Anatomy and Physiology 2 CREDIT: .5 GRADE: 11-12 PREREQUISITE:
Homework: 1-2 hours/week 2 science credits & Anatomy and Physiology 1
This class covers the anatomical and physiological aspects of various systems of the human body. The systems learned the second semester include the excretory, integumentary, endocrine, lymphatic, circulatory, respiratory, and digestive. This class is recommended for those planning on entering a medical or health profession. Environmental Science 1 CREDIT: .5 GRADE: 10-12 PREREQUISITE:
Homework: 1-2 hours/week Biology
The goal of the Environmental Science course is to provide students with an understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. Environmental science is interdisciplinary; it embraces a wide variety of topics from different areas of study. Environmental Science 2 CREDIT: .5 GRADE: 10-12 PREREQUISITE:
Homework: 1-2 hours/week Biology and Environmental Science 1
This course is a continuation of the Environmental Science 1 class. This interdisciplinary course continues the study of a wide variety of scientific topics including ecosystems, earth’s surface processes and changes, human interaction with earth and a study of the engineering and technologies that affect our world. Advanced Placement (AP) Environmental Science CREDIT: 1.0 GRADE: 11-12 PREREQUISITE:
Homework: 4-6 hours/week successful completion of 1 full year Biology & 1 full year Chemistry
Advanced Placement Environmental Science is a full-year course designed to provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems and to examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. Major topics covered in this course include: Earth Systems and Resources, The Ecosystem and the Living World, Human Population, Land and Water Use, Energy Resources and Consumption, Pollution, and Global Change. The AP Environmental class will follow the guidelines set up by the AP College Board. Students will study for the AP test given in May. This test is optional, but highly recommended. A fee is charged for taking this test. The amount of college credit given depends on the student’s score on the test and the university they will be attending.
