Biology 1B is the study of living things from the tiniest bacterium to the largest tree. In addition, basic laboratory skills and techniques are introduces, organisms are dissected, and math and writing skills are implemented. If a student has received credit for Biology 1A, he or she may not receive credit for this course.

Biology 1A is a stepped up version of Biology 1B designed for students who are college bound. It is run at a faster pace with more detail required in the laboratory work. The study of living things is backed up with dissections, research reports and product comparison labs. If a student has received credit for Biology 1B, he/she may not receive credit for this course.

An advanced science in which students will study the systems of the human body, the anatomy of each system, and the relationships that exist between all of the organs in each organ system & their function to maintain homeostasis within the body. It is an interesting and very valuable course for anyone interested in health, nursing, medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, lab technology, radiography, ultrasound technology, and a host of other occupations. Basic laboratory skills and techniques are applied, dissections are performed, and writing skills are implemented.

Topics of study include ecology and behavior, biochemistry, plants, the cell, photosynthesis and respiration, mitosis/meiosis, classical genetics, modern genetics/biotechnology, classification and the kingdoms, evolution and

human metabolism. Students are prepared for the AP Biology exam given in May. Students may receive college credit for an introductory biology course if they do well on the exam. In addition to the study of these topics, 12

labs will be performed. If testing fee is paid, the advanced placement exam can be taken as a part of this course.

General Science focuses on the study of the earth, the atmosphere, and space. Basic laboratory skills are introduced as students build models, react chemicals with rocks, and use chemicals to produce ‘volcanoes’ and many other activities. This course is offered as an alternative to Physics 1 or Chemistry 1 for those students who do not have the required math.

Conceptual Science is a basic study of physics and chemistry. Laboratory skills are continued as students utilize activities to inquire into the basic laws of motion and matter. This course is offered as an alternative to Physics 1 and chemistry 1 for those students who do not have the required math.

Physics 1 is a lab course in the study of physics. Topics covered in this course include the fundamentals of motion and forces, energy and work, waves, sound, electricity and magnetism.

This course studies the relationship of matter and energy as expressed in moving objects, light, sound, magnetism, and electricity. There are numerous lab activities.

Chemistry is the study of matter. Chemistry 1 focuses on the basics of the metric system, the factor-label method of problem solving, the atom, chemical nomenclature, chemical reactions and stoichiometry. The concepts are backed up by projects and lab activities.

materials are used and the curriculum is established by the National College Board. Preparatory work for this course will be assigned for students to complete during the summer prior to the school year in which they are enrolled in this course. Laboratory work is an integral and required part of the course and is highly analytical in nature. Students should have an interest in the sciences along with a well-established work ethic for success in this

college level course. AP Chemistry prepares the student to take the AP Chemistry Exam in May. Success on this exam may entitle the student to college credit, advanced college placement, or both.
