IKgffiKDS Directed by Gus Dearolph, the Science Department at Woodward Academy en- courages students to develop their investiga- tive skills and abilities to use rational thought through experimentation. Students begin the study of science in kindergarten with the exploration in the realm of the five senses. Beginning in the Middle School, stu- dents are introduced to concepts and theor- ies through actual experiments in the labora- tory. In the Upper School students are re- quired to take a year of biology and chemis- try along with another year of physics, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, earth and space science or oceanography. With such a wide range of courses, the science depart- ment is able to supply the student with a better understanding of the world around him and the role of science in society. As students attain the goals established by the department, they form a firm scientific back- ground to prepare for further study of col- lege science. ;.
