Junior High and High School Classes

Grades:  6th – 7th

This class will include such topics as:

• intro. to cell biology
• protein synthesis
• photosynthesis
• genetics
• origins
• ecology

We will also cover classification and will conduct a brief survey of the kingdoms including:

• archaebacteria
• eubacteria
• protists
• fungi
• plants
• animals including:
  • invertebrates
  • arthropods
  • vertebrates
  • viruses

A brief study of some of the systems of the human body is also included.  This course meets weekly for 1.5 hours (45 min. of lecture, 45 min. of lab). Weekly homework assignments from the textbook, lab reports and handouts will be completed by the students at home each week. Tests will be taken online at home and are to be administered by their parent. One in-class practicum test will be given by the instructor.  A textbook is required with two choices for text books available as listed on Life Science Texbooks.

Grades:  8th – 9th

This class will cover material in the following areas:

• method of scientific study
• energy and motion
• acceleration and momentum
• matter (solid, liquid, gas)
• atomic structure and chemical bonds
• properties of substances
• light
• sound waves
• electrical phenomena
• electronics
• nuclear reactions
• energy sources

The class will meet for 90 minutes once a week. This course includes lecture, hands-on labs, homework assignments, tests, and a science fair project.

A textbook is required – see Physical Science Textbook.

LEVEL:  High School – Grade Level 9-10
COST:  $350/Semester +$50 Lab Fee (includes lab materials and lab book)-only pay lab fee for first semester.
This class will include such topics as:
•        intro. chemistry
•        cell biology
•        protein synthesis

This course meets weekly for 2 hours (1 hour of lecture, 1 hour of lab). Weekly homework assignments from the textbook, lab reports and handouts will be completed by the students at home each week. There will be 1-2 long-term projects. Tests will be sent home with the student to be administered by their parent and returned to class the following week. Two in-class practicum tests will be given by the instructor.

available on www.science2u.com. Look under secondary textbooks.

Pre-requisite:  completion of Algebra 1

This class will include such topics as:

• structure of the atom
• elements of the periodic table
• chemical bonding
• molecular structure and reactivity
• mole concepts and stoichiometry
• gases, acids & bases, and solutions
• reaction rates and chemical equilibrium
• redox reactions and electrochemistry
• introduction to biochemistry and organic chemistry

There will be a significant emphasis on laboratory practice, with weekly labs and/or demonstrations, along with computation for quantitative analysis. In addition, practice questions for the SAT II chemistry subject test will be included and discussed on a regular basis.

This course meets weekly for 2.5 hours . Weekly homework assignments from the textbook, lab notebooks and handouts will be completed by the students at home each week. Tests will be sent home with the student to be administered by their parent and returned to class the following week.
