STEAM Physics is designed for students who want to work with their hands; this is a conceptual physics class that is project based. This course covers similar material to a traditional physics class but applies those concepts while creating and producing physical machines. Focus first semester will be projects revolving around Newtonian Mechanics and second semester will focus on projects that include Electricity, Light, and Sound. This class covers the LVUSD Physical Science
Requirement and counts as a UC-d lab science.

GRADES 9, 10, 11, 12 UC/CSU: Subject G
This course will introduce students to the field of forensics. By participating in hands-on labs, discussions, and data analysis, students will be able to experience first-hand some of the techniques, theories, and situations that those in the field experience every day. This course will also integrate student experiences and knowledge from other science courses offered.
Students will work in engineering teams to design, build and test increasingly complex robots. The course will illustrate the engineering design process, the importance of integrating sensors,
