Science meets The launching of the Sputnilis and the Explorer,, has pro duced a nation-wide pressure on science programs, which has made itself felt at John Jay. VVe helieve that we have had, for many years, a strong department of science. Six years of scientific study are now open to us W two in junior high and four in high school. In order to further strengthen our science department, the ad- ministration has put into operation a three-track program in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. Three groups take courses that differ greatly in content. Those of us who are especially interest- ed in science are given an opportunity to do more advanced work. Others work at programs adapted to our ability and interest. A two-track program is heing considered for chemistry and physics similar to the one which is already in operation in hiology. Also. future hiology students will he enjoying something we missed. regularly scheduled lah periods which will add interest to the course. The laboratory work makes science come alive. Vie saw the ef- fects of two different diets on white rats. Wlhen the lahels were switched, we also got a lesson in the importance of the controlled experiment. One day in class, the apparently non-educational prac- tice of flipping coins hecame a lesson on the laws of prohahility. Vile remember discoyering some of the properties of the halo- gens when the production of hromine and chlorine gas left us tearyf eyed and choking. VVhen we look with a trained eye. we understand how many scientific principles we apply to our daily activities. ri. sc! . ss i t 1. Q s y L ,. I 7 we W K Sli flfzuy Kiawah I gist, V . , X. 1 js - .
