Math And Science Computer Concepts The Math and Science departments chal- lenged students by traditional teaching methods and new exciting ideas into scientific inquiry. Through an upgraded laboratory pro- gram the department received a long await- ed shot in the arm which helped to beef up these investigative studies. The Math depart- ment this year continued its climb to excel- lence by offering computer expertise to grades K-12. One aim of the department is to interface the computer with scientific instru- ments to enhance both science and math skills. It is hoped that the bonds between these two studies will grow stronger. 1. Mr. Ingino and Ren6e Feeler working on a chemistry problem. 2.
