New Horizons Science is opening a whole new world for many students. As students prepare for college, they take various science courses to help further their education. In Science 8 and 9, the students study and examine the earth. During their Sophomore year, many students taking Biology dread the moment of dissection. Then during their Junior year, several students went one step and took Chemistry. These students quickly leaned that Chemistry equals pain, suffering, and an immense amount of studying. Finally, only the bravest of the brave have the courage to venture into Physics their Senior year. This group consists of seven seniors who quickly discovered what “‘work’’ is all about! Students may not admit it, but science is a vital part of our everyday fives. It takes a “‘certain kind of Chemistry” to master the sciences. Just a Little More ... Mitch House watches as D. J.

Whether you are in Sci- ence 9, Physics, or anywhere in between, you are required to do a science project. For many students, this eriment is counted as a portion of their six weeks grade. Since this is only the second year Castlewood has had a Science Fair, the idea is still relatively new to most students. However, aff etait faced the challenge avely and many emerged vic- torious. The winners of the school air proceeded to county compe- eg Those w ho “tthe att progressed to regional, The elite few who placed at regionals were promoted to state and even na- tional levels. D. J. Hatfield earned a spot in the National Science Fair or his computerized project. Je hefeh fies was avarded a honor of competing in the State Science Fair with his computer project. Although many students moaned, groaned, and complained about aff the hard work, hel all feamed a great deaf about their gk study area. I suspect some of them even enjoyed such a task, ut, rest assured, they wouldn't admit it. The Science Fair has been incorporated into the search for higher academic qualities.
