Students' Knowledge Widened Through Field Trips, Labs Science students survived sometimes nauseating but always enlightening dissections, they tromped through wooded areas on field trips, and they scanned the heavens - always in search of knowledge of life's mysteries. Earthworrns, grasshoppers, starfish, crayfish and other creatures went un- der the knives of biology students. In an extensive biology lab, students cul- tured bacteria to study. Other classes traveled to the University of Kansas Museum to study anthropology. Stud- ies of population dynamics ot the fruit fly, environmental pollutants and the effects smoking has on fish were con- ducted by biology students. A biology class went to Squaw Creek Wildlife Refuge to observe birds and to trap Jiang ,pw H Q,- small animals to study. Astronomy classes took photographs of planets, studied radio astronomy and observed the stars during light and dark hours. They visited the Washburn University planetarium for day and night observations. Human ecology study, based on the energy crisis, attempted to define hu- man society and analyze a liveable situ- ation. Floral arrangements for fall and the Christmas season, boutonniers and cor- sages were botany class projects. Stu- dents planted seedlings and observed their growth, toured a florist company and viewed life in Menninger Woods. Physics students heard guest speak- ers from the University of Kansas and Kansas State University and visited the engineering department at KSU, in- cluding the nuclear reactor. The year-end reward for advanced placement students was their test in May to earn credit for college. People X Science X 93
