The aim of this lab course is to provide the student with an opportunity to develop an understanding and
appreciation of the human as an organism, interdependent upon other organisms, and adapted for change in a
constantly changing biological, chemical, and physical environment. The course includes basic microbiology,
cytology, human anatomy, and human physiology. Unit topics include: the living organisms; energy needs;
growth and repair; control and integration of the body; mechanisms for protection; and continuity of life.
Dissection of a cat is an integral part of this course.

In Horticulture, the students explore many topics both in the classroom and in the greenhouse. These
topics range from plant physiology, adaptations for different environments, growth requirements (nutrients,
soil, light, water, other environmental factors), choosing the correct plants for the local area, propagating
and caring for both indoor and outdoor plants, integrated pest management, and utilization of the correct
fertilizer. This course cannot count toward the science requirement for graduation.
