Science To Graduate In order to graduate from high school you must complete two years of science. One year must be a life science and the oth- er a lab science. Life sciences con- sist of the following: life science, biology, marine science, and physiology. Lab sciences include: chemistry, advance placement chemistry, physics, and physical science. Biology and chemistry are the two basic classes that most stu- dents choose to take. Life science and physical science are survey courses of biology and chemistry. Some universities, however, re- quire students to take physiology, physics, or a. p. chemistry. In a. p., you really just dig deeper. Now there is a lot of x ' stuff to solve for, David Waldron said about the comparison of chemis- try to a. p. chemistry. Teachers like what they teach and make it fun for the students. Labs are done in all of the classes, so that there is a way to under- stand and experience what is be- ing taught. tf ' Kia mM B 1 Top row: Mr. Collins, Mr. Fisher, Mr. Cullen, Mr. Lambert, Mr. Pestolesi Front row: Mrs. Olsen, Mr. Wynkoop, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Adams 208 Academics

For most, math is a subject looked up to, a challenge just waiting to be conquered. Math is needed for any career one desires. Kris Choi said, I want to be a doctor, of course I need math. Yeah, I like math. Some might disagree that it is needed, but it is a proven fact. There are many different levels of math at Estanc ia. These levels range from basic math to calculus. Usually, the majority of students take the required two years to graduate, but some take four years and beyond.

John Baipsys and David Waldron dem- onstrate a typical day in a. p. chemsitry. Actually, they don ' t really stand on the desks, their class is designed to prepare them for the a. p. test they take in May. 3.
