IN CHEMISTRY Jim Leigh and Clifford Frank examine the properties of gas formation. SCIENCE DEPARTMENT ... The intricate com- position of the atom, the mystery of sound, and the marvels of the human body are all studied in different branches of science. The first high school science class is general science, where students learn the basic ideas which serve as foundations for the more specialized forms of science. Such a specialized course is biology, where all forms of life — from the simplest amoeba to the remarkably efficient human body — are studied. Chemistry involves a study of the composition of all matter. All the elements and their combinations that form all the substances of this world are ex- amined by chemistry students. Chemical reactions and the properties of different mixtures and com- pounds are studied by experimentation and individual lab work on the part of the students. The last six weeks is devoted to qualitative analysis, where each student performs a series of experiments in order to determine what elements make up his sample of unknown solution. Physics is a study of electricity, light, sound and speed. The knowledge of many formulas is neces- sary for students to work the problems which con- cern velocity and light. Physics undertakes the ex- ploration of some of science ' s more difficult aspects. Through lectures, films, experiments and individual lab work, students develop a knowledge of scientific methods which the scientist uses to analyze and unlock nature ' s mysteries. ..
