Both Chemistry and Physics students find, the slide rule an invaluable instrument when they try to work out square roots, multiply, or divide. Learning to use the slide rule takes time. Field trips enliven daily science work Marshall ' s Science Department encourages each of its students en- rolled in its numerous classes to develop the skill and interest in the field of science. The Science Depart- ment is headed by Mr. Robert Weaver. Starting with biology, students ac- quire a deeper appreciation of living things by observing birds, collecting insects and collecting leaves. In chemistry and physical science stu- dents become acquainted with chem- icals and learn about atomic struc- ture. In physics class, students dis- cuss the Laws of Gravity, scalar and vector properties. Anatomy, the study of the body involves the dis- section of animals to gain an under- standing of human bones and muscles. Having just constructed a perfect model of a compound carbon molecule using different colored gumdrops is one of the students in Biology 1. The make-up of the atom along with the basic laws and principles of atomic structure and theory were studied in biology.

Students are required to perform experiments and observations with various kinds of acids and chemicals in order to pass the Chemistry course.
