Lab work Opens door To eA;perience SL PREMACY in world power may ul- timately depend upon supremacy in scientific knowledge. The United States becomes supreme by producing superior scientists through an extensive back- ground in science during high school and college years. Most of the science students are using new materials for study in individual subject matter areas. In biology, all stu- dents are using the Biological Science Curriculum Study (BSCS) blue version materials; the C class uses a modification of the BSCS. In chemistry, students use the Chemical Education Materials Study (CHEMS) Program. Emphasis is placed on teaching the important principles rather than the iso- lated fact. Laboratory work is stressed to give students an opportunity to discover principles from their own experiences. The earth science program for fresh- men has proved so effective that the de- partment plans to incorporate it into the regular program. Regular and college level physics courses, besides giving college bound students their fourth year in science, is also provided for the most perspective seniors. Three teachers attended school in their subject matter last summer, one worked on a special research project, and Mr. Leon Jordan attended the summer con- ference as a board member of BSCS. Dr. Lorenzo Lisonbee has had over 30 ar- ticles published in professional journals. Determining the focal length of a lens are Wendy Trudgen, Richard Jonovich and W ayne Job. Students are given an elemental background of scientific knowledge in H. Kendall Datson ' s general science class. JOHN K. CAMPBELL, biology, taught summer school ... HOBERT L.
