Week- ly laboratory periods were used to prove the properties and sources of elements. Physics went into greater detail on such topics as nuclear physics, electricity, and heat, plus the accompanying problem solv- ing. Laboratory periods were used to prove the laws and theories of physics. Ninth grade science was divided into two groups, earth science and general science.
