SCIENCE

Students will expand their knowledge of scientific processes as they apply to the nature of living systems. Extensive discussions and many lab activities relating to biology concepts, terms and theories provide a foundation for understanding the living world.

This course is designed to prepare students for Advanced Placement Biology. The class is lab-oriented and designed to provide an introduction to biological topics stressed in the advanced placement course. Students will learn process skills involved in scientific problem solving which will allow them to become self starters and independent workers in the AP course. Areas stressed will be molecular biology, environmental science, and phylogeny. All laboratory exercises are designed to reinforce concepts and process skills.

Introduces the student to the basic concepts of physics and chemistry. Topics include safety, scientific methods, measurement, mechanics, optics, acoustics, electricity magnetism and the basic concepts of general chemistry.

This course is designed to give a basic knowledge of atomic structure as it relates to the chemical behavior of elements. Laboratory activities are utilized in helping students understand chemistry.

Students will study the structured properties of matter with a strong emphasis on the mathematics of chemistry.

Students will study the structured properties of matter with a strong emphasis on the mathematics of chemistry. Due to extensive lab work, this course content is spread across multiple class periods.

Student is given the opportunity to take the Advanced Placement exam at the end of the course for college credit.

The College Board's AP Biology program provides abled and motivated students with an opportunity to pursue college level biological studies. The three main areas covered are molecules and cells, genetics and evolution, and organisms and populations which include quantitative laboratory experiences.

Student is given the opportunity to take the Advanced Placement exam at the end of the course for college credit.

This course is for non-science majors.

Blinn Biology 1308

Provides a survey of biological principles with an emphasis on humans, including chemistry of life, cells, structure, function, and reproduction.

Blinn Biology 1108

This laboratory-based course accompanies Blinn BIOL 1308, Biology for Non-Science Majors I. Laboratory activities will reinforce a survey of biological principles with an emphasis on humans, including chemistry of life, cells, structure, function, and reproduction.

This course will fill 2 periods of the student's schedule.

Physics explores the interrelationship between matter and energy. This course requires a strong mathematics background because mathematics is the language used to describe abstract ideas. Topics will include motion, force, vector analysis, thermodynamics, work, and waves. Process skill acquisition and problem solving will be stressed.

Strong mathematical principles are a requirement for this course. Topics to be discussed would be electricity, magnetism, mechanics, and waves. Laboratory experiences are analytically based and relate directly to current classroom topics.

A college level physics course covering mechanics, electricity, and magnetism, fluids and thermodynamics, waves, optics, and modern physics. This course is an excellent opportunity for students considering a career in science or engineering fields. Problem solving will be rigorous. hands-on laboratory investigations and inquiry activities will be included.

Student is given the opportunity to take the Advanced Placement exam at the end of the course for college credit.

This course is designed to provide students with scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving them. Laboratory and field investigations are diverse and interwoven into the curriculum.
