Field trips are planned by science club Personal involvement is the keynote of this year ' s Science Club. The mem¬ bers are working on projects ranging from a study of the emotions of plants to designing and building an electric motorcycle. Since they are an affiliate of the Science Clubs of America, they are eligible to enter their projects in statewide contests and vie for money prizes. The Science Club holds hopes of field trips in the spring to a NASA installation or the National Radio Observatory. For students with a real interest in science, this club offers a casual way to broaden and deepen knowledge and to gain recognition.
