Especially the use of the microscope and studying microscopic organisms.” “And making landforms from modeling clay in physical science.” “Junior high students spent much time making posters and giving reports on the parts of the body, and of course experiments were not limited to sci- ence classes. They were also included in trig.” “By the way. Did any of you trig students ever get the flag pole measured?” “Of course we did. We weren’t a bunch of dumb- dumbs you know.” “Sometimes 1 felt that most of the English classes were spent preparing students for the basic skills that are tested on CRT and state assessment.
