W h e r e S c i e n t i s t s M a k e S t a r tMan has been trying to solve masses of iron brought near the

the riddles of the universe since compass.the dawn of history. In modem times, w ith the development of special services and methods, he has been able to acquire an enor­mous fund of information. There r^hains a broad area of darkness into which the light of science has not yet penetrated. I t is under­standable that, despite all of its spectacular ach iev^en ts,. science has been unable to solve many complex m ysteries of sky and eaiili. In Fleischmanns high school it is believed th a t the answer may be w ith the students taking beginning science courses in school today.

The Im pact of S<denoeScience is taught through ex­

perim ental procedures. Learning should come w ith experience. M aterials, equipment, and com- mimity resources are us&d through a direct problem approach a t Fleischmanns.

Four general objectives sum­marize the aspects of science teaching:

1. To develop science concepts. Science is an accumulation of knowledge. Eacfi fact can be sup­ported by evidence. The evidence has been accumulated through the work of scientists, A student m ust have some science concepts to know about the Avorld in which he lives.

2. To learn to use the science concepts. Science concepts are used to describe man’s environ­ment. Since he is a part of his environment he can use science to describe him self.' Knowledge of science brings about an imder- standing of current happenings in the world.

3. To leam to use the scientific method of problem solving. Prob­lem solving is achieved when a student learns to recognize and sta te a problem, to gather in­formation, to interpret inftjrma- tion, and to form his conclusions on the basis of the evidence he has collected.

.4. To develop scientific a tti­tudes. An attitude is a belief th a t is so strong th a t an individual acts upon it. A statem ent in science m ust be supported by evi­dence. Students m ust have ex­periences in science which prove th a t this attitude is useful and desirable. ^

G roi^ E^q^rtanents The general pattern used in

science, is the unit plan. An ex­ample of the use of the unit plan is in the Fleisdm ianns high school e i^ th grade science idass', The unit is '‘Magnets a t Wcwk.’* I t is diirided bito sevend proUems. The students vifork in, small grtfups. Thomas Ballard, Richard Finch, Leland Johns<Hi, Anna McAdams and E^nily Van Valkenburgh are to tin g to determ ine the objects attracted by a magnet. They will note general characteristics of m aterials a ttracted to magnets.

In a com er of the science room Steven Brannen, K eith Johnson, Georgianna Squires and Richard Van Valkenburgh are also working w ith magnets. Their problem is to determ ine the attraction and repulsion of the different poles and combinations of poles.

W ith a slight deflection 15 de­grees of m agnetic north Elwin Bushnell, Paul Johnson, Larry Tait, and B arbara Todd are m ak­ing a compass. The group is test­ing m agnetic deflections due to

Magnets and ElectricityW ithin a strw ig magnetic field

Clyde Barber, Roy F inch,. Vivian Salzer and William Todd are mak­ing magnetic patterns with the aid of iron filings. The group note the magnetic field surround­ing magnets.

In a maze of insulated wire, dry 'cells, push button, and com­pass Jean Ballard, Doug^ds Faulk­ner, Donald Kelder and Joyce Kelly are making and testing an electromagnet.

, I t is probably not essential th a t a citizen have a complete under­standing of the operation of his television, radio, or refrigerator motor. I t is helpful for the house­wife, the truck driver, the repair man and the science teacher to underetend some of the elemen­tary principles .ot the operation of devices in daily use. Experi­ences with m agnets and electro­magnets represent a beginning step in this knowledge.

Develi^Mnent of IdeasIn the ninth grade science

course projects are being devel­oped by the students. This type of work allows for individual ex­pression and development of scientific ideas. Linda Kelly and Carol Todd are nmking models of the Sim , earth and moon. Through this project space relationships can be vividly demonstrated. An­other intricate device is a solar heater made by Gary Tait. S m a ll quantities of w ater can be heated with this.

The boys are developing a model of an iron lung. Sylvia Beers and Shirley Ellis are gathering m a­terials and information for a booklet on the solar system. Carole Myers is collecting information on rocketry, missiles and satellites for

booklet. Virginia Kelly is pre­paring solutions for the develop­m ent of crystals.

