Observing the plants of the life science stu- dents, Mr. Carl Boone and Paul King kneel to get a closer look. Working on her algebra assignment, Shelly Ford displays concentration. Focusing his microscope, sophomore Eric Collom peers into its lense for examination of a biology specimen. All eyes are cast toward books and work as an algebra class studies intently. To produce and collect ammonia gas, Kenny Collins calculates and weighs the correct amount of ammonium chloride to mix with Lori Matney's sodium hydroxide. Under each cup a sprouting plant is grown because of work done by Kim Smiley, Mi- chelle Choate and each life science student. Hoeing the cultivated garden, Paul King mulchcs the soil while Jeff Cottle assists. Ben McNeill and Kevin Humphrey work to- gether as a team in a bead and flame test to determine specific gravity.

Think They're learning how to study, They're learning what real effort is. These words described Mr. Bob Newbrough's students as he spoke in regard to what could be learned from his chemistry and physics classes. In the chemistry class, individual thinking was strongly emphasized. ln this area of individual thought stu- dents were required to develop their own methods of study as they sweat- ed through much homework. The students also enjoyed learning through laboratory experiments, Fi- nally they were given the opportunity to use their mathematical skills as they tried to develop a solution to a problem. In addition to being sharpened in the science department, mathematical skills also were strengthened through use in algebra, geometry, advanced algebra, senior math and statistics. ll6fMath 8: Science Learn, Gdvanc
