It took them all week, but a team of five students in the Biological Innovation class came up with a conceptual, working model of a cardio-pulmonary system, using materials they could find in the school.

Wednesday night, science program students at Lake Roosevelt High School stood by exhibits offering to explain some complex subjects they've been learning lately, and those questioned by The Star seemed to know their stuff.

The exhibit, held in conjunction with a meal and program by the Johnson O'Mally Indian Education committee, attracted about 60 people to learn about those programs. As a bonus, a Boy Scouts troop set up a booth and gained several interested youth.

Cub scouts seemed to dominate a mock murder scene in a stairwell, set up with clues around a taped body outline, part of a course that uses forensic medical mystery to interest kids in the sciences.

The meal was enjoyed by many. The gathering in the open spaces provided by the school complex's two cafeterias seemed to serve the purpose well, several observed.
