Physical Sciences

Chemistry 1&2 (Reg) 4421-4422

This course involes both laboratory and non-laboratory work concerning the properties anduses of matter, the changes whih matter undergoes, and the conditions which influence these changes.

Prerequisite: Algebra 1

Chemistry 1&2 (H) 4431-4432

This course is designed for the above average science student who has demonstrated outstanding performance in Biology and Algebra 1. Chemistry 1&2 involves both laboratory and non-laboratory work concerning the properties and use of matter, the changes which matteer undergoes, and the conditions which influence these changes.

Prerequisite: Algebra 1 and recommendation of science teacher.

Chemistry 3&4 (H) 4435-4436

The emphasis of this course is on the fundamentals in preparation for future work in chemistry or related fields. Typical laboratory work includes determination of molar weight, rate of reaction, energy changes and identification of unknown substances. This course may include work in both organic and bio-chemistry. The student will spend the majority of time working in the laboratory.

Prerequisite: Chemistry 1&2 with grades of A or B, and recommendation of chemistry teacher.

AP Chemistry 3&4 4433-4434

This course is for the above average student who has demonstrated outstanding performance in Chemistry 1&2. The course covers the same topicsas Chemistry 3&4 (H) plus additional enrichment topics. Advanced Placement students will investigate topics to a greater depth. Emphasis will be placed on solving problems of greater difficulty.

Prerequisite: Chemistry 1&2 with grades of A or B, and recommendation of chemistry techer.

Physics 1&2

This course deals with the various forces and forms of energy in our environment and with the physical changes in matte. This class is designed for students who are college bound but not majoring in science, or not interested in technical preparation courses.

Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry I&II. The latter may be taken concurrently. Algebra II/ Trigonometry is highly recommended.

AP Physics

This is a laboratory course that provides an important opportunity to apply mathematics through the level of trigonometry. AP Physics I&II will meet the needs of students planning careers in mathematics, science or engineering.

Prerequisite: Algebra I, Geometry I&II, Intermediate Algebra II/ Trigonometry. The latter may be taken concurrently.

Physical Science

This course is designed for the students who must complete the two year science requirement and who does not plan on any further education after high school. It is hoped this course will motivate students to discover and enjoy the physical sciences. Students will become involved with the scientific process and the major concepts of the physical science though a balanced proram of text and laboratory experiences.
