High School Academics / Curriculum : Science BiologyThis is a general biology course that includes units on ecology, cell
life, genetics, biological diversity, “simple” organisms, and the human
body. Laboratory investigation comprises a key component. AP BiologyAdvanced Placement Biology is designed to prepare you to take the College
Board Advanced Placement Biology exam. The course is designed to be the
equivalent of a two-semester college introductory biology course taken
by biology majors. The first semester will focus on studying the chemistry
of life, cells, cellular energetics, heredity, and molecular genetics.
The second semester will focus on the diversity of organisms, the structure
and function of plants and animals, and ecology. Class activities will
include discussion, problem solving, and 12 required lab experiments.
Extensive practice in essay writing and in understanding and responding
to multiple choice questions are an integral part of the class. ChemistryThis is a general chemistry course that examines the fundamental composition
of matter and changes from one form of matter to another. Topics include
the properties of matter, atomic and molecular structure, the nature of
equilibrium, gases, the organization and use of the periodic table, the
principles of chemical bonding, characteristics of solutions, the use
of stoichiometry, attributes of acids and bases, nuclear chemistry, and
organic compounds. Laboratory investigation comprises a key component. PhysicsThis is a general physics course that involves the study of the physical
world: energy, matter, and how they are related. Included are units on
mechanics, waves and light, electricity and magnetism, and modern physics.
Laboratory investigation comprises a key component. Textbook Information For textbook information, please click here to visit our textbook provider.
