Webster gives us that difin- ition of science. Without sci- ence and without research labs, the technology of the human race would cease to exist. lt would simply die. With the help of' teachers who are willing to teach and students who are willing to learn, this could never hap- pen. Mr. Don Jackson has been the high school science teach' er for two school years, from 1983 to 1986. He teaches Gen' eral Science, Physical Sci- ence, Biology, Advanced Bi- ology ll, Chemistry, and Physics. ln the 86-87 school year he has plans for an Ad- vanced Earth Science class. His Advanced Biology ll class has been very actiactive. They have dissected seven cats and one shark. Learning the anatomy of plants and animals is a very important part ot' the Advanced Biology class. Students who take an ad- vanced science class will probably have jobs related lo science. Every good scientist knows that an education is the key to success. Kevin Davis looks at the wings of a honey bee through the lens of a high powered microscope. Mr. Jackson tries to explain the theory ot' evolution to his Advanced Biology students. W.- W
