Biology
[1]
Prerequisite:
Biology is the study of the structure, growth, and function of the life
systems of selected organisms. This study will encompass historical contributions
to biological concepts; energy production, transfer, and use in living
systems; and the relationships of organisms with each other and with their
environments. Students acquire data using their senses and instrumentation.
Observations are made of living organisms in the environment, prepared
specimens, various ecosystems, and inherited traits. Student investigations
emphasize accurate observations, collection of data, data analysis, and
the safe manipulation of laboratory apparatus and materials in the field
and the laboratory.
Integrated
Physics and Chemistry [1]
Prerequisite: None
This course integrates the disciplines of physics and chemistry in topics
such as the following: motion, waves, energy, transformations, properties
of matter, changes in matter, and solution chemistry. The use of technology
and laboratory investigation will be a primary focus in instruction. Student
investigations will emphasize accurate observations, collection of data,
data analysis, and the safe manipulation of laboratory apparatus and materials
in the laboratory. |
