Integrated Science (44010011)
The first semester of the Physical & Earth course provides the student basic information concerning physics with such topics as gravity, collisions and momentum. Measurement, speed and acceleration are introduced under the guise of safety in automobiles and a track and field championship.
Integrated Science IA (B) (44010012)
The second semester of the Physical & Earth Science course provides the student basic information concerning electricity, electromagnets and AC and DC currents. The nucleus is studied in detail with radioactivity. Other topics covered are plate tectonics and climate change.
Integrated Science IB (A) (44020011)
This course is the first semester of Chemistry, Space Science and Energy Science. Topics covered are element formation, element characteristics, atoms and the chemistry of elements including names and formulas, equations, energy and reaction rates.
Integrated Science IB (B) (44020012)
This course is the second half of the Chemistry, Space Science and Energy Science course. The rest of chemistry is covered here including states of matter and gases. There is a portion of the class devoted to the chemistry of the digestive system. Other topics covered include the biogeochemical cycles and energy and the environment.
Biology A (44120111)
Biology I C201 is a course which offers a basic understanding of life and life processes. Required topics of study include: the nature of science, the cell, the molecular basis of heredity, biological change, the interdependence of organisms, behavior of organisms, energy, organization in a living system, and biotechnology.
Biology B (44120112)
Biology I C201 is a course which offers a basic understanding of life and life processes. Required topics of study include: the cell, ecology, biological change, the interdependence of organisms, behavior of organisms, energy, homeostasis structures, taxonomy, and organization in a living system.
Chemistry A (44230311)
The first semester of chemistry includes five units. The first is The Tools of Physical Science and the students will study significant figures, measuring and the scientific method. Unit 2 is the Structure and Properties of Matter which covers atomic mass, atomic number and chemical and physical properties and changes. Bonding is Unit 3 and covers ionic, covalent and metallic bonding as well as naming and writing formulas for chemicals. The periodic table is studied in detail in Unit 4 and the last Unit entitled Changes in Matter discusses chemical equations and nuclear chemistry.
Chemistry B (44230312)
The second semester of chemistry has units entitled Stoichiometry, Solutions, Acids and Bases, Gases, Molecular Shapes and Equilibrium and Temperature and Heat.
Anatomy & Physiology A (44140011)
(Windows based: $5 fee for materials) The Anatomy and Physiology course is designed for students interested in learning more about the structures and functions of the human body. Anatomy and Physiology is one of the most fascinating, challenging, and satisfying science courses. The course will cover pathology, cytology, histology, psychology, and genetics. Also, this course will explore the eleven major systems of the human body. The following systems will be studied in C400A: Integumentary system, Nervous system, Skeletal system, and Muscular system.
Anatomy & Physiology B (44140011)
(Windows based: $5 fee for materials) The Anatomy and Physiology course is designed for students interested in learning more about the structures and functions of the human body. Anatomy and Physiology is one of the most fascinating, challenging, and satisfying science courses. The course will cover pathology, cytology, histology, psychology, and genetics. Also, this course will explore the eleven major systems of the human body. The following systems will be studied in C400B: Respiratory, Circulatory, Digestive, Urinary, Endocrine, Immune, and Reproductive.
Physics (44340413)
(Approval Required; full-year credit) Physics includes the study of the laws of motion and forces, the laws of conservation of energy and the interactions of energy with matter. You will also study waves, electricity, magnetism, electromagnetism and nuclear physics.
This is a year-long course and is designed for a student that is college-bound with an interest in majoring in the sciences. It is challenging and rewarding and will prepare the student for the physics required for pre-med, pre-dent, engineering and other scientific fields. There are virtual labs that will be completed with lab reports. We cannot actually perform hands-on labs but the virtual labs in this course do an exceptional job of modeling what a student might do in a real physics lab. It is conceptual as well as mathematical and requires skills in both areas. The highest math skills used involve trigonometry and equation solving. There are tutorials to refresh the student's memory if she has not used her trig knowledge recently. This will be a main area of emphasis in the course, so consider the student's math skills when deciding if this course is for him/her.
Lastly, this course is different from all other eSchool courses in that there is an online textbook and lab manual that you must purchase. The content in the course is all based on the textbook and the student must have access to it. There are instructions in Unit 0 on how to purchase the book and lab manual. It is a web-based text so the student may use it from any computer station allowing ham to work at school or home or any other place that he/she has access to a computer.
Health Education (48910111)
Health Education P101 consists of health instruction that emphasizes instruction in the following health areas: Community/Consumer Health, Safety and Accident Prevention, Substance Duane and Abuse, Growth and Development, Personal Health, Mental Health, Environmental Health, Nutrition Education, and Physical Fitness Education. This course provides information on the various health topics that students need to make sound decisions about health. A holistic approach is given with emphasis on mental, social and physical well-being. Accurate health information is given so that the student can develop healthful attitudes and behavior patterns. You will be asked to use the Internet to search for information to help you with the assignments.
