1 -Kevin Garner, Ted Dean, and Becky Sanders works vigorously in Chemistry. 2-Dissecting a craw fish is common in Biology. 3-Mrs. Watts is thinking about going back to her chemistry class. 4-8cott Means speaks his mind. 5-Willie Ennis works on a lab paper. Biology, a study of life which encompasses plants and animals, is required of all students. Biology is taught by Mrs. Watts, Mrs. McClard, and Mrs. Gerdeman. Chemistry is another class taught by Mrs, Watts. It is a study of the composition of matter and its changes. Principles covered in lecture are demonstrated through approx- imately 30 lab experiments and written problem solving. Physics, taught by Mr. Akins, is the inter-relationship between mat- ter and energy and its application to all sciences. The essential concepts of physics are developed in an orderly manner so as to present a unified, logical sequence. Some of the major concepts are vector quantities, momentum and conservation, reflection, and refrac- tion, electricity, and atomic energy. In Earth Science, the study of earth can be divided into three closely related sciences: geology, the study of the earth and atmosphere that surrounds the earth. Since the earth is a member of the universe, astronomy is the study of the earth ' s relationship with the cosmos. Science 121

Oh, No, My Batteries Are Dead! The Math Department this year had a few pluses. Lake Hamilton High School offers a variety of math courses from practical math to modern introductory analysis, which all help the students to prepare themselves for the future. The newest class started when some students wanted a college prep class. So Mr. Allen and Mr. Carter, Principal, got together and planned the new class. Mr. Allen volunteered to use his experiences of teaching for the new class. So when the 1980-81 school year started thirteen students were enrolled in the new class of modern introductory analysis. The students of the class find it most challenging. The math department has four qualified teachers: Mr. Jerry Allen who teaches trigonometry, geometry, and modern introductory analysis; Mr. Mark Smith, Algebra I and II and practical math; Mr. Eldon Weatherford, business and practical math; Mrs. Mary Cone, Algebra II, business math, and geometry. So with our books, pencils, and calculators we groan and gripe until we succeed in conquering the prob- lems of math. 1-Mr. Smith is drawing on the board again. 2-Wade Jones challenges two pages at one time. 3-Tammy Casement and Steve Cahanin are amused with something in the front of the room. 122 Math
