I think that the science teach- ers feel encouraged that our ef- forts are being recognized. — Mr. Grissom A During a chemistry lab. Marc Crawford measures the volume of a drop of oleic acid. Throughout the year, many experiments were conducted so that the students could learn, in detail, more about the won- derful world of science. 4l Gee, isn ' t this fun!! Jerry Peck exclaims to his lab partner, Myron Butler. Mr. Grissom is nationally recognized for his ability to combine chemistry with fun, producing an excellent environment for learn- ing.

The Earth Sci- ence program, headed by Mr. Lindahl, and the Chemistry Program, directed by Mr. Grissom, offer students the op- portunity to enjoy science in a cre- ative and stimulating manner. Our programs received recogni- tion in the Science Search for Excel- lence, Grissom explained. There was one contest for Earth Science, Chemistry, and Energy Education. Saddleback got two out of three in the whole state. Teacher involvement is a contribut- ing factor to the achievement of these honors, Grissom said. I think that the awards were given because of the in- volvement of all our science teachers in preparing students to succeed in science, he said. We also have pro- grams that help all students, not just college prep, succeed. The program conducted last year with elementary school students also aided the high ratings. Elementary students came to Saddleback and per- formed a chemistry experiment with the chemistry students, added Gris- som. The chemistry studen ts helped the elementary students understand what they were working on. Also, the earth science students went to the elementary school to perform experi- ments. This statewide recognition not only reflects the efforts of the science de- partment alone, but that of the entire school. It is an honor for our science department, but also something the rest of the school should share, Gris- som reflected. None of us can suc- ceed without the help of others. v Chemistry is not all microscopes and chemical reactions realizes Dana Jackson as she laughs at Mr. Grissom ' s jovial remarks. 230 Gomez KawQuchi
