Students were able to learn abstract concepts while enjoying the experience. Everywhere around us were substances composed of even smaller particles. To help students better understand this concept of their environment, sciences were offered as a port of the curriculum. Chemistry has such obstroct concepts, but I like mixing chemicols and observing the reactions. Linh Huynh, a Chemistry UK student, said. While Huynh was observing reoctions, biology students were busy dissecting frogs, growing tadpoles and learning about the evolutionary theory. Since I had not taken biology since my freshman year, Joel Dodeaux said, I took it (Biology UK) to refresh myself. Some students found enough difficulty leorning one science course, but there were others who faced on even greater challenge Viet Phon often en- countered difficulties in learning Physics IK, Biology UK and Chemistry UK oil in one day. I sometimes had three tests in one day, ond I passed only one test that I didn ' t study for, Phon sold While learning, students could also hove some fun. ' The freezing point depression (ice cream) lob was the most in- teresting activity, Huynh said It was the only time when the chemicals were edible and when we were more relaxed with the pure purpose. Students were not the only ones who faced the chollenges ond enjoyment in science enjoy the variety of material and concepts that can be presented in chemistry, Cecil Childers said, ond the chollenge is to take complex theories and problems and simplify them to moke them understandable to the overage student. Whether it be chollenging or enjoyable, some students found that science would benefit them. I think I moy major in biochemistry in col- lege, ond so the extra ex- posure to biology now should help, Dodeaux sold. BYQUYENVa A Gtowing Experiment.
