With great demands in the field of science, more students enrolled in sci- ence classes. In Science 8 and 9, which were required classes, the students began their journey into the world of science. They studied elements, minerals, solar eclipses, and other cosmic realms. The physics students studied motin and its effect on matter. Many of these students competed in the Science Olymiad at BVGC. JD Keitharand Johnnie Bentley captured first place in the egg drop 12 ACADEMICS and Donna Twoey took second in titration. Jeff Turner palced third in the boomerang throw while Kathy Kelley won first place in titration. Second place in biology disection was taken by Jamie Sluss and first place in tissue identification was Steve Matda. The biology students peered at strange and alien forms through their micro- scopes. For most, Biology I was a new and thrilling area of study. Down the hall the chemistry students were also getting a bit ap- prehensive because they were preparing to do an ex- periment, one which called for dangerous acid. With throbbing pulses and hands steady as a surgeon, the students created pretty pink solutions. Even though the lab was danger- ous it was also very thrill- ing for them to create new substances.
