AP Chemistry Year - 1 credit Prerequisite: Chemistry, Instructor Approval
Marine Science (1st semester) Semester - 0.5 credit Prerequisite: Chemistry, Instructor Approval, Concurrent Enrollment in Biology Marine Science is a semester-long course that introduces students to the dynamic world of Earth's oceans, combining elements of biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science. Through laboratory investigations and hands-on activities, students explore the physical and chemical properties of seawater, ocean currents, marine ecosystems, and the diverse life forms that inhabit marine environments. The course examines human impacts on ocean health, current technologies in ocean exploration, and the sustainable use of marine resources. Students develop critical thinking skills while investigating marine phenomena, analyzing oceanographic data, and evaluating environmental challenges facing our oceans. Students will learn about DNA and how to manipulate it. Different molecular techniques such as DNA gel electrophoresis, PCR, plasmid subcloning, transformations, mini-preps, and more will be taught by the students. Correctly scribed and maintained laboratory notebooks will also be required. Anatomy (1st semester) Semester - 0.5 credit Prerequisite: Chemistry, Instructor Approval, Concurrent Enrollment in Biology Students will learn anatomical terms, the different tissue types (epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous tissue) and their histology, the integumentary system, the skeletal system, the muscular system, and the urinary system. Labs, including animal dissections, will be performed in this class. DNA Science (2nd semester) Semester - 0.5 credit Prerequisite: Chemistry, Instructor Approval, Concurrent Enrollment in Biology
AP Chemistry is a year-long, college-level chemistry course. In this course, students will embark on a challenging journey through the fundamental principles of chemistry. From atomic structure to chemical bonding, and thermodynamics to equilibrium, students will explore the intricacies of matter and its transformations. Hands-on experiments, problem-solving, and in-depth discussions will prepare students for the AP exam. Students will develop a strong foundation in chemistry and analytical skills, empowering them for further studies in science and beyond.
Environmental Science Year - 1 credit Prerequisite: Biology
Students explore the intricate web of our environment through investigation of ecosystems, analysis of human impact, and delving into sustainable solutions. Students will develop a deep understanding of environmental issues through hands-on experiments and discussions, fostering an eco-conscious perspective for a sustainable future. Environmental Science will be stacked with AP Environmental Science.
AP Environmental Science Year - 1 credit Prerequisite: Biology, Instructor Approval
Students will dive into the complexities of our planet's ecosystems and environmental challenges by combining scientific inquiry with real-world problem-solving. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of environmental issues and develop the skills needed to address them as informed global citizens. In preparation for the AP exam, students will engage in critical analysis, hands-on labs, and explore environmental policies AP Environmental Science will be stacked with Environmental Science.
