The importance of a knowledge of science is demonstrated every- day as we view the rapid advance in technology. The objective of the Science Department was to provide the students of Red Bank Regional High School an opportunity to study the values and insights that the specific sciences could offer. The emphasis in the Science Department this year was on experimenting with innovative methods to determine their possible incorporation in the new school’s Curriculum. The improved cur- riculum was designed to provide a greater feeling of curiosity into the scientific concepts and the pursuance of research methods. By developing an attitude of scientific curiosity and a spirit of academic competition, the students were able to develop through the Science program an ability to excel to their maximum and develop their intellectual potentials. Programs such as these were designed to aid the education, social and the emotional development of each student and to prepare them for our rapidly changing soci- ety. 31

Calculus by Learning Packets? In preparation for the move to an open class situa- tion in the future, some Algebra II classes field tested a new program of learning packages. These individu- alized courses were distributed by Holt, Rinehart and Winston and have not yet gone into publication. Comments, opinions, even suggestions were given to the publisher in order to improve the program. The current materials will be combined with the best sug- gestions, producing an improved math course. This finalized program will then be published and will reflect the goals and ideas of Red Bank Regional’s Math Department. Nancy Charron works on a learning package in Math.
