Students Experiment, Explore, Work Together The Chemistry Club benefits members by giving them an idea of the available job opportunities involving the chem¬ istry field. The Chem Club also gives members a chance to socialize with other students who have an interest in chem¬ istry. The group, sponsored by Dr. Mary Pettersen, went to Inland Steel in December to view the chemical labs, and visited Amaco labs in Whiting to observe chemical testing. At the beginning of the school year, Chem Club mem¬ bers sponsored a fish bowl toss at the International Culture Festival to raise funds. In the future, the club hopes to sponsor projects such as collecting aluminum cans and newspapers for recycling. The Physics Club, sponsored by Mr. David Lindsey, en¬ ables students to explore physical phenomena that would be impossible to observe during class. The additional study and performing of experiments expands the club members ' knowledge and interest in physics. Club members attended a field trip to Yerke ' s Observa¬ tory in Wisconsin to observe the world ' s largest refracting telescope, and went on a camping trip in April to study astronomy. The Physic s Club also raised money by selling doughnuts and raffle tickets. The Electronics Club, sponsored by Mr. Joel Romero, gives students the opportunity to work with electrial equipment. Students are able to share their interests in electrical projects by working on projects together. Most members join the Electronics Club after participating in electronics class. 30 Physics Club Chem Club Electronics Club
