SCIENCE CLASSES  2026-27

COST:  $100.00 per family per semester

• Yes, the cost is per family, not student.  We feel this would be a great family style class for High school and older.  Parents and siblings are encouraged to attend at no additional cost.

AGE TARGET:  High school and older.

Course description:

This course will introduce the science topics most relevant to the study of Biblical Creationism.  There will be a video each week from Educate for Life with Kevin Conover followed by a discussion and relevant activities.

Topics covered include:

•             Fossil record vs. evolution
•             Evidence for a world-wide flood
•             Did man walk with dinosaurs?
•             Age of the earth
•             Genetic mutations and Intelligent Design
•             Irreducible complexity  and thermodynamics
•             The Big Bang and the anthropic principle
•             Scientific hoaxes
•             Evolutionary ethics
•             Answering atheism

Note: Lab supplies will be provided when students are In-Person for class. For online students, a supply list will be provided so they may do the experiments with us. The cost of lab supplies should also be covered by charter school funds if purchased through an approved vendor.

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

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 (IF POSSIBLE THIS YEAR)

IMPORTANT: Beginning 2025-2026, The Glencoe Life Science text will be the required text. 

Cost of class: $475.00/semester.

This course may be for late Jr High or early High School (8th-9th) and is an introduction to chemistry and physics. It is highly recommended that students take this class prior to high school chemistry and physics. A basic understanding of algebra (how to solve for one unknown) is required.

Textbook required:

Glencoe Physical Science
Textbook: ISBN13: 9780078945830, MHID: 0078945836
Publisher: GLEN, 2011, 2012

Note: Lab supplies will be provided when students are In-Person for class.

This A-G level biology course is designed to take the student through a general study of living matter. Students will learn basic biological principles and explore the diversity of life on Earth. They will study the present form and function of organisms, from cells to organ systems, from simple viruses to complex Homo sapiens. There are more than twenty-five hand-on lab/lab activities covering such topics as:

• Biochemistry
• Cell Biology
• Microbiology
• Bacteria
• Viruses
• Fungi
• Protists
• Plants
• Animals & animal behavior
• Ecology

Along with a variety of dissections and modeling, there are student-led investigations that allow the student to pursue individualized areas of inquiry.  In addition, students will learn microscopic and aseptic techniques together with laboratory safety and proficiency.

Emphasis will be on disciplinary core ideas (content), scientific practices, and crosscutting concepts, coupling practice with content to apply the material in a meaningful way to the world, and analyzing & proposing ways to minimize human impacts on biodiversity.  The year culminates in a student-led multi-week lab project with a poster presentation and an optional field trip.

A textbook is required: 

General Chemistry is a first-year introductory A-G level class that explores chemical phenomena. Through lectures, class discussions, small group activities, homework, labs, and class lab challenges, students will explore chemical concepts as they apply to the world around them. Emphasis will be on disciplinary core concepts, both qualitative and quantitative laboratory inquiry, mathematical modeling of key concepts, and the process of scientific inquiry. Topics include but are not limited to: modeling the atom (nuclear & subatomic), understanding properties of mater at the bulk scale, chemical bonding, understanding and modeling chemical reactions, moles, stoichiometry, properties of solutions and concentration/dilution, thermodynamics, reaction rate, dynamic equilibria, acid/base, reduction/oxidation (redox) and gases. We focus a lot in this class on the chemical effects of human activity on the environment and using chemistry to offer viable solutions.   This class culminates in an engineering applications unit on bioplastics and their effects on the environment. Class meets weekly for 2 hours and includes keeping a scientific journal.
