MCHS, 9-12 10 Science D N Life Science
MHS, THS
Offered At Grades Credits College Credit Pre/Co-Req AP/H Grad Req A-G Repeatable Physical / Life

This course is designed to prepare the college-bound student with a solid foundation in the concepts of biological sciences and
chemistry. This course provides the students with knowledge and background in the Biology/Life and Chemistry strands. Homework
and lab work are required.

Pre-AP Biology 260312

BCHS, LHS, 9-10 10 Pre Science D N Life Science
THS
Offered At Grades Credits College Credit Pre/Co-Req AP/H Grad Req A-G Repeatable Physical / Life

This course is designed to prepare the college-bound student with a solid foundation in the concepts of biological sciences and
chemistry as described in the newly adopted Science Content Standards for grades K-12. Since the standards at the high school level
are not grade specific, but instead cover all four years, this course will provide the students with the knowledge and background in
the Biology/Life and Chemistry strands described in the standards so that they will be successful in other high school courses.

BCHS, LHS, Physical
MCHS, 10-12 10 Y Science D N Science
MHS, THS
Offered At Grades Credits College Credit Pre/Co-Req AP/H Grad Req A-G Repeatable Physical / Life

Chemistry is a one year physical science laboratory course. Topics covered include elementary atomic theory, formulas, equation
writing, stoichiometry, heat and heat flow, gases and their behavior, electronic structure of the atom, bonding, periodicity, reaction
rates, equilibrium, acids and bases, and oxidation and reduction. Prerequisite: See site counselor for minimum math requirement.

Chemistry Honors 260712

THS Science
Offered At Grades Credits College Credit Pre/Co-Req AP/H Grad Req A-G Repeatable Physical / Life

Honors/Pre-AP Chemistry is a first-year chemistry course that exceeds the requirements of the Next Generation Science standards for
high school chemistry. Topics studied include measurement, matter, energy & heat, gases, atomic structure, nuclear chemistry,
electronic structure, periodicity & the periodic table, chemical formulas & nomenclature, covalent bonding & molecular geometry,
intermolecular forces, solutions, chemical reactions & equations, oxidation & reduction, the mole, stoichiometry, kinetics &
equilibrium, and acids & bases. Honors Chemistry prepares students to take chemistry for science majors in college, AP Chemistry,
and/or the SAT subject test in chemistry. Prerequisite: See site counselor for minimum math requirement.

MHS
Offered At Grades Credits College Credit Pre/Co-Req AP/H Grad Req A-G Repeatable Physical / Life

This course provides students with the scientific principles, concepts, mathematical relationships and problem solving methodologies
required to understand the fundamental physical laws of the natural world. Students use these understandings to identify and analyze
problems both natural and human-made (engineering related). Lab-based learning is an essential component to this class and all
subject matter is tied to practical, everyday experiences. Prerequisite: See site counselor for minimum math requirement.
