SGIENGE DEPARTMENT With new faces and courses, this year’s Science Department qualified as one of the most changed departments in Jefferson. PSSC Physics was added to the curriculum as our first seniors demanded broader horizons. In- teresting experimental classes in SMS Biology were taught, along with the BSCS Green Biology course. To prepare Jefferson’s novice scientists for future studies in PSSC, BSCS, and CHEM Study, the Earth Science curric- ulum was further refined. New teachers in the Science Department included Mr. Colson in Physics and Mrs. Cushing in Chemistry. With this larger staff and a better program we hoped to develop a deeper interest in science and the scientific method, by adopt- ing the laboratory approach. oS REA NA ANAN ou “1 know it sounds funny, but it says right here, ‘Water the balance every hour’. . .” MARTIN S.
