Science Courses Give Foundation To All Students By taking science courses. I hope to get a good foundation in several areas so I can further my studies in college, expresses David Coul- liette, senior. Science is an important course for all college bound individuals. Chemistry, physics, physiology, biology, marine biology and earth science are some of the courses offered through the Science Department. These courses stress a learn-by-doing approach which enables the students to think for them- selves and to acquire an understanding of science. Microscopes, overhead projectors, spring balances and various lab materials are available to the student who wishes to further his understanding. The Northwest Regional Science Fair is held in March and open to all science students wishing to participate, This allows the ambitious student the opportunity to express himself as he learns through experimentation. With the scientific age coming upon us, science is an essential part of Escambia's curriculum. I feel if I am exposed to a wide variety of courses, I will have a better idea of which area to specialize in, concludes David.

Effective Stud Of Mathematics s Available Mathematics prepares students for the future by helping them to cope with financial and educational programs effectively. expresses Mrs. Jacqueline Reynolds. department head. All of the math courses meet the needs of the student for both present and future years. The many different math courses offered are two levels of general math. Algebra I and ll. geometry and math analysis. Also included in the curriculum are trigonometry-analyctic geometry. consumer math, computer math, survey of math and algebra skills. Only two years of math are requiredof each student in order to graduate. Some students carry their study of mathematics further for a more advanced education. Consumer math affords students with an opportunity to become more knowledgable in using money wisely, comments Mrs. Reynolds. Advanced courses prepare students to be successful in other educational pursuits. Throughout the year, some classes engage in outside activities such as visiting banks and computer centers. Students also become involved in the National Math Contest held in March. During April, a contest is sponsored by Milton. followed in May by the PJC contest.
