This course will
be taught in two consecutive hours for students who are
challenged in their basic skills of math and science.
Essentially the same topics are covered as in Physical
Science but the text, experiments, and discussions are
set to the level of the students. Basic math skills will
be introduced, applied, and drilled within the context
of physical science and real life applications.

This required
course is to introduce students to laboratory procedures,
writing of laboratory reports, elementary data analysis,
graphing skills using experimental data and for the development
of fundamental concepts. The exploration of various topics
ranging from the nucleus of the atom to the density of
materials is done by experiments and post-lab discussions.
The strong emphasis on experiments provides basics necessary
for the scientific methodology used in the following science
courses.

This required
alternate course is for those students whose reading and/or
math skills are below the level necessary for them to
be successful in the Physical Science course. Essentially
the same topics are covered as in Physical Science but
the text, experiments and discussions are set to the level
of the students. Normally, these students register for
Life Science in their sophomore year.

(Required Alt.) 1 |
This required
course examines the nature of living things—plant,
animal and human. Their structure, growth, workings, reproduction,
and their relationships to the rest of creation are stressed.
Considerable emphasis is put on lab work.

This course is
designed for students who have special interests and abilities
in the life sciences. The course is designed to help students
understand, explain, analyze and interpret biological
processes that God uses to sustain His living creation.
Students will be expected to spend some time outside of
the regular class period in laboratory activities. Students
are also encouraged to take the Advanced Placement exam
in Biology.

This course is
an alternative to Biology as a required science course
for sophomores. The course is not accepted as a prerequisite
for college entry. This is a non-technical examination
of God's creation. Included is the study of plant and
animal life, the human body and its systems and the manner
in which God intended all these parts to work together.

This elective
course is open to students who have successfully completed
Algebra 1 or Algebra Concepts. It features a study of
chemical compounds and their reactions. Theoretical interpretations
and practical applications are stressed. The laboratory
work is designed to allow a student to discover the principles
involved or to verify the working of the principles.

This Course is
designed to be the equivalent to the general chemistry
course usually taken during the first college year. The
course will teach the fundamentals and competence in dealing
with chemical problems. In addition, the course will contribute
to the development of students' abilities to think clearly
and express their ideas, orally and in writing, with clarity
and logic. Students will be expected to spend some time
outside of the regular class period in laboratory activities.
Pre-req: Successful completion of Chemistry
and Physics (or Advanced Physics) and department approval.
May be concurrently enrolled in Physics. |
