Chemistry (A, B)
Chemistry includes the study of the structure,
composition and behavior of matter, as well as factors that affect the interaction of matter. Laboratory investigations enhance the emphasis of process skills and laboratory safety. Students may apply chemical knowledge to problem solving, classifying matter, quantifying chemicals, and predicting chemical phenomena. Students use decision making and critical thinking to propose possible solutions in the study of issues concerning science and technology. Pre- AP/GT Chemistry will include content and skill development to prepare students for Chemistry AP. Required Prerequisite: Algebra I & one unit of high school science Suggested Prerequisite: Completion of concurrent enrollment in a second year of math. One Credit Physics (A, B)
Physics is the organized study of the properties of substances and forms of energy found in the world, and the interactions of all of these. The first semester of this course focuses on classical mechanics - the fundamental concepts of linear motion, Newton’s laws, momentum and energy with laboratory applications of these topics. The second semester is predominantly wave phenomena and electromagnetism (field forces). Topics in the second semester include: waves, sound, light, linear optics, electricity and circuits with laboratory applications of these topics.
This course is designed to provide the student with strong foundations in this branch of science. Strong emphasis is placed on problem solving skills, organizational skills, inductive reasoning and intuitive reasoning. Prerequisite: Algebra I One Credit |
