The Ag Science pathway integrates biological science and agricultural practices, starting with Sustainable Agriculture Biology, where students learn life science principles applied to sustainable farming. As students progress, they study the physical and chemical nature of soil and its impact on agriculture in the Ag Soil and Chemistry course, followed by Ag Systems Management, where they design systems and experiments to address real-world agricultural challenges. Ag Science courses meet LPHS graduation and UC/CSU credit for admissions. These courses also meet CTE Agriscience pathway requirements.

UCCI Ag Biology
UCCI Ag Biology
Ag Biology is the introduction course for the Ag Science pathway. Ag Biology is a year-long course that combines biological science with agricultural practices to explore sustainable farming. The course is divided into units, each centered around a guiding question, linking life science concepts with real-world agricultural applications. Students will develop a sustainable farm model and a research-based portfolio as a final project. Participation in FFA activities and the development of a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) are required.
Soil Chemistry
Soil Chemistry
Soil Chemistry is the concentrator course in the Ag Science pathway. This course examines the physical and chemical properties of soil and how they relate to plant and animal production in agriculture. Students apply their knowledge by creating a capstone soil management plan for agricultural use. Participation in FFA activities and the development of a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) are required.
Ag Systems Management
Ag Systems Management
Ag Systems Management is the capstone course of the Ag Science Pathway. This integrated course combines lab science, research, and agricultural management to address real-world industry challenges. Students apply their skills to design systems and experiments. Participation in FFA activities and the development of a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) are required.
