Science Cells, microscopes, bell jars, bunsen burners, hypotheses, and H 2 0 are just a few of the concepts introduced to the Andrean science student. Our science department challenges us to experiment and discover. The world of scientific research offers many avenues to answer our many questions. The world of making observations and drawing conclusions is a fascinating one, and the Andrean science department offers courses, facilities, and a knowledgeable faculty to help us as we work with, observe, and record our many new discoveries. Our science department helps us understand the physical world about us, and offers a firm foundation for further study in college for careers in the field of science. Sr. M. Roselle, SS.C.M. Department Chairman Algebra I, Physical Science Mrs. Nancy Dustman Biology, Advanced Biology Mrs. Helen Giorgio Chemistry, Physical Science TOP: With a demonstration at the board, Mrs. Giorgio explains how a chemical reaction works.
