Students of science courses receive basic experience that becomes a stepping stone to the complex fields of science and engineering. Experiments and problems in the classroom help them to an understanding of the knowledge needed to enter careers they may have chosen. Field trips, slides, and research add to their knowledge. They gain valuable experience by using laboratory equipment under the guidance of etlicient teachers. They become accurate observers. The atomic age in which they live has made students aware of the need for trained minds to understand the problems of humanity that only science can solve.
