Classes:
This course
allows students to analyze the study of living organisms and their vital
processes through scientific inquiry. Pedagogy is aligned with the state
curricula and covers the classification of living things, cellular processes,
ecology, evolution, and issues in science, technology, and society.
This course allows students to
analyze the nature and properties of energy and nonliving matter through scientific
inquiry. Pedagogy is aligned with the state curricula and covers composition
and properties of matter, energy composition and change, forces and motion, and
issues in science, technology, and society.
This course introduces the nature and properties of matter at the
atomic and molecular level. Topics covered will include chemical problem
solving, measurement, significant figures, components of matter, aqueous
solutions, origin of atoms, structure of atoms, structure and reactivity of
molecules, and chemical reactions. Course objectives are taken from advanced
physical science curricula.
Environmental
Science
The Environmental Science course concentrates on understanding the
environments in which organisms live and how they interact. Environmental Science is an integrated
science encompassing various aspects of water, air, land, and organisms. Course objectives are based on advanced life,
earth, and physical science state curricula.
Anatomy
and Physiology
This course provides a
general description of human anatomy and physiology, including biochemistry, cell
and tissue function, and an overview of all the body systems. Class objectives
are based on advanced state life science curriculum.
Animal
Science
The Animal Science course concentrates on understanding
the variety of animals around the world.
The course covers animal taxonomy, invertebrates, and vertebrates
focusing on the study of genetics, physiology, and ecology of animal behavior
in an evolutionary context. Behavioral adaptations discussed with particular
reference to their ecological significance. Course objectives based on the
advanced life science curricula.
