Science Courses
Biology
This course is an introduction to general biology and to the processes of scientific inquiry and thinking. It will include the fundamental principles of living organisms including physical and chemical properties of life, cellular organization and function, the transfer of energy through metabolic systems, cellular reproduction, the classification of living things, the six kingdoms of life will be examined. The main focus is to present biological information in an understandable and straight forward way that will capture the students' interest dealing with up to date principles and concepts.
Chemistry
This course adheres closely to standards for the teaching of chemistry. It emphasizes the mathematical, theoretical and experimental basis of modern chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the use of theoretical and mathematical concepts to explain and predict chemical behavior.
Earth and Space Science
This introductory Earth Science course incorporates the body of knowledge and facts accumulated from people's observations of the Earth around them and the skies above them. This observed information of the earth has evolved over centuries into the branch of science known as earth science. Earth science has several different branches of study: the solid earth (geology); the earth's waters (hydrology and oceanography); the earth's atmosphere (meteorology); and the universe beyond earth (astronomy). Using careful observation and experimentation, students will learn to effectively analyze and evaluate the earth's natural phenomena and their causes, as well as, its relationship in the universe by focusing on the four major areas of study.
Physical Science
Physical science is the introductory course to high school science courses and beyond. Students will expand on their middle science experiences to prepare them for biology, chemistry, and physics. This course will emphasize scientific thinking as a way of understanding the natural phenomenon that surrounds us. In addition, there will be both simulated and real world laboratory experiences to further expand student's scientific horizons.
Physics
The goal of physics is to describe the physical world using a small number of basic assumptions, concepts, and equations. In this course, emphasis is placed on relating physics to the everyday world. Students explore the concepts involved with motion in one- and two-dimensions, forces, work and energy, momentum and collisions, circular motion and gravitation.
