It's also making available a valuable addition to the education of those whose interests lie in other fields. Biology, chemistry, and physics are representative of the courses offered. In biology one becomes acquainted with the how and the why of plant and animal life. Chemistry deals with matter: its composition and transformations. Physics is con- cerned with matter, energy, and physical changes in matter. Many of the elements of our surroundings, such as heat, light, and physical forces, are studied in detail. These three courses form the nucleus of the scientific program at AHS. Miss Burchinal explains to two biology students the process of one of man's most overused abilities-the ability to speak.
