Problem solving, mathematics, and physics concepts are introduced and integrated throughout the semester. The focus for this semester is on the study of kinematics. Concepts ranging from basic motion, velocity, and acceleration will be developed and expanded upon as well as the concepts of force, energy, and momentum. This is a lab science credit.

Students are curious about the world around them, and what better way to spark that curiosity then to explore the scientific marvels that helped to shape the Earth and the space that surrounds it! Earth and Space Science is a very broad area of study, encompassing the major areas of geology, environmental science, oceanography, meteorology, and astronomy.  This course will examine the topics of earth materials, such as minerals and rock formation, sculpting earth’s surface through weathering and erosion, and external forces from space as well as internal forces such as earthquakes, plate tectonics, and volcanoes. An exploration into Earth’s history and geological time are also examined. This is a lab science

This course is designed to provide students with opportunities to develop and use important chemistry concepts and skills with which to understand the chemistry behind real-life phenomenon. Some topics that will be covered include: oxidation-reduction processes, kinetics, equilibrium, industrial and environmental chemistry, nuclear radiation, nuclear reactions, nuclear energy, and biochemistry, energy relationships, and organic chemistry. There are several writing assignments in this course that require application on Chemistry knowledge. This is a lab science credit.
