Observations are essential, as any science student knows, so they stay prepared with a sharp eye and a sharp pencil to record what's happening. Biology students may find some of their most interesting days spent in the lab. Here they explore organisms and study functions of living cells. Precision is the method in these courses. Students solve for the un- known with basic albegra, and work with the science of sizes and shapes, geometry. Physics provides a more involved look at objects of our environment and the forces which effect them. The advanced courses, though more difficult to learn, show increasingly fascinating ways to solve complicated problems of space, velocity, and energy.
