Hawaii beckons science students The Science Department completed a 1- year curriculum revision profiram in June. All of the science courses taught in the past were reviewed and several new ones were considered for implementation for the fu- ture. One new course was added for the summer mouths of 1980. It was a Marine Ecology course which was taught in Hawaii by a North instructor who accompanied a group of CNHS students to the islands for a concentrated two weeks of instruction. The Phvsiologv and Advanced Chemistrv classes toured the Eli Lilly Co. in In- dianapolis for the first time. The pharma- ceutical industry was discussed as to re- search and production techniques during the tour. The Science Club planned a tour of vari- ous obsei atories and museums in Chicago in late spring. Under the direction of Mr. Bill Linder. the students visited the Mu- seum of Science and Industry. Shad Aquar- ium, and Adler Planetarium. A TRS-80 micro-computer was added to the Science Resource Center, and the pro- gramming of scientific principles was en- couraged. Also, the chemistrv students par- ticipated in a research project in concert with Indiana Universitv concerning better methods of pro blem-solving. The project was funded by the National Science Founda- tion.
