SCIENCE The Search Never Ends Continued experimentation in curriculum marked the South Eugene science department under the direction of Dr. Dirk Ten Brinke. In addition to regular biol- ogy, chemistry and physics, BSCS, CHEMS and PSSC were offered, opening wider doors of learning to advanced students in the field. Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, in its third year at South, stressed direct observation and experi- mentation. Chemistry Education Materials Study was based on the inductive approach, emphasizing chem- ical principles rather than descriptive chemistry. Supported by the National Science Foundation, Phys- ical Science Study Committee courses centered on the basic conflicts between the particle and wave theories of light. Evening lab sessions were conducted weekly at which students had an opportunity to catch up on unlin- ished assignments or experiment with new topics of interest. Students utilized equipment ranging from test tubes to stroboscopes in their work.
