CHEMISTRY There is a limit of accur- ancy inherent in any ex¬ perimental set up. It de¬ pends on the precision of the measuring device used. It is the aim of every Chem¬ istry student at Luther Jackson High School to per¬ form the various opera¬ tions and measurements with such skill that the ex¬ perimental accuracy will be limited only by the appara¬ tus used. CHEMISTRY B 10L0GV a 0 .y Ol BIOLOGY Visual aids in the form of charts, pictures, slides, filmstrips, master Vu- Graph, Ken-O-Vision or, motion pictures, are ex¬ tremely valuable in the study of Biology. Many top¬ ics such as the processes and functions of living or¬ gans, or the behavior of plants and animals in their natural environments, can be studied in the laboratory by this method, better per¬ haps, than any other.
