Work, Work, Work! eighth graders Heather Costell and P.J. Baer concentrate heavily on mixing chemicals and recording their results. Look! Seventh graders, Dan Momberg, Eric Bagrowski, Tina Gembreska and Tracy Blakeman study micro-organisms on the new micro projector in Mrs. SchmidtIs first hour life science class. Scientific Students Acquire New Knowledge In Required Classes All Aspects Of Life Studied ItScience class is always changing because of advances in technologyfi stated seventh grade science teacher Mrs. Marcia Krisher. Because of these advances, the seventh grade classes received new microscopes that magnify up to 2,750 times larger. They can be projected on a wall or movie screen so the class as a whole can view an object. ItThese are really great microscopeslII stated Mrs. Sharon Schmidt seventh grade science teacher. The eighth grade classes receive IIScience Worldit mag- azine every month. These magazines are a great addition because they bring up to date information on science that isn,t found in a textf, stated eighth grade science teacher Mr. Larry OIDell. In ninth grade, a couple new animals were purchased by life science teachers Mr. Lynn Gray and Mr. James Bell. These included a chincilla and a yellow rat snake. These animals arenit hurt in anyway, they are just used to study life habits. Seventh graders work out of Life Science and Physical Science books, each year for one semester. Mrs. KrischerIs class works on such projects as disecting frogs and her anual egg drop contest. This is held in the spring and awards are given for the raw eggs that survive the second story fall. Students can use many materials to protect the egg, and it must land on the cement. 20 Eighth grade science classes work out of Science World II. This book deals mostly with mixing chemicals and recording the reactions. If an excellent job is done, a student may be eligible for a sunshine award from Mr. OIDell or an Iggy award from Mr. Vischer. ttSome of the experiments are confusing, but theyire fun, eighth grader Stacey Morh said. In ninth grade, students have a semester of earth sci- ence. In earth science there are four books to choose from. Mrs. Audra Hodge, earth science teacher said III like the variety Iof different studentsi there aref' In life science there are about 12 books to choose from, ranging from raising a plant to learning how to record a persons blood pressure. Also included in the life science classes are two games, IiEnvironmental Science and Three Mile Is- land? The Environmental Science game is played by the class as a whole. In this game each student is given a role, and the student portrays this role, either for or against a certain energy. The Three Mile Island game is played on the computer in class. In this game students have a chance to run their own nuclear power plant. In all the classes there are responsibilities. Whether it be taking care of Grumpy the alligator or just handing work in on time, the teachers expect them to be done regularly!
