Physics is designed to study matter and energy and their interactions. Fundamental concepts in the areas of mechanics, light, sound, heat, electricity, magnetism and nuclear phenomena are introduced. Students acquire information using the senses and instrumentation. Observations of laws of force and motion, the nature of light, wave phenomena, and properties of electricity and magnetism are integral components of the course. Student investigations emphasize accurate observations, collection of d...
Chemistry is the study of the structure, composition, and behavior of matter and emphasizes the investigation of matter, its interactions, and the factors affecting the interactions. A laboratory oriented course that stresses the observation of matter and its behavior, classification of matter, communication of data, measurement of chemical quantities, predictions of chemical phenomena, and manipulation of chemical investigations. Students acquire data by using their senses and instrumentation. ...
Biology is the study of the structure, growth and function of the life systems of selected organisms. The study will encompass historical contributions to biological concepts; energy production, transfer, and use in living systems; and the inter-relatedness of organisms with each other and their environments. Students acquire data using their senses and instrumentation. Observations are made of living organisms in the environment, prepared specimens, various ecosystems, and inherited traits. Stu...
This course is a scientific exploration of the human place in the universe. We study the origin and history of the Universe and the formation of the Earth and the solar system. We compare the Earth's properties with those of the other planets and explore how the heavens have influenced human thought and action. This course includes study of the properties of light and matter and the tools astronomers use to measure radiation from celestial sources. The course also covers exciting contempora...
