General science is one of three physical sciences. Physics students Mark Rose and John Newsom carefully prepare a mercury mixture to be used in on experiment dealing with temperature and pressure. Jennifer Seim heats a tube liberating oxygen during a chemistry experiment. Theresa Mayes carefully collects the oxygen in the bottles as Denise Seale watches. Science 13

Practical Wonders Reading textbooks, taking notes, and listening to lectures are not the extent of science classes. Experimentation was a key element in studying scientific procedures. The science department offered many opportunities for hands on application of the materials digested. Life science experiments allowed students to become surgeons while dissecting various organisms. During the carving process, students were able to identify, as well as gain an understanding of, the reproductive, nervous, and digestive systems. Much of what was learned is applicable to the systems in the human body. Students experiement to discover reasons why the heavens do not run out of water to rain with. They also explore the various organisms floating in a cool refreshing glass of water. Through the use of microscopes, sealed aquariums, and close observation, students may seek answers to general yet complicated questions. Physical sciences exclude life forms and study anything from the components of table salt to the reason why a top spins. Devices for experimentation may include strings, weights, spinning objects, and fire. Science shows us why there is more gas in the tank of a car when it is filled on a cold day rather than a hot day. Also, why the principles of momentum may be beneficial in hustling a game of pool. Students often jump into their lab coats, situate their goggles, and start swinging pendulums to find out why the Earth spins, why the temperature changes, and other practicle applications. Experiments through the science departments postively transfer to our perception of daily experiences. Understanding why it is necessary to breathe, why a bowling ball rolls, and how to separate oil from water can help people understand situations that they may encounter everyday, said Mr. Cooksey. Mr. Fiesbeck explains to Eric Ellison what they hove seen in the microscope Microscopes were often used in zoology while studying different types of organisms. Freshman Shelly Tallent observes a slide which she has carefully prepared in biology class. Her topic of study was plant and animal life in pond water 12 Science

Teresa Shane uses a protractor to measure an angle on the blackboard The seventh grade math class did an entire unit over measurements where the students familiarized themselves with protractors, rulers, and a trundle wheel While doing story problems involving complex fractions, Andra Hedrick takes notes for her notebook off the blackboard in Algebra I class. Mrs. Siebert required the class to keep a notebook that was turned in every test day. 14 Math
