Q! 'diff Experimenting for Life Standing southeast of North High School's swimming pool is a relatively new building on our campus. lt houses all the science classrooms and science laboratories. In these rooms students have studied and analyzed organisms and experimented with them. During the past twenty-five years Red Knights have experienced a trend for society to become much more technological and computer oriented. The science program at North Fort Myers High School has attempted to help students develop the intellectual reasoning for con- tinued learning. The faculty designed the program for both the students who would not continue their formal education after high school and those who would pursue additional formal education. All North's students received instruction in either biological or physical science. Some of the courses were lectureforiented, while others were lab-oriented. ln many cases, a math course was needed as a prerequisite fora science class. Red Knights found great pleasure in mix- ing different chemicals and then observing the reaction produced. Sometimes the results were just as they expected, while other times the results were a complete surprise. lf a student entered another classroom on campus with dry, smelly hands, he possibly just completed the dissection of a dead frog, shark, pig, storfish, earthworm, or any of the organs ofa cow. Upperclassmen may have reminded some people of elementary-aged students when they used crayonsfcolored pencils, or even colored markers, to color in the parts of the human body in their workbooks. Actually, these juniors and Quick work is necessary in a science experiment as Lori Postlrlk and Lizette Patterson are learning with the aid ofMr. Lee Wersr. As Mrs. O'Grady tells her class about a plant, some students find it more interesting to talk to their neighbors. 95 . XX 1 ' I ' 'K seniors were studying human anatomy and physiology. Samples of water and soil were col- lected by environmental science students as they explored topics in pollution, land use, and their roles in both causing and solving problems related to the environment. Students who were planning to pursue careers in science were enrolled in the ad- vanced and honors courses, physics, chemistry, and science research. Once again, as with earlier years, Red Knights participated in the Lee County Science Fair. Students invented their own projects and spent as long as three months working on them for the event on February 1st-10th. Red Knights may not be Einsteins of the future, but they know how to live in and cope with this highly technological society. Science
