Science department lacks supplies Mrs. Whitesell, Bill Parks, and Jay Alexander watch pa¬ tiently for the outcome of a lab experiment. In his characteristic pose, Mr. Starling explains parallel and series circuits to his physical science class. The science department is involved in teaching biology I and II, chemistry I and II, physics, and physical science. The department does not yet have all the equipment but the supplies are being accumu¬ lated. The science students try to make logical conclu¬ sions about what happens in their experiments after carefully analyzing their collected data. Most of the experiments done are of the discovery type. Mr. Starling’s classes have made some of their own equipment. Among this equipment is an airgun, a frictionless puck, and a ripple tank.
