WITH STRINGS FOR ARTERIES, cement-type blocks for organs and styrofoam for a body, these pupils at Everglades Elementary School made "Scientific Sam." Thats what they call their replica of the human body. Julian Kreisberg and Sheldon Stevens, bottom row, left to right, and Larry Millstein and Raymond Shenfield, left to right and standing on a shelf, recently studied about the human body in class with teacher Gertrude Parks. So, during a recent week end, they took time out from their basketball game or matinee movie to spend extra time doing this project. Sammy stands about 6 feet tall, has blue strings for arteries, red strings for veins, and organs ranging from the brain to the little intestine.
