Working with different chemicals, students often made the halls of CHS reek with their discoveries. Mr. Frary commented. “Lab provides an excellent 'hands on experience’ and allows students to experience what actu- ally happens in a reaction.” The Freshman Science class Mr. Frary teaches helps sharpen math skills while Chemistry and Physics prepares college bound students for their futures.
