Headed by Mr. Thomas Scott, science department chairman, Roosevelt ' s eight member science facuhy helped students explore the facts behind scientific c(m- cepts and developments. Strange and confusing laboratory lan- guage and apparatus gradually became a familiar part of the science pupiPs life, helping him to explore the whys and hows of scientific principles. Biology students learned ab(»ut life processes while those pupils who took physics pursued laws of m( tion or forces of gravity. I sing their pre-requisite courses of math and physics as a study background, chemistry novices investigated the basic- reactions of all matter. Three types of I. ah partner?
