Students in the department are con- stantly provided with opportunities to make such observations and to draw conclusions from them. This hopefully leads the students to better understand the way in which events in nature are related by cause and effect relation- ships, said Science Department Chairman Ray Collins. The science teachers make the year exciting and interesting by going on trips such as an open house at St. Joseph's Hospital to observe machines and surgery in action. A guest speaker was invited to talk about Cardio Pulmo- nary Resuscitation CC.P.P.j. Physiolog- ical received new equipment to assist teaching muscular physiological anan- tomy, nervous and respiratory sys- tems. Chemistry students attended NAU Engineering Day and went to Palo Verde to see APS's nuclear project and went to Phoenix's Crime Lab. U of A sent a guest speaker to discuss chemi- cal engineering for those who hope to get involved in that field.
