This class is a physics survey class, exploring just part of the realm of physics. The focus of this class will be on waves and their relationship to electricity and magnetism. It is intended to give an extremely introductory understanding of this. 

• Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00-2:30 beginning April 29, 2025.

What is Epidemiology?  It’s the study of the origin, determinants, and spread of diseases or disorders within groups of people, including how the diseases or disorders are identified, tracked, controlled, managed, prevented, and possibly cured. Review the impacts of disease in various populations by conducting research and presenting your findings using Google Docs and Slides.

This course is split into two parts: A Biology focus and an Ecology focus. Students are encouraged to complete both parts together but may choose to take just one or the other.  This life science course will focus on the relationship between native plants and their environments and the beneficial role they play. This will include topics such as the cause and effect relationships in ecosystem interactions and biological evolution, the cycling of energy and matter in an ecosystem, and a chance for students to research and plan biodiversity solutions in their community.

The topics covered in this class will give a general idea of how different systems around the Earth, that we live in and rely on every day, impact each other and the broad health of our planet. You will learn about how the ocean regulates the Earth’s temperature, how deserts spread fertile materials to the ocean and beyond, how the atmosphere protects us from the sun, how climate spawns weather, and how natural disasters can ripple across the Earth.

Have you ever wondered what kinds of neat things space contains? Maybe you’ve wanted to know about stars and how they’re formed, maybe why the moon orbits our earth and how it impacts our oceans, even how the sun interacts with the earth and our atmosphere! Scientists have been studying these things for centuries, and only in this day and age have we gotten the best information possible through telescopes, radars, satellites, and other tools that help us. What is “space weather”? How can we use the gravity of stars to magnify light and the images we receive? Why do we see the moon go through phases? Why do solar and lunar eclipses happen? How can we identify stars, the gasses they’re made of, and how bright they are? Is space really so empty? What about asteroids, where do they come from?  How do planets form, and why do they move the way they do? These are all questions we can examine and learn a little bit more about.

This class is meant to look at some of the many ways that color touches our lives through science. This course will look at the scientific principles of color theory - specifically the biology, physics, and chemistry of color.

This course is an introduction to the scientific fields of chemistry, physics, biology, and anatomy &  physiology. Besides learning about topics contained within each discipline, students will learn about real-life applications, careers in the field, and ways to study it further.

Students will participate in a virtual lab from each of the disciplines and then construct lab reports of their processes and findings. Students will learn how scientific inquiry can be used as a critical thinking tool in day-to-day life. This is a great course to prepare for the GED Science test.

This course is for anyone who would like to learn more about the planet we live on - Earth. Learn about Earth's place in the Universe, Earth's systems, and Earth and human activity. This course is appropriate for high school credit and to prepare for the GED Science test.

In this course, students will learn about all things dogs.  From understanding breeds to the physical and evolutionary components of the species.  Students will learn about how a dog’s mind works, how they interact with humans, and how they interact within the canine species.  We will also explore popular dog training methods. Throughout the course, students will learn what it takes to properly care for a canine companion.   Students will have the opportunity to choose a perfect pup and learn how to care for the pup throughout its life.  From feeding, exercise, socialization, health care, and human/canine bonding.
