Open To: juniors, seniors<br />
A laboratory course which stresses the fundamental<br />
laws and concepts of physics and their applications<br />
to real life situations. Content areas include: vector<br />
analysis, forces and motion, energy, momentum, heat,<br />
sound, optics, electricity, magnetism, and modern<br />
physics. Emphasis is placed upon problem-solving<br />
strategies. The purchase of a laboratory workbook<br />
and instructional packet may be required.<br />
Prerequisite: One earned credit of Algebra 2 / Trig<br />

Course Length: year<br />
Credits: 1.0<br />
Periods/Week: 5<br />
Fee: $5.00 + Workbook $4.00<br />
Open To: All<br />
Offers a practical study of the relationships of matter<br />
and energy. Current applications help students learn<br />
basic science laws and principles. Special emphasis<br />
on everyday situations will bring meaning to science.<br />
The purchase of a workbook and instructional packet<br />
may be required.<br />

General Biology 1<br />
Course Number: 0323<br />
Course Length: year<br />
Credits: 1.0<br />
Periods/Week: 7<br />
Fee: $18.00<br />
Open To: sophomores, juniors, seniors<br />
A much less rigorous course than other biology courses.<br />
This course is presented as a final experience in life<br />
science for students who do not plan on attending a<br />
university or technical school upon graduation. Biology<br />
in relation to everyday life situations is stressed.<br />
The course will cover botany, comparative zoology,<br />
organism development and comparison, dissection<br />
and simple genetics. The purchase of a workbook/<br />
laboratory manual, instructional packet, and safety<br />
glasses is required.<br />
Prerequisite: One earned credit of Science<br />
Foundations<br />
