To function in the 1980's requires a knowl- edge of computers. This science project demon- strates the gamut of practical and fun things avail- able in using a computer. FACTS AND MY SCIENCE PRCIECT and WEIRD SCIENCE were two movies that reminded us of our science classes this year. Whether it was dissecting a frog, experimenting with chemicals, or testing the pressure of water, students became captivated by the challenge. The fragrance of formaldehyde signi- fied a busy scientist at work. If you had walked into any lab, you might have seen students decked out in goggles, aprons, and safety gloves getting some hands on experience. With I-laley's Comet being the num- ber one extraterrestrial visitor, the highlight of the year was teacher Al IVIiller's planetarium. A strange looking black dome covered almost all of his upstairs classroom, and for several days he welcomed students from other ECRIVIULAS classes. They entered the portable star chamber for a very informative presen- tation on astronomy. As we progressed through our sci- ence classes, we realized that these im- portant courses enhanced our basic education. Chemistry and Physics teacher I oanne Byrd expressed it well. Technology is so much a part of our everyday lives that everyone should have a basic understanding of scientific principles and processes in order to function well in the working world and appreciate modern conveniences pro- vided by science. We agreed and we apreciated all our science teachers who challenged us to understand and to question the unknown - even if it was 'lweird science. Understanding the solar system is made easier for Iames Bowden and Da- vid Sherron as they play with a movable model in Coach Millers fifth period class. x ig -
