Physical Science - This course is designed for average and high ability
science students. It is required before the study of Chemistry and Physics
because the basic principles of both of these subjects are introduced and
emphasized in the Physical Science course.
Biology I: This course is designed to develop an understanding of the
diversity and unity in living things. Concepts covered include
interactions of organisms with their enviornment, chemical structure of
organisms, transfer of energy in organisms, cell structure and function,
continuity and change in living things, diversity of living things, and
biology related career oportunities.
Chemistry: This course presents the student with the foundational ideas
behind atomic structure, bonding, kinetic theory, solutions, equilibrium,
thermodynamics, acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry, and nuclear
chemistry. In this course, emphasis is placed on the development of
chemical principles, and problem solving techniques. Laboratory
experiences are central in the course. A scientific calculator is
required.
10th Grade Computer/Keyboarding: This course is designed to introduce the
letter keyboard, the figure and symbol keyboard, and the keypad to the
student so they can operate them with dexterity and continuity using the
touch method. it also asquaints studetns with various formats of business
and professional correspondence. The student will atain proficiency in
document creation design, publishing, database, spreadsheet, graphic
design and multimedia presentations. We will also discuss current and
emerging information systems, networking systems and communication
systems.
8th Grade ACT Prep: This is a one semester course which is designed to
help the students take a college entrance exam called th ACT assessment.
This three hour standardized test plays a crucial part in whether or not
the students are accepted to the college or universities of their choice.
The main reason for this course is to prepare you to take the ACT. You
will also learn the format, the kind of questions asked, the time limits
and what the exam measures. This class will also give you general tips, as
well as proven strategies that are specific to the ACT exam.
8th Grade Computer Class: This is a one semester course which will discuss
current and emerging information systems and networking systems. We will
introduce the letter keyboard, the figure and symbol keyboard and the
keypad to the students so they can operate them with dexterity and
cotinuity using the touch method. The students will learn skills necessary
in problem solving using current and emerging information technology as it
relates to business and professional careers.
