APPLIED BIOLOGY 10 Year
Applied Biology is a one-year biology course for students
not planning to pursue advanced science courses in high
school. The course emphasizes fundamental life processes
and their applications to everyday life. Additional
topics may include local ecology, careers, and
environmental issues. The course is a combination of
lecture/discussion, group work, and laboratory activities.
10020 GENERAL BIOLOGY 10 Year
General Biology deals with the study of living things. As
biology is the study of plants and animals, great
emphasis is attached to the fundamental life processes.
The course will progress from simple to complex views of
function, structure, and diversity in living things.
Students in this course will learn to know and understand
the concepts and principles of biology.
10080 HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY 11 12 Year
Prerequisites- C.P. Biology or General Biology and C.P.
Chemistry or General Chemistry or Chemistry Today
Study of structures and functions within the human body
systems will be emphasized in this course. The major
systems will be surveyed by means of lecture,
discussions, and laboratory sessions. This course is a
college preparatory class. Team dissection of a fetal pig
is required in the course. A $50 lab manual is required.
10143 HUMAN BIOLOGY 10 11 12 Sem.
Prerequisite - General Biology or C.P. Biology
Human Biology is a course designed for general biology
students who do not plan to be science majors, but who
are interested in obtaining specific knowledge about the
human body. An understanding of the major organ systems,
diseases, and current topics concerning health-related
issues will be accomplished through lecture, discussion,
labs, and various community resources. A student
completing this course will have a better understanding
of the human body and how it relates to nutrition,
exercise, sexuality, substance abuse, and disease.
10440 GENERAL PHYSICS 10 11 12 Year
Prerequisite - Algebra 1 and Biology
This physics course tailored to the student who wishes to
learn more about motion, mechanics, sound, light, heat,
electricity, and other topics in physics. Mathematics
will be used; however, a greater emphasis will be placed
on a conceptual understanding of the topics and phenomena
studies. The student's introduction to physics will
involve a mixture of readings,
Lectures, demonstrations and hands on experience in the
form of lab work and projects. Materials needed:
Scientific calculator.
10450 COLLEGE-PREPARATORY PHYSICS 10 11 12 Year
Prerequisite - Geometry and Biology and concurrent
enrollmnent in Algebra 2-Extendedor higher math course
This is a physics course tailored to the student who
aspires to a science-related career (engineering,
medicine, architecture, etc.). Emphasis will be placed on
relating the topics in physics (motion, sound, light, etc.)
mathematically. Lecture and class discussion will focus
on using mathematical relationships. A good understanding
of algebra and geometry is necessary for this course. A
scientific calculator is required for this course.
10480 CHEMISTRY TODAY 10 11 12 Year
Prerequisite - Biology
This is a concept based chemistry course applicable to
all students and designed to help students understand the
chemical basis of society. Goals of the course include
educating students to make more informed choices as
consumers and emphasizing practical applications of
chemistry to problems and solutions in society. The
course explores the chemistry of household and personal
products with students analyzing choices they have in
affecting the chemistry of their bodies and their lives.
The course examines issues of global concerns including
the impact of industry and technology on the planet.
10500 GENERAL CHEMISTRY 10 11 12 Year
Prerequisite - Algebra I and Biology
This course covers the fundamental concepts of chemistry.
Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, and
properties of substances and the changes they undergo.
The course includes the development of basic lab skills
as well as the theory and application of the scientific
method. A notebook and non-graphing calculator will be
required.
17150 SCIENCE I Semester
or 1 Year
Prerequisite - Active IEP Repeatable
The purpose of this course is to provide science
instruction tailored to students' individual needs.
Instruction will be designed in accordance with each
student's learning method, rate, level, and style.
Through an independent study format, students will learn
to relate science concepts to daily living.
