DEPARTME T The Science Department centers its instruction around our universe, living things, and the human body, and health. These facts are coupled with an understanding of matter and the changes it undergoes, sources and types of energy and machines, and modern inventions. Opportunities are given for learning basic principles. As the student studies, he becomes familiar with the funda- mental laws that all living things reproduce their kind and are interdependent. Taught in the classrooms and partic- ularly advanced in chemistry and physics are the principles that all matter is composed of elements and that both energy and matter can be changed from one forrn to another. Of course there are numerous opportunities to learn basic skills. In all classes laboratory work gives the student a chance to use science equipment for experimentation and proof. Formulas, too, become practical tools for learn- ing as they are found necessary for the solution of problems. Most important are the attitudes and methods instilled in the minds of the students. Through these, they learn a practical method of solution for any problem in life and are taught to realize the importance of forming sound indi- vidual conclusions from careful observation and research.
