So This is What Science is All About Students found that science classes offer more than just reading and tests - labs were an important and exciting part of all the sci- ences. The students got to see what they had learned and read about. The class enrollment was way up, com- mented Nlr. Owczarzak, department head, who has taught science for twelve years. There is a variety of things to do in science. In zooiogy, students learn of the anatomy, phy- siology and ecology of animals, by reading and disecting.
