Solar eclipses and plants grow- ing from the sinks added new twists to Feehan’s science classes. Freshmen opened with BSCS, studying flowers, Darwin’s theo- ries, and bacteria. Sophomores and juniors applied principles of the ideal gas law and Kelvin’s ab- solute zero. Juniors and seniors explored new fields o f science in Advanced Chemistry and Physics. Using telescopes and polaroid lenses, astronomy students ob- served December’s solar eclipse and meteorite shower. Advanced Biology students dissected fetal pigs and attempted to capture protozoa under the microscope, while Physiology students applied knowledge of the body to prepare them for future medical careers. Above right: “Its got funny green legs!” Denise Desmarais adjusts her slide, as Sr. Josepha studies her drawings. Below right: Kaleidoscope motion opens a new interest to future astronomers, Col- leen Durocher, Leslie Clark, and Ted Weygand. Below: Experimenting for acceleration due to gravity, Mr. Santonastaso keeps a watc hful eye on Paul Cummins. Microscopes and telescopes: new insights
