Chris Brownfield is exposed to some Weird Science as he demon- strates the effects of static elec- tricity on his hair. Technologyinvades the classroom As universities demand tougher college prep courses, the Science Department has added new classes within the past few years to meet their new requirements. With classes such as human physiology, field biology and aerospace added to the science curriculum, R-P,s department has grown to meet students changing needs. Instructors, Cynthia Boggs, Dave Ar- . nall, J oe Hunter, J ay J ohnson, David Moul and department head, Bill Dooley, are in charge of curriculum and coordinating ac- tivities for the department. While freshmen learn the basics of plants and animals in their required physi- cal and general science courses, upper- class students learn the periodic table of the elements. Students challenged them- selves in such advanced courses as physics and comparative anatomy. The science department planned many activities to interest students in science re- lated fields and to give kids a better under- standing of what theylve learned. Biology classes took their annual field trip to the zoo, while comparative anatomy and field biology classes went to KUls Museum of Natural History. Chemistry classes visited Wolf Creek Nuclear Power Plant and the aerospace classes shot off rockets at the end of the semester. Department head, Bill Dooley, reported that a science award was in the planning stages and 12 0f R-Pls best science stu- dents were entered in the Science Knowl- edge Bowl at Rockhurst College. In addition, part of the new construction will add to the Science Department. iiIt will give the department the space we need. Teachers will be able to prepare bet- ter and the design is better than the old wing. Students will enjoy classes more with the new design? said Mr. Dooley. This year, physical science classes used the computer more than ever before and plans continue for increased use of them. It is obvious that as R-P grows, the sci- ence department does too.
