Ninth graders once again required to take physical science i 3 -Q Q . .s Ne. 3 Utilizing textbooks and supplementary materials, the science department emphasized practical appli- cation of scientific principles. Courses in the de- partment remained basically the same as in the past years. Biology classes included a study of plant and ani- mal groups with emphasis on their ecological adap- tations. Students also dissected the earthworm and the frog to further their knowledge of anatomy. juniors interested in the field of chemistry took stoichiometry and aspects of solution. This course offered a study of the mole concept and its various applications. Ninth graders were required to take physical sci- ence. Students were introduced to the fundamen- tals of science, conversions from the English system to the metric system were used in labs and classwork. 1 - Kerri Hall, Abby Rabhan, and Karen Austin identify plants. 2- Lewis lones'takes the temperature of crystal formations. 3 - Danny Moyd demonstrates wave motion on a spring. 4- Melanie Phillips observes minute plant life forms with the use of a microscope.

.fi- Three AP courses prepare students for college sciences Striving to lessen the load of college courses in future years, students chose to take A.P. Chemistry, A.P. Biology or A.P. Physics in an effort to earn college credits. A.P. Chemistry students, instructed by Mrs. Margaret Reeves, studied mole ratios and molar values, set up ad- vanced equations and prepared labs on different aspects of Chemistry. In the A.P. Biology course, taught by Mrs. Joanne Hin- ton, detailed lectures combined with dissection of fetal pigs, cats, and sheep brains were included in the cur- riculum. Students interested in the field of physics took A.P. Physics which was instructed by Mrs. Sarah Manly. Stu- dents prepared projects to aid in the knowledge of the physics field. These courses helped to meet the demand in the area of science that colleges and universities have placed on stu- dents. Mrs. loanne Hinton Mrs. Sarah Manly Mrs. Ma rga ret Reeves -assi Science I 57
