Search or Tomorrow No, I would not like to disect a fetal pig. says Judy Douglas in response to Donna Pease's suggestion for their science project. Dave Wainio Josephine Bordonaro J QU ts Ed Swiatlowski George Boljonis E Carl Turshman Barbara Spector Disect a frogenever, not mel Thatis the kind of thing you might hear from a Corcoran student who has not had the op- portunity to take a Biology course at T.J.C. But once a stu- dent learns more about the plants and animals in our environ- ment, they realize how valuable it could be to take apart a small animal and see how it functions. The teachers in the science department are sensitive to the needs ofthe students. Dave Wainio, Josephine Bordonaro, and Barbara Spector work with students to develop knowledge about the living world around them. This knowledge not only gives a person a better understanding of all creatures but helps individuals to know more about their own bodies. The Chemistry and Physics courses taught by George Boljonis Carl Turshman, and Ed Swiatlowski are very technical in na- ture but are invaluable to students who are interested in the physical world about them. Although one may not realize it before taking these subjects, after completion, students un- derstand how Chemistry and Physics are interrelated with every aspect of our daily lives. If you have an opportunity, and have never done so, stop by the science roomswthere's a whole world of knowledge to be gained within the four walls of these classrooms. 0233
