New science program

reflects modern concepts

This year's science program reflected the state–

wide transition to a new syllabus. Begun primarily

in the advanced classes, the curriculum change based

the study of science more on theory and less on prac–

tical application.

ew textbooks and improved equipment accom–

panied the advanced subject matter. The interrela–

tionship of the three major scientific fields was an

important aspect of the new syllabus.

Biology students concentrated more on cellular

function and evolution of life from inorganic com–

pounds. Quantum theory and nuclear chemistry were

introduced in chemistry classes to acquaint students

with the concepts of physics.

Regents examinations based on the new syllabus

gauged the students progress in mastering the con–

cepts and theories.
