Scope of Study: The group project in high school biology is used as an effective teaching device by many teachers. This report endeavors to encourage more teachers to use this device by offering assistance in planning and completing a group study on the high school level. An example of a group project is given in some detail and suggestions for other types of projects are listed. Materials used are chiefly (1) Science Education Journals, (2) the candidates own experience with high school group work.

Findings and Conclusions: The well trained high school biology teacher can make effective use of the group study method. A variety of teaching techniques are essential to the high school biology teacher. The technique employed to teach the subject matter will be dictated by the personality of the teacher and the school environment. Group project work can be used by most well trained biology teachers to good advantage.
