S c I E N c E I 'Farmers' grow corn others I enjoy labs because they teach you a concept but are not boring, stated junior Jeff T. Kramer, physics student. Swinging weights around their heads, physics students experimented with centripetal force in one of many science labs. In AP biology hours were spent after school working on labs involving pro- teins, enzymes and cell division. Students became farmers who grew their own corn and onion root tips for use in later labs on genetics. One reason I took AP biology was to brush up on lab techniques that I plan to use in college, said senior Pam Drake. Meanwhile, human anatomy students used labs to help them understand how parts of the body work. - learn through trips Other students studied psychology, the science of mental processes and behavior. Students learned why and how people feel, think, and act, thus they learn the importance of com- munication. Group discussions gave students a chance to share ideas and beliefs. Psychology's so much fun and alot of work, but it's worth it. You learn not just about the subject but about other people also. It helps you grow, ex- plained senior Laura Franz. In marine biology students learned the basic concepts of oceanography. Each year the class takes a trip to the Texas coast to perform experiments they have studied in class. Man must learn how to live with our planet instead of forcing our planet to live with us, said teacher John Crary. The key to man's future survival lies in I love it because you see what you are on the inside, and that is impor- tant, said senior Cathy Mao. Italian exchange student Pamela Leonardi and junior Long Huynh compute rotations per minute for a force lab in physics. Science 3 Junior Jenny Martin practices the art of roping' during a physics lab. Anatomy students junior Steve lgnatin, and seniors Andy Gelfand, Kevin Kavanagh and Laurie Margulies examine the small intestine ofa rat. the use of the ocean's resources. - Suzanne Hartsell E E
