<p>if I do something during the school day, does it count as an EC? for example, if I had a free period but instead spent time doing experiments in a lab, does that count?</p>
<p>Hmmm. I’d say it does. Since it’s not required [even though it occurs during school], it’s an extracurricular [as in… outside of curriculum].</p>
<p>yeah I don’t know how you’d write that out. If you are so interested in doing experiments, maybe join/start a club? Or ask your teacher if you can use a free block to be a teacher’s assistant to him/her.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’d say it counts. As Inveniamviam said, anything outside of the school curriculum can be counted as an EC.</p>
