Science...


Course Number 5114, Integrated Science

A lecture/laboratory introduction to the principles of chemistry, physics, and earth and space science.

Course Number 5112, Biology

A lecture/laboratory course covering the basic concepts of taxonomy, cell biology, genetics, evolution, botany, invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, and ecology. 

Course Number 5321, AP Biology

An in-depth lecture/laboratory examination of the topics introduced in Biology, including molecular and cell biology, genetics and evolution, population biology and ecosystem dynamics, and the diversity in structure and function in the six kingdoms of living things. This college-level course prepares students for the AP Biology examination, by which students may qualify for college level credit.

Course Number 5223, Anatomy and Physiology

An in-depth lecture/laboratory examination of the structure and function of all human body systems. This course provides the student with an advanced knowledge of human health and is an elective of special interest to students considering any health-care field.

Course Number 5312, Chemistry

An examination of the following topics in Chemistry: nomenclature, atomic theory, moles, periodic law, bonding, balancing equations, stoichiometry, gas laws, acid-base theory, solutions, equilibrium, and nuclear reactions. 

Course Number 5335, Chemistry in the Community

An examination of core concepts of chemistry with key societal issues.  Small-scale labs are an important part of this course; mathematical applications are minimal.

Course Number 5412, Physics

A lecture/laboratory course covering a review of the metric system, and a study of forces, motion, kinetic and potential energy, vector analysis, work, thermal energy, wave characteristics, and static electricity.

Course Number 5411, AP Physics

An accelerated course using the math concepts of algebra and trigonometry in an intensive study of kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, conservation laws in classical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrostatics, electric circuits, magnetism, waves and optics, and modern physics. This course prepares the student who is especially interested in physical science, mathematics, and/or engineering for the AP Physics B examination, by which college credit may be earned.
