However, to 7th grade students, math means more than that. A calculated 16X: of students were selected for pre- algebra. This fraction was divided into two classes taught by Mr. Walter Chany. In preparation for next year they learned about algebra in general. In addition to the advanced classes the regular math classes worked with computers and calculators. They were challenged to a Problem of the Day if they had Mrs. Rosemary Nearpass. Math games and brainteasers enhanced each class to add excitement. To look at it from a different angle, working out prob- lems many times became frustrating but the point is, once the concepts and formulas were achknowledged things began to look positive. 24 Seventh graders, Brian Thompson and Joe Pruss take time out of their daily work to broaden their computer skills. The class works on the computer 3 to 5 days a week. i;

Seventh Graders Prefer Experimenting What is Newtonis hrst law of motion? How are mono- tremes different from other mammals? if you were a seventh grader studying life or physical science, you would know the answers to these questions. A seventh graders year consisted of a one semester study of life science and another semester of physical science. When Marcia Krisher's class was studying life science, the students participated in a three day project involv- ing a hay infusion microscope study. Also, in this unit, the class dissected earthworms and flowers. Mrs. Krisher stated, I enjoy teaching science be- cause I'm always learning something myself. Mr. James Stesch's life science class did a unit on mammals, studied cells and did microscope studies. When Mrs. Sharon Schmidt's class studied physical science, they studied Newtonis three laws of motion. They did such things as propelling blocks along smooth surfaces, working with pullies and performing other simple experiments. iii like science because it helps kids learn to think by doing the hands oni activities that we do and analyzing their results. stated Mrs. Schmidt. Mr. Michael Buzene's physical science class worked with simple machines, did simple experiments and studied about Newton and other famous inventors. Seventh grade science student Eric Hemley stated I like science because its interesting and I enjoy doing experiments. said Beth Grime another seventh grade science student.
