Science Sequence of Courses: 3 required for graduation
Explore the building blocks of the physical world! In this course, you’ll investigate matter, energy, forces, and waves while discovering how they interact in everyday life. Through labs, models, and engineering challenges, you’ll use scientific thinking to explain natural phenomena and meet all NGSS performance expectations for high school physical science.
Uncover how matter behaves and transforms! In this course, you’ll explore chemical reactions, energy, and the structure of atoms while connecting chemistry to real-world systems and engineering. You’ll use math, data, and experimentation to explain natural phenomena and solve problems. Students will meet all NGSS performance expectations for high school chemistry.
REQUIRED FOR GRADUATION
Explore the living world and how it works! In this course, you’ll study cells, genetics, ecosystems, energy flow, evolution, and the connections that sustain life on Earth. Through labs and inquiry-based learning, you’ll apply science and engineering practices to explain natural phenomena and solve real-world problems. Meets all NGSS performance expectations for biology.
