This course provides a rigorous introduction to the life sciences. Course topics include biochemistry, cell biology, ecology, energetics, molecular biology, genetics, taxonomy, and an introduction to cutting edge aspects of biotechnology.

This course will introduce the student to the world of living organisms and their relationship to their environment. Basic concepts will be stressed, beginning with a study of cell biology and development of laboratory skills.

This newly designed course is a one-year study of matter and energy. General topics covered during the course include atomic theory, periodic table, electrons, bonding, chemical formulas, equations, energy changes, & behavior of gases, liquids and solids.

This course offers the student the fundamentals of Newtonian physics, including mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and sound, optics, and heat and thermodynamics. The course will use laboratory and problem solving in the above areas.

This course will cover mechanics, force, motion, energy and power, heat and work, thermal properties, phase changes, electricity and magnetism including fields, circuits and currents and wave phenomena such as light and sound.

Honors Physics provides a mathematically rigorous introduction to many topics in the field of physics, including mechanics , light & optics, electricity, and thermodynamics. The course is intended for students with a keen interest in the sciences.

This course of study guides students through an investigation of the marine environment as a diverse ecosystem with interactions and interrelationships spanning all of the biological kingdoms.

This course is an introductory course that examines the form and function of the human body. Throughout this year-long program, students will discuss the anatomical structures of the human systems with an emphasis on anatomical terminology.

This course provides and introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles of geology, oceanography, meteorology and astronomy.Specific topics include the study of rocks and minerals, plate tectonics, & the composition and circulation of the ocean.

This elective course will take the student deeper into the study of Biology but with a more intensive focus on vertebrate anatomy. Laboratory dissections will augment the class discussions.

This hands-on, project-based course engages students in the mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering design and build process. Students learn four drafting methods to produce detailed engineering drawings, test materials under tension, & compression.

This course is meant to provide the equivalent education of a full-year college-level introductory biology curriculum, following the AP Biology Curriculum Framework.

This course is the equivalent of an introductory college course in environmental science. It will provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world.

This course delves deeply into the topics of thermodynamics, fluids, electrostatics and DC and RC circuits, magnetism and electromagnetic induction, light and optics, as well as atomic and nuclear physics.

• Biomedical Science is a one-credit, lab-based course that explores the fundamentals of human anatomy, exercise science, medicine, and disease. Through hands-on experiments, case studies, and problem-solving activities, students will investigate the structure and function of the human body, the physiological effects of exercise, and the principles of medical diagnosis and treatment. Topics include major body systems, common diseases and disorders, medical technologies, and the role of healthcare professionals. This course emphasizes scientific inquiry, critical thinking, and practical applications in biomedical fields, preparing students for further studies in health sciences.  

Prerequisites: Successful completion of Biology and Chemistry 

Forensic science has become an important part of criminal investigation at all levels of law enforcement. It is one of the fastest growing fields of study for science and technology. Forensic science has applications to high profile cases in the criminal justice system and everyday crime scenes. In this course, students will be introduced to the fundamentals of a crime scene investigation, the collection and analysis of evidence and associated lab techniques. Students will be actively engaged in learning as they process crime scenes, analyze lab data, and conduct scientific investigations. Students will use technology to participate in activities that closely resemble those used by law enforcement personnel and forensic scientists. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Biology and Chemistry. Physics is recommended (prior to or concurrent with this course).
