1. Elementary exhibits cience Fair Biology, the science of life, offers many diverse career opportunities in its two categories, plant science or botany, and animal science or zoology. Plant science includes a great many specialties and fields of interest. Animal science, too, has its specialties and fields of interest. Occupatnions in zoology may be n the broad fields of research, N'hing, or business. Specific , Ms in these fields include directors or curators of zoos or museums, specialists in biological supply houses which deal in animals and equipment, workers testing the effects of foods and drugs upon animals, and librarians, secretaries, editors, and writers who also are required to have specific training in the field of zoology. Opportunities for professional occupations are found in medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. The teaching of biology, whether on the secondary school or college level, is one of the • most stimulating and rewarding of the occupations in the field. I Very few teaching specialties evoke the interest of the student as does the study of life. A great many industrial philanthrope, and academic foundations have established grants for furtherance of research. As a rafrult of these grants a great fyy zoologists engaged in teaching are also conducting research. In addition to work 3. Winners of science fair awards: Brian Wickert, Jeff Deaver, and Marty Norton done in universities, research is carried on by museums and by industrial concerns. Companies producing such products as insecticides, oil, and food products maintain large staffs of researchers in biology. In addition to the study and practice of human and animal medicine, there are a great many fields closely allied to medicine which require the skill of the biologist. Some of these are physiology, bacteriology, genetics, biochemistry, biophysics and pharmacology. Many biologists work for national and local governments. Going into any field of biology may mean employment by different agencies of the U.S. government. Some of these would be like the Department of Agriculture, 2. Sr. High exhibits Health, Education, Welfare, etc. Hospitals ahve biologists on their staffs. So, in becoming just a biologist you may in several ways improve the quality of life for man or animals. Some of these ways might be that you could improve agricultural business or quality of the gooods made in some way. Also, the health of the crippled, old, and those who have unbeatable disease may be helped in the future. The amount of education of science could be improved to, by getting more teachers. So, overall I believe that science classes could end up helping in many different ways if used wisely-
