Numerous laboratory experiences enhance student understanding of the basic physical concepts which govern the physical universe. Graphical analysis of motion, vectors and force provides the student with critical thinking activities geared toward the solution of rudimentary physics problems. This course is geared to those students who have strong science skills, high motivation, and who have exhibited the ability to analyze data critically and to arrive at logical meaningful conclusions. The students continuously engage in critical thinking activities, analysis of data, and the written presentation of logical conclusions during the extensive laboratory activities. Chemistry or Chemistry H A.P. Biology is a fast-paced course, which requires responsible and committed students to spend extensive time and effort in study.
Some topics necessitate independent study.
In this college-level course, which is designed to prepare students for the AP exam, a college textbook is used and the College Board AP Bio syllabus is followed for topics and laboratories. Non-syllabus labs enrich the contemporary analytical approach. Biology Anatomy and Physiology is designed to introduce students to the structure and function of the human body. The scope of the course includes topics such as animal cell structure and biochemistry, tissue organization and function, and mammalian organs and organ systems as they relate to human biology. Extensive laboratory work, including a major mammalian dissection, is required.
