An inquiring mind is necessary to under- stand the science of chemistry. With preci- sion and accuracy, Senior Gene Tarkington observes the temperature of boiling water. Experiments were used to develop reason- ing and were conducted once a week. Bruce Baldwin Allen Gardner Jan Lewis Nlarion Magill Bruce Baldwin - chemistryp B.S.

It is a source of progress in the world we live in. The science program at Saguaro offers courses in several phases of this field. The study of life science is introduced in the biology and hu- man physiology classes. A widely selected course, chemistry, works on four levels, with main emphasis on the mole concept. The physical science program studies astronomy, geology, electricity, weather, light, and sound in detail. Newly formed in the Science Department is an accelerated physics program, deal- ing mainly with the study of na- ture. A special lab course in biology is also offered. The Science Depart- ment endeavored to get more courses that met the investigation approach and student participation. The Science Department faculty consists of ten instructors. lVlore guest speakers and field trips have been planned for the future.
