Physical Science (Freshman Level)
This first-year science course is designed for all academic students. The yearlong course introduces foundation concepts of physics and chemistry in a lecture and discussion format. Reinforcement is provided through demonstration and laboratory activities. The course begins with the principles of forces and motion, followed by the nature of electricity, light, and sound. This course concludes with a thorough study of basic chemistry. No prerequisites. 

General Biology (Sophomore Level)
This introductory one-year combination lecture and laboratory science course explores the fundamental concepts of biology. Topics of discussion include: Ecology, Taxonomy, Cell Biology, Genetics, DNA and Evolution. The course includes multiple laboratory exercises including a variety of zoological specimens. The handling of specimens is not required. Prerequisites: Physical Science or attained teacher and/or principal’s approval. Should run concurrent with Geometry. 

Anatomy and Physiology (Honors – Junior/Senior Level)
This class is an advanced course for continuing science students in their third and fourth year of study. The human anatomy is investigated from a cellular through system approach of the basic structure. Through the development of laboratory techniques, this information is incorporated into the functional aspects of human physiology. Prerequisites: Student must have completed General Biology and Chemistry with a “B” average or have attained teacher and/or principal’s approval. NOTE: Animal dissection is a mandatory component of this course syllabus. Students with moral objections to this activity should not take the course.

Environmental Biology (Junior/Senior Level)
This class is a one semester advanced elective offered in the spring semester for continuing science students in their third and fourth year of study. Students will examine the basic environmental components of the Earth and its ecosystems, compare how life and development may alter the characteristics of ecosystems, determine the societal and environmental effects of population growth, and investigate sociological and economical aspects in environmental regulations. The principles of sustainable agriculture will also be examined. Prerequisites: Students must have
successfully completed Physical Science and General Biology or have attained teacher and/or principal’s approval.

Honors Chemistry (Junior/Senior Level)
This class is a two-semester elective course in chemistry for third and fourth-year honor students. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the major concepts covered in a general chemistry course as well as problem-solving techniques. Concepts covered include basic structure of the atom, periodic chart, chemical reactions, and stoichiometry. These principles are developed through lectures, activities and laboratory work. Prerequisites: Students must have completed Biology and Geometry with a “B” average, have concurrent enrollment in Algebra II, or attained teacher and/or principal’s approval. 

Introduction to Forensics (Junior/Senior Level)

AP Chemistry (Junior/Senior Level)
AP Chemistry is a second-year honors chemistry course that will offer the student an in-depth exploration of advanced chemistry topics including molecular structure, equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, thermochemistry and oxidation, and reduction. Topics are presented through lecture, demonstrations and laboratory investigations. Prerequisites: Students must have completed Honors Chemistry and Algebra II with a “B” average. Note: Students will be required to take the AP exam in the spring and have the opportunity to receive college credit.

Honor Physics (Senior Level)
This class is a two-semester introductory course in physics for fourth-year science students. Concepts developed include force, motion, work, fluid dynamics, and electricity. These principles are developed through lecture, discussion, problem-solving and reinforced with laboratory work. Prerequisite: Students must have completed Physical Science and Honors Chemistry and completed 3 years of Math with a “B” average, or attained teacher and/or principal's approval.
