ThcG-15 (and friends) MATHEMATICS Perhaps the most exciting recent event in the Math Department has been the acquisition of a G-15 Computer. All Upper School students will learn to program and operate the machine. Computer programming has become part of every Upper School math class, and several Ijower School classes. Special Computer-Oriented Math Classes are being conducted for selected juniors and seniors. SMSG math is now being used in grades 4-10. Next year it will also lx? used in grade 11, and to a lesser extent in grade 12. The Minnemasi materials are now being used in Kindergarten and 1st grade. Next year the material will also be used in grade 2. The Minnemast project will move through the grades one year at a time, and will eventually replace the SMSG Math in the Lower School. The novelty of the “modern math has disappeared, but the faculty and students have retained their original excitement and interest. 26 Problems, problems, problems.

SCIENCE Having already incorporated the PSSC and CHEM STUDY programs, Breck School further enriched its science curriculum with the addition of the BSCS materials. This program was begun in September by Mr. Nielsen, who had attended a rigorous NSF summer institute at the University of Iowa. The general rationale of the new biology” is to present science as a process of inquiry rather than as a statement of facts and conclusions. Laboratory work, stressing how theories have meaning to apparently unrelated facts, becomes an integral part of the course. New equipment purchased for this program included ten Bausch 8c Lomb Stereozoom microscopes with illuminators, fourteen A-O Spencer compound microscopes, four new balances, a centrifuge, and an additional supply of chemicals, glassware, and miscellaneous items. Another new feature of the school curriculum was the introduction of Earth Science in the eighth and ninth grades. This course, which involves astronomy, meteorology, and geology, was taught by Mr. Nielsen and Mr. Nicklcs. In the seventh grade Mrs. Petersen organized a new class in the Science of Living Things. Even on the Lower School level the curriculum changed to keep in touch with the ever-changing ideas of science. The Minne-masi program was introduced in Kindergarten-First Grade and a new science room was provided. Ixt’s see, sugar and spice . . . 28
