Early science courses at Woodward introduce the concepts of matter, motion, and energy through direct student experience with microscopic bodies. Latter courses such as biology, chemistry, and physics develop tech- niques which allow the student to investigate not only in the classroom situation but also independently at home. ln all courses the students ability to think abstractly, to draw conclusions, and to design new experiments is further developed. Significant changes in the curriculum this year include courses in marine biology, geology, and project physics. Advanced Placement Chemistry was also offered again this year. 32fACADEMICS fi

The use of mathematics is not limited to the everyday experiences of buying goods, balancing check books, and following recipes. In a world of computers, space tech- nology, and architectural design, mathematics plays an increasingly important role. To better prepare the student, the mathematics department strives to develop within him the ability to use deductive and inductive reasoning to investigate, interpret, and make decisions regarding solutions. In order to communicate the language of mathe- matics with precision, the student obtains a more thorough understanding of graphs, equations, formulas, sets and their related functions. Woodward's excellent computer system is often used in the advanced courses. This year's addition of quarter elective courses in logic and mechani- cal drawing has further strengthened the department.
