cience Introduces Chemistry 2 Members of the Science Department focused their attention on forming courses of penetrating study at all levels. Striving to give students with a special aptitude in science the opportunity to explore barriers between man and his universe, the department began advanced courses in Biology 2 and Chemistry 2. Follow-up tests enabled the participating pupils to earn college credit. Lab Research, connected with the Uni- versity of Miami, afforded the top IW of senior science students with B aver- ages the chance to perform experimental studies with the doctors and professors. Given the opportunity to excel in data processing at the University and Dade Junior College were five students. B.S.C.S. Biology, Chem Study, and P.S.S.C. Physics encouraged additional student growth. Students of limited ability in the science area were introduced to basic scientific concepts in classes emphasizing discovery and imagination. Field trips to Marine Biology facilities on Key Biscayne helped students visualize what a prominent area of study science has become 'fllifz2::....'s.g , ' - fiftzssygttzgigy Siifff,-t rw' Q 3' M 1 I S 2 if 1 40,4 'ii' T.

Participating students were granted the opportunity to earn college credit through the Advance Placement Examination taken in May. New Humanities courses geared to philosophical, historical, and aesthetic viewpoints of life ripened as a result of intercurriculum team teaching among the Social Studies, Art, and English Depart- ments. Definite progress in this program was attributed to ability-grouped classes. Supplying pupils with the understand- ing of the world in which they live were Economics, U.S. Government, World History, Sociology, and Psychology.
