Dissection of frogs and other small members of the animal kingdom leads biology and zoology students to an understanding of the human circulatory, digestive, and nervous systems. Botany students arc able to do much of their observation of plants at the Como Park Conservatory. Instructor Russell Johnson also enthusiastically directs class field trips. W.

The majority of students take biology to meet the science requirement. However, students interested in science may take more advanced courses. 22
