Science (Required) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
This
course is intended to introduce students to the basics
of the worlds of chemistry and physics. It will greatly
enhance the student's knowledge of science as well
as giving them an appreciation of the individual principles
of chemistry and physics. The students will use physical
science as a foundation course for future required
science and advanced classes.

| Comp.
Integrated Science (Required for Honors Diploma) |
| 18
Weeks |
1
Credit |
This
course is designed to be more challenging and in depth.
Students will progress at a faster pace and this class
will be used as a foundation for future comprehensive
science classes.
|
| Biology
(Required) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
Biology
is the study of life. In this course, students will
study living organisms ranging from microscopic to
large mammals, including humans. This course is designed
to give students exposure to a wide variety of topics.
The purpose of this course is to expose students to
"life" that is all around them. Labs, demonstrations,
professional lectures, and field trips will be utilized.

Credit |
This
course covers the same topics as general biology.
In comprehensive biology, the students will move at
a faster pace and this course will go into much greater
depth.

| Comp.
Biology II (Elective) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
Prerequisite:
Biology I and Chemistry I (may be currently enrolled
in Chemistry)
This
course offers students advanced level experience in
the concepts of biology and laboratory techniques
used by scientists. Major areas of study will include
genetics, the human body, ecology, the environment,
and plants. Learning will be enhanced through lecture,
laboratory experiences, debates, research, and field
trips.
|
| Anatomy
and Physiology (Elective) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
Prerequisite:
Biology I
This
class will consist of 18 weeks of anatomy & physiology.
In Anatomy, students will master structure and how
these structures move. Students will also master the
major systems of the body. Learning will be enhanced
through lab, community visits and research, gross
anatomy lab and projects. This class is for ambitious
juniors and seniors that have had Biology I.
|
| Botany
(Elective) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
Prerequisite:
Biology I
Botany
is designed for students to gain basic knowledge of
the internal and external aspects of plants. Learning
will be enhanced through propagation techniques within
the CHS Greenhouse and maintaining and beautification
of the school grounds.
|
| Chemistry
(Required) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
Chemistry
is the science dealing with the structure and composition
of substances, the changes in composition, and the
mechanisms by which these changes occur. This courseis
organized in a logical, workable sequence. Descriptive
and theoretical topics are alternated to provide classroom
variety and a well-correlated laboratory program.
Students will learn basic chemistry concepts that
will provide a background for more advanced science
courses. This chemistry course will endeavor to show
students the usefulness of chemistry in the world
around them.
|
| Comp.
Chemistry (Required for Honors Diploma) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
In
this chemistry course, the students will cover the
similar topics as in general chemistry, but in much
greater depth. Students will move at an accelerated
pace and strong math skills are recommended.
|
| Chemistry
II (Elective) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
Prerequisite:
Chemistry I
Chemistry
II offers students advanced level and enrichment experiences
in concepts involving chemical changes of matter.
Laboratory activities and investigations are presented
in the spirit of inquiry and research. Advanced-level
laboratory techniques are developed to further the
student's ability to pursue a chemical science related
career.
|
| Advanced
Placement Chemistry (Elective) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
Prerequisite:
Chemistry II
This
AP Chemistry course will endeavor to show students
the usefulness of chemistry in the world around them.
This course will provide students with the background
in modern chemistry that they need for their specialized
studies, including more advanced college science courses.
A college text book and laboratory manual will be
utilized to prepare students for the chemistry advanced
placement test.

AP Physics (Elective) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
This
course is designed for juniors and seniors who are
interested in developing a genuine understanding of
the physical laws fundamental to all sciences. This
course uses problem solving as the primary means of
studying physics. The mathematical techniques used
include algebra and trigonometry.
Course objective: to provide the students with a clear
and logical presentation of the basic concepts and
principles of physics, and to strengthen and understanding
of these concepts and principles through a variety
of interesting applications to the real world. Topics
covered: an overview of physics, problem solving techniques,
Newton's laws of motion, concurrent and parallel forces,
conservation of energy, phases of matter, heat, light,
reflection, refraction, and diffraction.
|
| Environmental
Science (Elective) 18 Weeks |
1
Credit |
The
environmental science class is designed to introduce
students to basic ecology concepts and to help them
appreciate and understand how the world works. Topics
include the water cycle, animal interactions, biomass,
pollution, and the greenhouse effect.
