This year, CEHS is offering a Science Research Group ELO (Extended Learning Opportunities) class, with many students presenting their research at the Maine State Science Fair this spring. Two enrolled students have created surveys to support their research, and they need participants! Surveys take between 10-15 minutes to complete - please share with your friends and family!
