AP Biology is a year-long, college level Biology course. This fast-paced course offers students a glimpse of the different areas of Biology (environmental, molecular biology, cellular biology, genetics (Mendelian and non-Mendelian), metabolism/biochemistry, organismal biology, anatomy, and molecular genetics and biotechnology). All quizzes and tests are application-based: students will be given brand new scenarios and data sets to analyze. Fifty percent of all tests will involve application-based multiple choice questions. The remaining 50% of all tests will be application-based free response questions and students are expected to write clearly, concisely, and logically to answer the provided questions. Physics is a year-long class offered to students in grades nine through twelve. Although not a required course, colleges highly recommend that students take at least one year of physics during their high school career. Students will uncover the wonders of the physical world in this high school algebra-based physics course. From motion and forces to energy and waves, students will navigate the fundamental principles using algebraic concepts. By engaging in practical experiments, problem-solving, and critical thinking, students will grasp the essentials of physics. Students will build a solid foundation for understanding the natural laws governing our universe while developing analytical skills applicable across various disciplines.
AP Biology Year - 1 credit Prerequisite: Biology and Chemistry, Instructor Approval
Physics Year - 1 credit Prerequisite: Algebra 2
AP Physics 1 Year - 1 credit Prerequisite: Algebra 2, Instructor Approval
AP Physics 1 is a year-long, algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. Students will embark on an intellectually stimulating journey through the laws that govern the universe. Integrating algebra and calculus-based concepts, students will delve into mechanics, electricity, magnetism, waves, and more. Rigorous problem-solving, hands-on experiments, and advanced discussions will prepare students for the AP Physics 1 exam. This course aims to cultivate a deep understanding of the physical world and develop analytical skills crucial for success in higher-level sciences and engineering. AP Physics C (2nd semester only) Semester - 0.5 credit Prerequisite: Calculus, Physics, Instructor Approval AP Physics C: Mechanics is a one-semester, calculus-based, second year, college-level physics course, especially appropriate for students planning to specialize or major in one of the physical sciences or engineering. Students cultivate their understanding of physics through classroom study, in-class activity, and hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory work as they explore concepts like change, force interactions, fields, and conservation.
