Science Stresses Lab Biology, chemistry, and physics, along with general science, physiology, and health courses, comprised the science curriculum at McAul,ey. ln the biology department this year, a new text, Patterns and Processes, was implemented for the first time. The book, which was lab-orientated, was designed to aid students who find tradi- tional biology difficult. lts bio-chemical approach placed the em- phasis on the chemistry of life, rather than on learning structures and their functions. Other biology courses included the Molecules to Man text and an advanced course, Interaction of Experiments and Ideas. All are a part of the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study. Chemistry and physics courses at McAuley stressed individual work to give the students a greater responsibility. Instructors in science hall this year included Sister Mary Jean- ette, Sister Mary Breta, Sister Mary Kathleen, and Mrs. Margaret Gaynier. SISTER MARY BRETA, R.S.M. Biology.
