?MARSHALL, HAROLD 7:. Oshkosh State Teachers1 College, Ph.B Ph. K. University of Y sconsin. 7th t: 3th Grade Science, Conservation Cltib. CHEMISTRY SCIENCE PHYSICS •x leva::, Gladys E.S., M.A. Northwestern Univorsity. Chemistry, Natural Science I II, Photo Club, Sophomore Sponsor. The Natural Science classes taught by Mrs. Leman have learned of their environment. The Natural Science I classes were taught on units such as insects, birds, animals and natural resources. The Natural Science II classes studied the complexity of development and function from the simplest one-celled animal to man himself. Both classes had field trip3, movies, and used living and preserved specimens to help with their study. The chemistry students were given knowledge of the fundamental elements and their reactions. This knowledge was obtained by experiments, all done before any book work, therefore giving the students the characteristic reaction from first hand experience. Projects and visual aids were used also. The Junior High Science classes, under Mr. Marshall studied general science. Demonstrations were used mostly diring this subject.
