High school biology incorporates lectures with a practical laboratory program. Students learn the value of making accurate observations and data recording to arrive at valid conclusions. The investigations will include, but are not limited to, why things move, water resources, bio-medical technology, and handling resources. This is a college preparatory course that includes topics in atomic theory and structure, chemical bonding and behavior, and the molecular structure of elements, compounds, and mixtures. Laboratory experiments are used to help introduce and clarify topics covered.
Major emphasis is placed on problem solving.
I A college preparatory course that provides an understanding of the physical laws fundamental to all science. Concepts presented will be reinforced through lectures, student activities and laboratory experiments. Special attention is given to the mathematical treatment of data. This course is designed for students with a special interest and high motivation for an in-depth study of the physical sciences. This course is designed as an equivalent of a college introductory course.
