Course Title: Physical Science Integrated

Course/Unit Credit: 1.0

Course Code: 423000            

Grade: 9

Description:

Physical science is a study of matter and energy and their relationships. Students develop an understanding for matter and the everyday application of physical science principles. Topics include measurement and motion, patterns, and changes in matter, light and sound, and energy resources.

Course Title: Biology Integrated

Course/Unit Credit: 1.0          

Course Code: 420000

Grade: 10-12

Description:

This is an intensive course designed to enhance the knowledge, lab skills, and study habits needed to be successful in any first-year college biology course. The course, more rigorous than Biology Integrated, is a study of organisms from simple through complex forms and includes the use of the microscope, dissection, and laboratory experiments. The nature of pathogenic organisms and the diseases they produce will also be included.

Course Title: Chemistry Integrated

Course/Unit Credit: 1.0

Course Code: 421000
