This STEM course offered to ALL students focuses on Earth and Planetary Systems as a science. The history of the field of study will be explored as well as the tools and methods available to modern astronomers. (FY)

This course will focus on forces and the laws of nature affecting matter, such as equilibrium, motion and momentum. Emphasis is placed on real-world connections to physics. (FY)

🍎 Algebra 1

This course is all about understanding animals and how they fit into their environment (niche), their life cycles and evolutionary relationships to other organisms. Learn everything you wanted to know about the animal kingdom. This course relies heavily on dissections to compare anatomy of various members of the animal kingdom. (FY)

🍎 H Biology

Student will use science and technology to investigate crime scenes. The process of evidence collection and analysis is the primary focus. Recommended for upperclassmen due to the subject matter. (sem)

In this hands on class students will explore the relationships between the human body, physical activity, nutrition and biomechanics. This is course goes great with human anatomy and physiology and is a must for those interested in athletics and sports training. (sem)

Student will do an in-depth study of the human body and examine all the major body systems and how they interact with each other to help the body function. Some activities in class may involve animal dissection. (sem)

Student will use scientific skills to study the marine world. Specifically they will analyze the relationship between marine organisms and their environment. (sem)

Students can choose to take these quarter-based courses:

1) Cleaner Energy Through Plants for a Cleaner World: explore technology and innovation to address their community's growing energy needs through clean renewable sources. (Q)

2) Growing Organically: A Little Dirt Never Hurt: Students will test soil samples and create a nutrient management plan to maintain an organic garden on site at NCHS. (Q)
