Mr. Jepson helps three of his students measure sound waves in his private Physics lab. Ability to Think The Science department consists of four courses: Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Physical Science. An enriched course is offered in each science. In Biology the study of the plant and animal kingdoms is augmented by actual laboratory observation. Microscopic examination of plants and dissection of several animals comprise the lab course. Chemistry, an elective in the eleventh and twelfth grades, is the study of the elements and their countless reactions with each other. Many hours are spent in the laboratory so that the students can learn from actual experimentation. Physics, offered only in the twelfth grade, helps students understand better the principles that govern the physical universe. Physical Science, a combination of Physics and Chemistry, is offered to those whose main interest or aptitude is in a field other than science. 19 Students study Biology in dead Ernest.
