Beyond the Microscope The curriculum of the Science Department includes many diverse topics, taught in an unusual way. For students with an interest in biology, an advanced biology course is offered which enables students to obtain a solid background in biology. The course includes a seminar unit in which the students conduct class themselves and present oral reports on-different aspects of the blood. A unit on plant physiology in which the students have the opportunity to work independently of each other is also included. A detailed study of genetics is another area covered by the course. In this unit, the students were amazed by the results they obtained from the breeding of fruit flies. Aside from the normal classwork, students also participated in the statewide Science Day. Stu- dents from many high schools were tested in chem- istry, biology or physics, and the winners in each category were eligible for monetary awards. With concentration, Dave Pietrulewicz completes a successful chemistry experiment. Top: This group of chemistry students gets a few hints for their lab from Mrs. Arthur. Above: With help from Mr. Bordak. Derryl Jarvis begins calculating his physics problems. 26
