First Step To Knowledge Is Curiosity In a world of sparkling test tubes, multi-shaped flasks and beakers, and powerful microscopes, biology students delve into the miracles of the age and uncover many interesting areas of study. Problems in plant and animal life are studied by using the scientific method. Sophomores found that dissecting the earth¬ worm, observing life in a drop of water through powerful lenses, or making collections of plant and animal life, help to make the study of biology more exciting. Some of the classes observed a young squirrel and several baby rabbits, while others investigated the field of genetics through the observation of hamsters. A course in advanced biology is offered to those who qualify. The function of this class is to delve deeper into the study of anatomy, and the major project is the dissection of a cat. Other student projects such as the incubation of chicken eggs, the study of recessive and dominant genes in vegetables, and the force-feeding of snakes, demonstrate fact by putting theory into practice.
