Seventh grade life science focuses on the study of living things and how they
interact with the world around them. Eighth grade earth science is a study
of the Earth and how the earth reacts with itself and the universe. Ninth Grade General Science Ninth grade science is a two-part course. Half of the year will be spent studying environmental science, which is the study of humans interacting with the environment. The other half will be spent studying physical science, covering the topics of force and motion, matter, chemistry, electricity, magnetism, and energy. The Grad Standard addressed in this course is Environmental Systems-High School, Physical Systems-Middle School. Biology Biology is the study of living things in the world around us and how they interact with each other and with humans. This course will take a hands-on approach, utilizing lab experiments, activities, and field trips. The Grad Standard addressed in this course is Scientific Concepts and Applications: Concepts in Biology. Chemistry Chemistry is the study of the composition and behavior of matter and how it is a part of our daily lives. This course will take a hands-on approach, utilizing lab experiments and activities. The prerequisite for Chemistry is to pass Integrated Math II with a "C" or better or consent of instructor and principal. The Grad Standard addressed in this course is Scientific Concepts and Applications: Concepts in Chemistry. Physics Physics is the study of why things behave as they do in the physical world. This course will take a hands-on approach, utilizing lab experiments and activities. The prerequisite for Physics is to pass Integrated Math III with a "C" or better or consent of instructor and principal.
