K.. A Chip checks, points out the mistakes, and explains the correct procedure, to Beverly and Ralph who are performing a water distillation experiment. This goes on in the Science laboratory. Science courses offered this year were biology, chemis- try, and physics in the upper grades and general science in the lower grades. Biology students concentrated on how and why living things work as they do. Biology comprised the study of everything from the giant ferns of the coal agen to many species of animals, including man. In chemistry, the chemical composition of matter was studied. To fully understand how the elements unite to form compounds, the chemistry classes did lab work. Physics classes were concerned with what the physical make-up of matter is and how matter behaves. Small models of certain instruments were used to demonstrate how a water pump works or how to determine the ve- locity of a moving object. General science offered the eighth and ninth graders a course which gave a preview of the sciences to come later. It taught some of the basic principles of all sciences. The classes also did experiments to show how a doorbell, telephone, or telegraph works. Anyone taking any of the sciences could make a proj- ectv for the Regional Science fair held at the Spartanburg Memorial auditorium and sponsored by Wolford College.
