Course Description This course brings together some of the most fascinating sciences—general, physical, earth, and life sciences—essential for investigating the world. After learning common measurement systems and the essentials of lab safety, students are ready to apply the scientific method to everyday situations such as a broken lamp or a hungry dog. Students learn about matter and energy, and about electromagnetic waves and the electromagnetic spectrum, focusing on the properties of visible light. Earth itself becomes the focus as students study the different geologic eras in Earth’s history, the parts of the planet, and phenomena including earthquakes and volcanoes. Delving into Earth’s past, students examine the fossil record and discover the clues it provides about the histories of numerous species and how they adapted to their environments. Students learn how species change over time through mutation and natural selection. Finally, students explore food webs, the roles of different organisms in an ecosystem, and the reasons that preserving Earth’s limited natural resources through conservation efforts are imperative. Course Breakdown Geological dating Pangaea Plate tectonics Formation of mountains Volcanoes and earthquakes Paleontology Taxonomy Invertebrates Fish Amphibians and reptiles Birds and mammals Evolution Primates Genetics Mutations Asexual and sexual reproduction Trophic levels Producers and consumers Food chains and webs Endangered species Course Goals Describe the changes that have affected Earth's surface over its history. Summarize the movement of the crust and mantle and explain how that leads to the formation of mountains. Compare the causes and effects of volcanoes and earthquakes.

Course Description This course focuses on both the large and small: the smallest structures – the atoms and cells that make up the living and nonliving world around us; and the largest systems – the cycles of the natural world, the interaction of energy and matter, classical mechanics, and the celestial objects throughout the universe. Beginning with classification systems, students learn about the elements and the structure of atoms. Students apply what they learn about temperature scales, the difference between temperature and heat, and chemical reactions to the study of energy and ways matter can change. This understanding of chemistry helps students in their next phase of study: cell function, the life-giving functions of photosynthesis and respiration, the biology of their own bodies, and the genetics that make each living being unique. The focus widens again as students explore classical mechanics: Newton’s Three Laws of Motion and the Law of Universal Gravitation. Students then apply classical mechanics to planetary motion, the effects of the Moon, travel beyond Earth, and the most up-to-date discoveries about the universe. Course Breakdown Elements and the periodic table Atomic orbitals, electron shells, and quantum numbers Mixtures and compounds States of matter Phase changes Solutions and suspensions Scientific method Measurement Energy and temperature in chemical reactions Oxidation and reduction Acids and bases Chemical reactions in the human body Digestive system Endocrine system Cardiovascular system Respiratory system Skeletal system Muscular system Excretory system Nervous system Course Goals Describe the model of the atom and how it has developed over time. Explain quantum numbers and how they relate to the energy of the electrons. Differentiate between the phases of matter and their properties. Demonstrate the conditions necessary for phase changes to occur. Compare the characteristics of solutions, mixtures, colloids, and suspensions. Summarize the factors that affect the rate of a reaction, including enzymes and catalysts. Differentiate between oxidation and reduction reactions. Describe the main organ systems in the body.
