Physical Science
10 creditsA lab course introducing principles of physics and chemistry. Students will be given the opportunity to develop skills in data collection and interpretation. Prepares students for further scientific studies in life sciences, chemistry and physics.
Biology I
10 creditsPrerequisite: Physical or Earth Science. A sophomore level life science course covering the cell, genetics, origins, diversity of life using the five kingdom classification system, an overview of human anatomy and physiology, and ecology.
Biology II
10 creditsPrerequisites: Biology 1 and either Physical or Earth Science. An elective junior/senior level life science lab course for students wanting to improve their biology knowledge and skills. Students will be introduced to a wide variety of biology research methods and skills in selected topics. Biology II is offered on even years. A lab fee is charged.
Chemistry
10 creditsPrerequisites: Biology I and either Physical or Earth Science. A junior/senior level elective lab course for students wanting to deepen their understanding of chemistry principles and broaden their chemistry lab experience. This course helps prepare students for college chemistry.
Anatomy and Physiology
10 creditsPrerequisites: Biology I and either Physical or Earth Science. A junior/senior level elective course which thoroughly surveys the anatomy and physiology of human body systems. This course provides a solid background for students considering health and medically-related study programs in college. Offered on odd years.
Physics
10 creditsA study of the physical world through classical mechanics, progressing to the study of heat, light, electrical and magnetic energy utilizing the properties of wave mechanics. Practical application is stressed in the lab setting.
