Eclipse and Physics Olympics Highlight Year Below: Life science students Debbie Kessler, Kevin McArtor, Lisa Witte, Michelle Kelchen, Lori Kessler, and Scott Wieser learn CPR. Below: Denise Serbousek, Mike Scheetz, Far Rachelle Hartman, Jerry Hemphill, Aaron Fisher, Margo Hursh, Mr. Osland, Mr. Steine, DeWayne Heintz, and Andy Grommon watch the eclipse from the Biology room . There are six science classes. They It' are: Biology which is the study of plant and animal life. for college bound students. ssuggested Life Science is similar to biology, but the depth of understanding is less. Chemistry is mostly a college prep class. It involves terminology and applied math in solutions for chemistry problems. Physics gives a better understanding of physical laws and principals and their application in life. Students can participate in the Physics Olympics. It' s the 2nd year for this area and the 1st for the state . Students compete in areas such as paper airplane throwing, slow bike riding, and bridge building. This year it was held at Coe. Jim Booth got 1st place for his bridge. Advanced Science is spent researching a topic and giving oral presentations; areas of interest to stu - dents are also covered . Science, Society, and the Future studies environments, how science affects us, and how to become involved in changes of the future. There are nine math classes. They are: Basic Mathematics which is a re - fresher of basic math. Consumer Math gives a better understanding of the math used every day and its use in solving simple problems. Self Paced Math is designed on an individual self paced basis. Computer Science is mostly a survey of the capabilities of computers and their im - pact on society .Geometry develops A understanding of basic properties of surfaces, points, lines, and solids. Algebra II reviews algebra and geometry, and develops a deeper underr standing of algebra l aws. Trigonometry is the study of linear and quadratic equations, also the study of basic definitions and rela® tionships of trigonometry. Pre-Calculus ties together the other math courses and the student is introduced to basic Analytic Geometry.
