In this experiment‚ we will grow two separate plants‚ one with classical music‚ and another with no music at all. The soil used will be the same in order for the outcome to be unbiased. The bean seed will be grown over a period of 6 weeks. Bean seeds are an easy plant to grow‚ and only require sunlight‚ warmth‚ soil and water. That is why we chose to grow it. The characteristics of the bean plant made it an easy

Goetz‚ the Clinical Coordinator for Radiation Therapy at CCBC‚ came to Eastern Technical High School to speak with the Allied Health students about the Radiation Therapy program and profession. Radiation Therapists (RT) use high power x-rays to treat tumors and keloids. Therapy only treats the site of disease contrary to chemotherapy‚ which goes directly into the bloodstream and kills cells all over the body.
