Calculus.<br />
AP Physics 2 is a fourth-year, laboratory science course that is<br />
equivalent to a second-semester, college-level, general physics<br />
course. This course prepares students to take higher level<br />
science courses in college and/or take the AP Physics 2 examination<br />
to potentially earn credits for a college science<br />
course. Students are expected to take the AP Physics 2 examination<br />
and should expect to spend at least one hour per<br />
night, with homework assigned nightly.<br />
This course covers in depth thermodynamics; fluid static and<br />
dynamics; electrostatics; DC circuits and RC circuits; magnetism;<br />
optics; and quantum, atomic, and nuclear physics.<br />
Students are expected to apply specific science practices<br />
through group activities and laboratory experiments. These<br />
practices include: communicating scientific phenomena and<br />
solve problems using models and representations, appropriate<br />
use of mathematics, scientific questioning, planning and<br />
implementing data collection, analyzing and evaluating data,<br />
communicate scientific explanations and theories, and connect<br />
this knowledge across various scales and concepts. Students<br />
may have opportunities to use computer spreadsheets,<br />
databases, scientific publications, and desktop publishing as<br />
tools in the classroom. This course may not be repeated for<br />
credit.<br />
HONORS HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY (L3120)<br />
10 Credits, One Year, Grades 11, 12<br />
Life Science Credit<br />
This course meets the CSU/UC ‘d’ Laboratory Science college<br />
entrance requirement.<br />
Prerequisite: Completed Biology and Chemistry with a passing<br />
grade<br />
Predictors of Success: Student interest, dedication to inclass<br />
work, commitment to daily homework/studying, and<br />
grades of ‘B’ or better in biology, chemistry and Algebra I.<br />
Honors Human Anatomy and Physiology is a third-or fourth<br />
year, college preparatory, laboratory science course which<br />
prepares students for college-level physiology courses. This<br />
honors course differs from L3110 because the structure and<br />
function of all of the body systems will be studied, requiring<br />
a faster pace and increased time spent on homework and<br />
studying. Students will be expected to complete a summer<br />
assignment to gain a working knowledge of biochemistry, cell<br />
structures, cell transport, and cell processes so that they are<br />
prepared to work on body systems on the first day of class.<br />
The principal methods of learning are reading of the textbook,<br />
lecture, demonstration, microscopic examination of<br />
human tissue, dissection of cats and sheep hearts for the<br />
comparative study of the human body. Oral reports on current<br />
topics in physiology or medical issues are required. Students<br />
will use proper laboratory skills in the handling of materials<br />
and equipment. Projects include an oral report and<br />
teaching project/manipulative. Students should expect<br />
homework daily. This course may not be repeated for credit.<br />
