The relationship of organisms with their environment, the evolution of structures and functions, ecological succession and the patterns of growth are all covered, in depth. This is a laboratory course investigating the functional phenomena of human life and the principal conclusions which have been reached about the causes and interdependence of these phenomena. Studies also include structure and functional mechanisms for the performance and coordination of external and internal activities of the human body. This course places a strong emphasis on environmental issues and teaches students the chemistry required to make intelligent and well informed decisions regarding man and his relationship to his environment. This course offers a solid foundation in chemistry .
Great emphasis is placed on the experimental nature of chemistry .
The course is strongly aligned with the typical fresh- man college chemistry course for science majors. Students taking this course should have a strong interest in the subject and a solid background in mathematics. The purpose is to provide a college preparatory course that meets the standards for those who are interested in discovering the strategies of science through laboratory experiences. Physics explores the concepts of mechanics and the properties of matter, heat, sound, light, electricity and magnetism. Much of the time in this course is spent doing physics experiments and in solving physics story problems.
