The course will include the fundamentals of computing, (including problem solving), working with data,
understanding the Internet, cybersecurity, and programming. The goal of this course is to broaden the skills
for future study or for a career in computer science or other STEM fields.

Prerequisite: One full credit of Physical & Earth Science and Algebra 1, or recommendation of
science department coordinator. Honors Biology is a rigorous course that follows the topics of Biology
but with a fast pace and greater depth. Topics include evolutionary biology, diversity and interdependence
of living things, cellular biology, and the molecular basis of heredity. Emphasis is placed on the use of the
microscope and the comparative anatomy and physiology of different organisms. There is also an emphasis
on proper lab technique and technology. This is an excellent course to take for students who are interested
in taking AP Science classes in later years, though it is not a prerequisite for these classes. A Scientific
Calculator is a necessity. Computer use and technology will be integral to this class. A standardized
End-of-Course exam, mandated by the State of Ohio is required for this course.

Honors Chemistry is a rigorous course that follows the topics of general Chemistry but with a faster pace
and greater depth. Greater emphasis is placed on the mathematical treatment of chemical topics, such as
equilibrium, acid-base, and thermodynamics. This is an excellent course for students who are interested in
taking AP Science classes in later years, though it is not a prerequisite for these classes. A Scientific
Calculator is a necessity. Computer use and technology will be integral to this class.

Honors Physics is a rigorous course that follows the topics of Physics but with a faster pace and greater
depth. The student should have an excellent working knowledge of Algebra. Topics include: classical
mechanics (Newton’s Laws, rotational motion, momentum, and energy), waves, geometrical optics, and
electricity. This course is designed to prepare the student for further work in science, engineering, or health
sciences. This course will prepare students for the AP Physics 1 course. In physics there is a great deal of
emphasis on analytical problem solving. A scientific calculator is a necessity. Computer use and
technology will be integral to this class.
