Each student took a test which was processed by a com- puter at the University of Buffalo and re- turned to students to show them their weak spots in general knowledge of United States History. Students then worked for self-improvement and were retested. Groups went to the County Court to see law in action. Interest in the world situa- tion was maintained through the use of current event papers, extra credit reports, and class discussion. Enriched classes used college level material in American History. Film strips, movies, and student reports helped convey historical ideas. Linda Lisle American History I classes studied the constitution from material furnished by the University of Buffalo, Students were amused as they viewed the length of the report. Michael DiNardo and Marie Sheldon point out the same place on the globe and the map. Map study is an integral part of social studies. Social Studies can be fun, too. Here Rick Anderson is answering questions by locating the geographical point ot the incident on the map. If the answer is correct, lights will gIow and a huge roar of approval is sounded by the class. 11

Royalton- Hartland is one of the few schools chosen by New York State to use a new approach to teaching chemistry. This involves studying such topics as thermodynamics, chemical kinetics and electro-chemistry. Next year this method will he mandatory in all New York State schools. Through the New York State College at Brockport a group of eighth graders participated in a government-sponsored program called Programmed Instruction. New equipment in Room 309 aided the instruction in physics. Jerome Middione I , Mr. Koenig's junior high science class participated in an experimental program on Work and Energy from Brockport State University College. Here students are seen working on their individual projects. ln physics, Donna Schultz, Richard Howe, Mr. McKinney and Marcia Fry work on a laboratory experiment concerning heat energy being transferred from a warm object to a cooler one. Chemistry students are involved in an experiment preparing bromine, one of the group of halogens. 13
