Into the Sciences Through biology, chemistry, and physics, the science department hopes to create a deeper understanding of the student's environment. The department is aided by such new facilities as triple-sliding blackboards and an aquarium. Biology, taught by Mr.Lance Bedwell, is a freshman requirement, while chemistry and physics, taught by Mr. Ernest Clayton, are junior and senior electives. With models of flowers, roots, and skeletons, biology students see first-hand some of the parts of the handicraft of nature. By dissecting fish, earthworms, and frogs, a better knowledge of anatomical systems is possible. As well as laboratory preparation, anatomy and physiology of plants, animals, and humans are also stud ied. Operating a slide rule and finding the atomic number of an element are two of the challenges faced by chemistry students. A supply of chemicals and more storage space lias made conducting more complex experiments possible. Physics students have also taken advantage of new equipment while studying the theories and discoveries of Archimedes, Democritus, and Thales. Mechanics, electricity, and atomic structure are other topics covered to gain insight into the physical aspects of science. HOW DOES THIS WORK? asks Sally Shaffer as Roger Embry explains the uses of an analytical balance. .. .AND 3 CC'S OF H2SO4, says Mick Turner to Joyce Chandler as they complete their experiment.
