MR. RONALD MARR B.S..M.A. John Hopkins University Physics and Chemistry SCIENCE The'Chemical Education Materials Study program, known as CHEM Study, is the most recent addition to the Science curriculum at Breck School. The entire Junior class was involved in the new program during the 63-64 school year. CHEM Study originated at Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, California, and the University of California at Berkeley with Glenn Seaborg acting as Chairman. During the past three years the program was enriched and tested by trial schools. 1963-64 was the first year with the hard-bound text edited by George Pimentel. The course differs from the traditional course in many ways but especially in the experimental work; the text title An Experimental Science is designed with this approach in mind. The classes have enjoyed the unusual and new. sophisticated experiments they have done. 'Ilic Senior Physics class continues to work with the Physical Science Study Committee material, known as PSSC. Present planning for the future in Science at Breck includes evaluating and testing of the Biological Science Curriculum Study, to be known as BSCS, with the hope of eventually adding this appropriate course to the Science program.
