p y ica properties of oxygen as he collects it in his Prep Chemistry class. Science Labs Stimulate Curiosity and Discovery Through experimentation, science students strived to gain an understanding of scientific theory. Classroom work gave students a basic knowledge of facts, but in lab work they applied these facts, to form their own ideas. Physics classes demonstrated the light theories of wave and particle and were encour- aged to form their own conclusions based on ex- perimental data. Biology students analyzed dif- ferent facets of life and then related these to one another in establishing the unity of the liv- ing world. Chemistry students explored the properties of different elements, thus expanding their foun- dation of scientific understanding, while physi- ology experiments on the cat aided students in their study of the processes of the human body. Mr. Hopkins, department chairman, and his staff placed the responsibility of learning with the student himself, as he achieved a greater understanding of science through experimenta- tion.
