Students Learn Wonders Of Science Liquid filled flasks reflect the diligent studies of the students during experiments in the Chemistry Lab. This has often been called the scientific age, age of research and development, test tubes, atoms, serums and pills. To be able to compete in this technical, factual world, where survival of the fittest is the estab- lished law, students should be acquainted with the basic enigma of science. The general sci- ences in eighth and ninth grades gave the students a smattering of basic knowledge from photosynthesis to electronic charges. The miracle and construction of life was examined through the microscopes and dissections of the biology lab where students were initiated in the discovery and procedure of lab science. Chemistry was a chart to be memorized of elements, composite properties, atomic charges, number, weight, experiments that produced colored flames and horrible smells, a first-hand knowledge of bunsen burners and test tubes, and learning the difference between an acid and a base the hard way. Physics stu- dents applied principles of mathematics to solve problems in mechanics, heat, sound, light, and electricity. r % Dissecting crayfish is only one of the many discoveries students enrolled in biology are introduced to. 29
