Scientists Try Untangling A little of the new, a lot of the old applied well to the science courses of advanced biology, chemistry, and physics. New discoveries to be taught come slowly and new methods of teaching and new equipment come even slower. This year, science classes went to the science symposiums at indiana University Southeast. The students piled onto the old athletic bus, driven by Mr. Mosely, and traveled to the new campus in New Albany. Discussions on the coming of the Comet Kahotek were prevalent during the winter months and students anxiously awaited a sight of the comet. The advanced biology class worked with the usual dissections of worms, frogs, and a pig or a cat. The chemistry classes performed many types of experiments but lacked a water distillation device for the first semester. A trip to the Colgate Plant in Clarksville was taken by the classes. Knowledge of both math and science-history is needed to understand the complications of Chemistry. Physics, on the other hand, is the highest science class in school and chemistry is needed before one could even begin to work in this class. During the school year, the class studied the atomic structure, radiation, and looked into a bit of astronomy. TOP: Seriously investigating the various organisrns of different animals are: S. Conner, D. Hawkins, L. Haas, M. Karouz, R. Dold, D. Bolly, and J. Rittman. ABOVE: The enlarged parts of the flower are viewed by B. Martin, G. McRae, B. Richmond, D. Huckle- berry, S. Hicks, A. Bede , and J. Sturgis.
