Space Age Gadgets Aid Student Research The science departments of the School lack nothing with which the budding researchist can explore worlds of the infinite -from the infinite- ly small, through one of hundreds of precision microscopes, to the infinitely large, through the school observatory's four and one-half-inch re- fracting telescope. The laboratory equipment of the biology, chemistry, and physics departments provide a more-than-adequate complement to text book study. For the aspiring astronomer, there is, be- sides the telescope, a planetarium, future bota- nists have access to the roof-top greenhouse, coming chemists are completely at home in some of the nation's finest laboratories, and, biologists learn by using incubators, aquariums, and ter- rariums. Earth science students aid their in- structor in finding out about the weather by making daily reports, while space science under- studies utilize geiger counters for radiation research. ' But even all these facets of the student- scientist's life at Joliet Township High School are very partial in relationship with all the other space age gadgets he applies to his various, astounding proiects-such as those exhibited in the math-science fair held in May. of the new demonstration equipment ed for use in physics labs included wave machine that illustrates the motion cycles of waves.
