The IRP is a requirement of all advanced science courses such as AAP 7th & 8th Grade Science, Advanced Integrated Physics and Chemistry, Pre-AP Biology, AP-Chemistry, AP-Biology, and AP-Physics. This project is a semester project that is completed independently and culminates with a classroom presentation and science fair competition.
