Science

Biology deals mainly with the structural make-up of living things and the method by which these structures function. It culminates in a survey of the living things on this planet. Intro to Biology covers the above topics in less detail and is designed for the General Studies students.
(Full year course–1.0 credit)

Biology II

Biology II is a second course in biology emphasizing anatomy and physiology. The course uses lecture, lab and research as basic teaching techniques.
(Full year course–1.0 credit)

Chemistry 

Chemistry is an introductory course covering the basic concepts of the science. The approach to the topics is theoretical and requires sound mathematical skills. General Chemistry presents these concepts using vary basic mathematical skills.

Environmental Geography 

This dual-credit course through LCCC explores the human interaction and the impact on the physical and biological environment. This class is offered to juniors and seniors and is a preresquisite for GIS.
(Semester course–.05 credits)

GIS: Geographic Information Systems 

This is a one-semester course, offered during the second semester for juniors and seniors with use of the computer lab. The purpose of the course is to learn GIS which is a computer system that can store, retrieve, and display spartial data.
(Semester course–.05 credits)

Physical Geography-Dual Credit with LCCC 3 credit hours

This  course investigates the interrelationship of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Various physical processes such as earthquakes, volcanism, and plate tectonics are used to discuss the earth as a dynamic planet.

AP Chemistry

An in-depth course designed to build upon the basics learned in chemistry I. This course involves multi-step problems and details the how and why of chemical bonds and the energy exchanges involved. An AP test will be given at the end of the course.

Physical Science

Physical Science serves as an introduction to the fields of chemistry and physics. Here we cover a range of topics in which we explore the composition and characteristics of matter and how the intertactions between atoms shape our world. We then specialize on the particular interactions of matter and energy as we introduce and strive to understand the nature of physics as an intergal part of our existence. Through scientific inquiry, laboratory experimentation, peer to peer learning, and individual research/projects we develop the skills needed, as scientists, to better understand the world in which we live. We question, hypothesis, experiment and conclude through a constant desire to expand our knowledge of the world and ourselves.

AP Physics

AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. Students cultivate their understanding of physics through inquiry-based investigations as they explore these topics: kinematics, dynamics, circular motion and gravitation, energy, momentum, simple harmonic motion, torque and rotational motion.
(Full year course–1.0 credit)

AP Physics II

AP Environmental Science (Junior-Senior Level)

This is a college level course that provides instruction in the following seven areas: earth systems and resources, the living world, population, land and water use, energy resources and consumption, pollution, and global change. This course will provide students with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world. It includes methods for analyzing and interpreting information and experimental data, including mathematical calculations. It also teaches students how to identify and analyze enviromnent problems, to evaluate the ecological and human health risks associated with these problems, and to critically examine various solutions for resolving or preventing them. This will be accomplished through various discussions and investigation including lab and field work.
