Show 36 WEBER STAKE ACADEMY, PHYSICAL SCIENCE Physics.A study of elementary mechanics and the phenomena of sound, light, heat, magnetism, and electricity. Numerous lecture table experiments are per-formed to illustrate the principles studied. Each student is required to work two hours per week in the laboratory, and to keep a note book in which the observations and results must be tabulated. Three hours recitation and two hours laboratory work per week throughout the year. Millikan and Gale's First Course in Physics and Millikan's Laboratory Manual. General Chemistry.The fundamental theories of general chemistry and the non-metallic and more common metallic elements are studied; the balancing of equations, the solving of problems, and the practical applications of chemistry will receive considerable attention. Three hours recitation and two hours laboratory work per week throughout the year. Newell's Descriptive Chemistry. OGDEN, UTAH. 37 BIOLOGY Botany.Structure, growth, assimilation, reproduction, and adaptations to environment of the flowering plants. Moulds, mosses, fungi, ferns, and other common flowerless plants will receive some attention. Laboratory work and collateral reading. Frequent field trips are taken during the latter part of the course. Three hours per week throughout the year. Coulter's Plant Structures. Coulter's Plants and Vines, text book for reference. Zoology.Structure, development, reproduction and distribution of the more common animals, with some attention to local fauna. Typical examples of the different sub-kingdoms are dissected and studied in detail. Collection and preservation of specimens. Carefully prepared notes and sketches will characterize the laboratory work. Five hours per week first half year. Text: Linville & Kelly. Physiology.The nervous system, the organs of the special senses, digestion, assimilation, circulation, and the effects of stimulants, receive special attention. Laboratory work is required throughout the course. Microscopical, slides, skeletons and charts are used to illustrate the subject. Five hours per week during the second semester. Text: Colton's Descriptive and Experimental Physiology with collateral reading. |
