Integrated
Physics & Chemistry
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 primary
focus in instruction. Student investigation will emphasize accurate
observations, collection of data, data analysis, and the safe
manipulation of laboratory apparatus, and materials in the laboratory.
Chemistry
This course of study emphasizes the investigation of matter and
its interactions and the factors affecting the interactions. The
major units are water, materials, petroleum, foods, nuclear, air,
and industry.
Biology
This course of study emphasizes the investigation of life processes
and their interaction with the environment. The students will
study cell parts and processes such as homeostasis and energy
through photosynthesis and respiration, DNA, genetics, and the
high demand field of biotechnology. They will also study evolution,
ecology/ecosystems and body systems. Much of the student investigation
will be done through laboratory exploration.
Medical
Science
Medical Science allows students to explore the world of health
care professions and identify personal interests and aptitudes
in that field. This program provides unique opportunities for
students to gain pertinent skills that will enhance personal health
as well as the pursuit of a health career. A variety of certifications
are also available through different course offerings. |
