The Earth Science course was the course to false if you were a Freshman. Teachers covered a variety of suljects, including units on roclss, volcanoes, oceanography, and meteorology, The highlight of the course was a field trip to the mountains where students held a scavenger hunt, looking for such things as fossils, rocls structures, and dil-tes. The art of dissecting was conquered by many students who had o Biology class. These students aiso studied plant develop- ment, human biology, and cell structure. According to some students, Computer Programming was one of the most ertgoy- able classes in the Science Department. ln this course, students could learn about com' puters and even make up their own pro- grams. Among the classes for upperclass- men were Physics and Chemistry. ln Chemr istry, students enridwed their scientific lsnawl- edge by setting up chemical equations ond experiments. One of the most exciting segments of Physics was the bridge building. High schoolers could build model bridges out of balsa wood and then compete with other students to see how well they could support weight. When Physics students weren't building bridges, they studied the how and why things work. The most innovative class had to have been Colorado Experience. Students who were involved learned about Colorado in the past, present, and future. The highlight of this class was a vveels-long trip in which SCIENCE members visited places of interest throughe out Colorado. This class was intended so that students could relate to mqor issues facing Colorado. Counselor Mr. Cordova feels that the program is so special because lt in- volves all different kinds of students. 88 Science
