Ninety percent of the science students enjoyed being taught by the individual instruction method. Seventeen hundred students were in the science program in which lab work was stressed more than book work. Courses were individual laboratory sciences based on behavioral objectives. Biology seminar, a new subject, was a class in desert ecology. Twenty stu- dents had to be able to identify some two hundred plants and animals of the surrounding territory of the desert. 94 ACADEMICS: CU RRI CU LUM The students were allowed to work in the desert for study and research pur- poses. Mr. Joe Hamrick, who has done work in ecology, taughtthe course. Besides identification, the students learned soil analysis, how to sample and howto make proper staistics. An outgrowth was that some students went to Wrightstown Elementary School and taught sixth graders there indent- ification of plants and animals. i I like teaching...ninety-nine percent of the students are great. said Mrs. Karen Campbell, a biology teacher. She also said that she would rather teach alone, but Mr. Hamrick, with whom she teamed, was very easy to work with. i is , sie. ..L: . 1 QQ x A ig, Y
