Course Length: Semester Course

Credit:  0.5

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisites: Success in previous high school science course; and teacher/school counselor recommendation

Course Description: This course surveys key topic areas including: the application of scientific processes to environmental analysis, ecology, energy flow, ecological structures, earth systems and atmospheric, land, and water science. Topics also include the management of natural resources and analysis of private and governmental decisions involving the environment. Students explore actual case studies and conduct five hands-on, unit-long research activities, learning that political and private decisions about the environment and the use of resources require accurate application of scientific processes, including proper data collection and responsible conclusions.

Credit:  1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 10-12

Course Description: This course guides students to a deeper understanding of biological concepts including the diversity and unity of life, energy and the processes of life, homeostasis, and genetics. Students learn about regulation, communication, and signaling in living organisms, as well as interactions of biological systems. Students carry out a number of learning activities, including readings, interactive exercises, extension activities, hands-on laboratory experiments, and practice assessments. These activities are designed to help students gain an understanding of the science process and critical-thinking skills necessary to answer questions on the AP Biology Exam. The content aligns to the sequence of topics recommended by the College Board.

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisites: Success in Chemistry and Algebra II, and teacher/school counselor recommendation.

Course Description: Students solve chemical problems by using mathematical formulation principles and chemical calculations in addition to laboratory experiments. They build on their general understanding of chemical principles and engage in a more in-depth study of the nature and reactivity of matter. Students focus on the structure of atoms, molecules, and ions, and then go on to analyze the relationship between molecular structure and chemical and physical properties. To investigate this relationship, students examine the molecular composition of common substances and learn to transform them through chemical reactions with increasingly predictable outcomes. Students prepare for the AP Exam. The course content aligns to the sequence of topics recommended by the College Board.

Recommended Grade Level: 11-12

Prerequisites: Two years of high school laboratory science, including life science and physical science, along with at least one year of algebra    

Course Description: The AP Environmental Science course is designed to engage students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships within the natural world. The course requires that students identify and analyze natural and human-made environmental problems, evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. Environmental science is interdisciplinary, embracing topics from geology, biology, environmental studies, environmental science, chemistry, and geography. The AP Environmental Science course is designed to be the equivalent of a one-semester, introductory college course in environmental science.

Recommended Grade Level: 9-12

Course Description: What is life? If you ever had this question cross your mind, then this is the course for you. Biology is the study of life!In this course, students investigate topics in cells, genetics, evolution, natural selection, taxonomy, and ecology. You will learn how to think and investigate like a scientist. It is important to learn how to critically think and solve problems, which can further be applied to making informed decisions about your own life. The program consists of in-depth online lessons including extensive animations, collaborative explorations, and hands-on laboratory experiments students can conduct at home.

Credit: 1.0

Recommended Grade Level: 10-12

Course Description: This course provides a comprehensive survey of all key areas: atomic structure, chemical bonding and reactions, solutions, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, and more. The course uses a storyline structure that connects to real-world phenomena, and answers questions like: How can we slow the flow of energy on Earth to protect vulnerable coastal communities?; What causes lightning and why are some places sager than others when it strikes?; How could we find and use the resources we need to live beyond Earth?; Why are oysters dying, and how can we use chemistry to protect them?; and Which fuels should we design our next-generation vehicles to use?

Recommended Grade Level: 10-12

Course Description: This course provides a comprehensive survey of all key areas: astronomy, plate tectonics, weather and climate, and more.  In this class students will answer questions like: What has made Earth able to sustain life? If we are not successful in stopping the negative changes to planet Earth, is there an exoplanet that is Earth-like enough to sustain life?; Why do earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis occur in some places on Earth, how are they related, and what does this all mean for risk in different parts of the world?; Will there be more frequent and more intense severe storms in the future?