Interpretation of EnvironmentIn the general science coursed

the instruction is concerned pri­m arily w ith the observation and interpretation of the common phenomena of the environment. The science instruction is centered around the m aterials which seem im portant for everyday living.

Search for Knowledge

In the advanced courses the student furthers his search of broader knowledge.

Eaulh Science offers to the stu ­dent a w ealth of inform ation which is of immediate use and of perm anent value. I ts (pont^t is d ^ te d to ^ student’s everyday life. In so jfar as possible^, em-' phasis is ^idajsed on the home «n- \'ironm ent. This gives reality^ to the work because the student’s own observations and experiences are utilized. Travel becomes more enjoyable and m eanin^ul. Under­standing of the physical features of the earth is of frequent practi­cal use in such occupations as forestry, fanning, navigation and aviation. I t 'i s of particular value in providing information and ex­periences th a t frequently result in freeing the student from com­mon superstitions. Astrology and planting crops a t the tim e of full moon still have many followers. E arth science provides for the scientific use of the imagination, since many phenomena are be­yond the possibility of laboratory experiment or proof by direct ob­

servation. Many changes take place too slowly to be observed within the scope of an individual lifetime.

Projects n iu stra te St^dyThe earth science, students are

developing individual projects in Rddition to organized work. Tliis type of work involves extensive reading and study, problem solv­ing, and experimentation. Time is made available for demonstra­tions and reports, thereby sharing investigations with the class.\ An operating model of a gey­ser has hieen constructed by Ridi- ard Blish. This laboratory model will illustrate the gravity flow of w ater, the heating of this w ater over lava beds, and release of internal w ater forced through an opening in the earth’s c ru s t This geyser forces w ater ^ e r a l feet into the a ir and repeats the op­eration a t frequent intervals.

The construction of a demon­stration volcano is the w ork-of John Todd. This model is made of plaster of paris. I t will give the appearance of a volcano erupting when in operation.

Biver; Growth and De<dineA sand table has been construct­

ed by Sam Fairlie. I t is a large box nearly filled w ith sandy soil. The process of how a river erodes the land and transports rock and soil m ay be dem onstrated with the aid of a wiftering can.

Next in view are models of rivers by Diane Bouton and Ron­ald Morse. These models are made of clay and concrete mount­ed on wood. The physical ifea- tures of river growth and develop­m ent become more realistic. These models provide the class with re­lief maps for future use.

Edward C raft has map, card­board, pencil, glue and scissors to construct the irregularities of Monka Hill, Emoiy Brook and the surrounding area.

I t is necessary for students to develop a ^ e a r imderstanding of maps. This is particularly true with reJpect to contour maps. The construction of relief maps is of coiuiderable value in helping the student visualize the land sur­face represented by a contour map. This type of work aids in showing relationships of a variety of land forms like mountains, val­leys, rivers and lakes.

signed to stim ulate the interest of s tu d e n t in the chonical en­vironment- following g ^ - eral<j^jectij^e% should b|e adilevefd in a tourge. (This lis t is tor no means dbinplete.)

Basic Study Courses Several basic units of study in

a first-year chemistry course are: "Looking a t the Work of the C h e m i s t ” ; "Solutions” ; “The Atomic S tructure of M atter” ; “The Language and M athematics of Chemistry” ; “M etals” ; "Adds” ; "Bases and Salts"; "Nuclear En­ergy” ; and "Organic Chemistry.”

Laboratory work forms an im­portant p art of the advanced wience courses. I t affords a means of acquiring knowledge firsthand. I t is directly related^ to tiie classroom discussion and study. This work cultivates the power of accurate observation and d a rity of thought and ex- pressioA. The working of experi­ments develops in the student a training in following directions and an accuracy in observation. He learns to use the data ob­tained, to draw correct deduc­tions. Laboratory experiments awaken investigational interest in the minds of the students. Con­stan t application of the prindples learned in the experiments stiniu- lates the students toward solving everyday problems.

Careers In Sdence Students may be encouraged to

choose and pursue careers in a science through practical activi­ties in the physical, biological and chemical fields. Opportuni­ties are numerous for students with sincere interest and promis­ing ability. Progress depends on proper planning, execution and development of able students to high levels of achievement.
