Chemists’” Experiments Test Laws Dorinda Haines, Bruce Hall, and Dennis Hunter, experiment in the chemistry lab with many acids, bases, and salts. Understanding teachers, good equipment, and patience added to the success of the experiments we did. EVERY DAY OUR biology class learned new and interesting things such as how to draw cells and how to understand the “theory of evolution.” We often shrieked, yelled, and turned pale (boys as well as girls) when we cautiously explored the insides of the wiggly worm and mysterious frog. PLANTS AND ANIMALS were required subjects of the botany and the zoology classes. In botany, we explored the depths of plants and found that under microscopes, flowers possess stamens, pistils, and circulatory systems,, which make them very complex as well as beautiful. By studying the bones and systems of animals, we gained a better understanding of our own bodies. FOR MOST OF US, chemistry was our steady diet. We ate formulas for breakfast, equations for lunch, and theories for dinner. Chemistry was a challenge and many of us worked harder than ever before to grasp its complexities because we knew we were living in a constantly changing world—one in which a knowledge of the chemical world might mean the difference between our total annihilation or our survival. —26—
