Environmental Science
Course No. 03003 - 1 Credit
$10.00 fee required.
This course integrates the study of many components of our environment, including the human impact on our planet. The course focus is on scientific inquiry, the physical world, the living environment, resource conservation, humans’ impact on the environment, and legal and civic responsibility.
Biology
Course No. 43100 - 1 Credit
Prerequisite: Environmental Science, $10.00 fee required.
In this course, students are introduced to major biological concepts within the construct of scientific investigation. Emphasis is placed on cellular structures, processes, and organization, metabolism, growth and development, evolution, classification, genetics, and introductory ecology. Students are expected to use the scientific method to discover scientific principles and to submit laboratory reports. There is an EOC SOL test for this course.
Biology (Honors)
Course No. 4310A- 1 Weighted Credit
Prerequisite: Environmental Science $10.00 fee required
This advanced biology course is rigorous, a fast paced course and explores in depth, biological concepts and the scientific process. Areas of study include the cells, biochemistry, genetics, classification, evolution, and ecology. Students are expected to be independent learners with good communication skills. Students are required to complete extensive laboratory work including an independent research project. There is an EOC SOL test for this course.
Biology II: Anatomy/Physiology
Course No. 43300 - 1 Credit
Prerequisite: Successfully completed Biology
$15 dollar fee required.
In this upper level science course, students will study the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Topics of study will include the structures and functions of various cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems.Students are expected to complete many group and individual projects which include presentations. There will be 3 organ dissections throughout the course including the brain, eye, and heart.
Earth Science
Course No. 42100 - 1 Credit
$5.00 fee required
This course involves a contemporary, interdisciplinary approach to the study of the earth, its hydrosphere, and its atmosphere. Topics discussed will be geology, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy. There is an EOC SOL for this course.
Biology II: Genetics
Course No. 46100- 1 Credit
Prerequisites: Successfully completed Biology.
$5.00 fee required
In this upper level science elective course, students will delve into both Mendelian, population and molecular genetics including cell division, mutations, chromosomal disorders, and evolution of traits.They will investigate new DNA technologies and discuss the ethical implications of these techniques including a gel electrophoresis simulation and multiple case studies. Students are expected to complete many group and individual projects which include presentations
Chemistry
Course No. 44100 - 1 Credit
Prerequisite: Sucessfully completed Biology and Algebra II or be currently enrolled in Algebra II.
$10.00 fee required.
Chemistry is a general introduction to the composition, structure, properties, and interactions of matter. The areas of primary concentration are (1) matter and its properties, (2) the structure of matter, (3) the relationship of energy to chemical changes, and (4) chemical reactions. There is an EOC SOL test for this course.
Physics
Course #45100, 1 Credit
Prerequisites: Successfully completed Algebra II or be currently enrolled in Algebra II; successfully completed Biology
$5.00 fee required.
This course emphasizes a more complex understanding of experimentation, the analysis of data, and the use of reasoning and logic to evaluate evidence. The use of mathematics, including algebra, inferential statistics, and trigonometry is important, but conceptual understanding of physical systems remains a primary concern. The course stresses the practical application of physics in other areas of science and technology and how physics affects our world. Students are required to submit written laboratory reports and to design and conduct research projects that are experimental in nature.
AP Biology
Course No. 44700- 1 Weighted Credit
Prerequisites: Successfully completed Biology Required Fee: $10
Curriculum for this course is governed by the AP College Board. Biology AP is an overview of the major principles and processes in the areas of molecular and cellular biology and organisms—population biology. AP Biology content and lab work compose 70-80% of the course, while 20-30% of the course is devoted to experimental research. Every student is required to complete a research project that is experimental in nature. The research project must be completed to receive credit for the AP course. Students are encouraged to take the Advanced Placement Examination administered by the College Board and may receive college credit for satisfactory scores.
