ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE |
1 |
S |
Prerequisite: Biology |
| |
Explores the natural processes of the living and non-living world and the remedies needed for problems one may encounter in these worlds. Students learn to monitor the earth's activities, focus on the interrelationships involved in environmental issues, and then listen, discuss, and act on these issues. Students take part in extensive field/ lab work, computer simulations, and community involvement.

BIOLOGY |
1 |
S |
Physical Science |
| |
Students study ecology, cell structure, cellular biochemistry, DNA, genetics, energy pathways in plants and animals, and evolution. They explore these topics further in laboratory activities and projects.
| | 4153 |
CHEMISTRY |
1 |
S |
Prerequisite: Biology and Geometry for F and E. Biology and Algebra 2 for H or concurrent with Algebra 2. |
| |
Students learn modern concepts of chemistry in the lab. They study nomenclature, equation and formula writing, physical and chemical properties, the mole concept, and energy relationships. Students develop lab skills such as mass measurements, analysis of data and samples, synthesis of compounds, and model building.

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY |
1 |
S |
Prerequisite: Biology |
| |
This course covers a general overview of all body systems from the skin to the reproductive system. Labs and dissections will be used to reinforce physiological concepts. The extension level course is challenging, requires good memorizing skills, and a commitment to homework.
| | 4503 |
ZOOLOGY |
1 |
S |
Prerequisite: Biology |
| |
Explores animal evolution, animal classification, adaptation, and various aspects of animal physiology and comparative anatomy. Students investigate living and preserved animals and carry out laboratory activities which may include an insect collection, animal project, microscope labs, and selected dissections.

| | 4207 | CHEMISTRY 2 (H) | 1 | S | Prerequisite: Biology and Chemistry. | | |
Expands the student’s knowledge of chemistry to an understanding of concepts such as energy changes, reaction orders, equilibrium, entropy, basic organic chemistry, titration and acids/bases, making particular use of lab work. Students explore concepts associated with the SAT Subject Chemistry. This course is highly recommended for those who plan a college major in any of the science, health, or engineering fields.
| | 4357 | ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1 (H) | 1 | S | Prerequisite: Biology E or H | College Credit may be available | | Explores the structure and function of the human body, including biochemistry cell physiology, and histology. Through extensive lab exercises, computer simulations, and dissections students explore the anatomy and physiology of the skin, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. This is a challenging course for highly motivated students who have disciplined study skills.
| | 4407 | ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 2 (H) | 1 | S | Prerequisite: Completion of Anatomy & Physiology 1 at the Honor Level and. earning C or better grade. | College credit may be available | | Continues the exploration of anatomy and physiology with the student of the endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory and reproductive systems.
