dynamics, human history and influences, community and ecosystem processes, natural resource exploitation and impacts, environmental economics and policy, as well as future choices
equivalent to those of college freshmen. The topics presented in this course: atoms, molecules, and ions, stoichiometry, types of chemical reactions, properties of solutions, gases, atomic structure and periodicity, bonding concepts, thermodynamics, rate of reaction, chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, equilibria in acid-base solutions, spontaneity of reaction and electrochemistry are treated in depth.
PHYSICAL SCIENCE COURSES... Chemistry / Honors Chemistry Duration: Year/1.0 credit Fee: None Prerequisite: Biology or concurrent enrollment eAchieve Option: Yes This course studies matter and the physical and chemical changes it undergoes and includes appropriate laboratory work to complement the topics being studied. Chemistry I emphasizes atomic structure, periodic table development, formula writing, equation balancing, gas laws, solutions, and acid/base relationships. In addition, there is also some emphasis on science, technology, and society interrelationships as all citizens have an obligation to become better informed when it comes to making decisions on factors that affect the quality of their lives.
Physics Duration: Year/1.0 credit Fee: None Prerequisite: Biology and Chemistry or concurrent enrollment eAchieve Option: Yes The content of this course includes the study of forces, motion, work, power, wave motion, sound, heat, light, radioactivity, static and direct current electricity and their application in everyday living. Physics 1 is the final required science course in the three-year sequence of Biology 1, Chemistry 1 and Physics 1.
Advanced Placement Physics I Duration: Year/1.0 credit Fee: None
Organic Chemistry
Prerequisite: Biology and Chemistry or concurrent
Duration: Year / 1.0 credit Lab Fee: None Prerequisite: Biology , Chemistry, Physics I or AP Physics I or concurrent enrollment, and three years of math eAchieve Option: No

This semester course provides a survey of organic chemistry. Students will be exposed to advanced topics in chemistry that they would find in college level chemistry. This survey course includes the study of the compounds and reactions of the alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, alcohols, ethers, ketones, acids and esters.
Advanced Placement Chemistry Duration: Year/1.0 credit Fee: None Prerequisite: Chemistry, Algebra II, and Physics I or AP Physics I or concurrent enrollment eAchieve Option: Yes
eAchieve Option: Yes The Advanced Placement Physics course is designed to allow students to pursue college-level studies while attending high school. Although this course will provide students with a solid foundation in physics, AP Physics will not replace college courses for those students planning to study advanced physics or engineering. AP Physics corresponds to an introductory level semester course in college physics. This course provides a systematic introduction to the main principles of physics and emphasizes the development of problem-solving ability. The content of this course is presented in greater depth and at a more rapid pace than in Physics I. This course will prepare students to take the AP Physics 1 Exam, the results of which may be used for determining college credit.
AP Chemistry is a fast paced college-level course designed to take the place of freshman inorganic chemistry. Students are challenged to be responsible for their own learning, acquire a solid foundation in inorganic chemistry, strengthen quantitative reasoning and problem-solving skills, and develop lab skills
