Middle School Earth Science
*Two-semester course
In this course, students will explore Earth’s natural processes, phenomena, and the interactions between its systems. Through hands-on lab investigations and activities, students will engage with key topics in astronomy, geology, meteorology, and environmental science to better understand the forces that shape our planet.
Lab investigations, included in a separate lab manual, guide students in observing, collecting data, analyzing results, and drawing evidence-based conclusions.
By the end of the course, students will have a deeper appreciation for Earth’s dynamic systems and a strong foundation in scientific inquiry and problem-solving.
Middle School Life Science
*Two-semester course
In this course, students will explore the fascinating world of living organisms and ecosystems, studying topics such as plant cell division and reproduction, classification systems, invertebrates and vertebrates, animal life cycles, ecosystems, and the human body.
A strong emphasis is placed on using the scientific method to analyze findings, draw connections between biological concepts, and develop a deeper understanding of life’s interconnected systems. Through hands-on investigations, students will strengthen their skills in objective observation, data collection, and scientific analysis.
By the end of the course, students will not only have a strong foundation in life science principles but also the critical thinking and inquiry skills necessary to explore the complex relationships between organisms and their environments.
Middle School Physical Science
*Two-semester course
This course explores the fundamental principles of physical science, including mass, matter, force, energy, sound, light, color, electricity, magnetism, and mechanics. Through hands-on experiments and investigations, students will develop a deeper understanding of the forces and phenomena that shape the physical world.
To prepare students for more advanced scientific study, emphasis is placed on objective observation skills, precise use of scientific terminology in writing, and the application of careful methodology and data analysis.
By the end of the course, students will have strengthened their ability to think critically, conduct experiments systematically, and communicate scientific concepts effectively, building a strong foundation for future exploration in physics and chemistry.
High School Biology
*Two-semester course earning one high school science credit REQUIRED
In this course, students will immerse themselves in the study of living organisms, exploring the interconnected concepts that define the natural world. Through observation, inquiry, and experimentation, students will develop a deeper understanding of biological systems while honing their ability to ask questions, form explanations, and compare their findings to current scientific knowledge.
Students will engage in comprehension and critical thinking exercises, hands-on activities, and lab investigations, reinforcing key concepts and encouraging scientific exploration. By the end of the course, students will have strengthened their analytical skills, scientific communication, and ability to apply the principles of life science to real-world phenomena.
Coursebooks and textbooks will be distributed on loan to students. Students will need to purchase their own lab books through SCA, EMA, or another online option.
Required Texts:
Biology - Holt McDougal Biology: Student Edition 2019
High School Chemistry
*Two-semester course earning one high school science credit
Teacher: Ms. Jessica
This rigorous, hands-on course provides students with a comprehensive introduction to chemistry, covering essential concepts, tools, terminology, mathematical principles, and scientific practices. Through experiments, inquiry-based activities, and real-world applications, students will develop a strong foundation in chemical principles while sharpening their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
The course includes 16 in-depth labs and numerous quick labs and hands-on activities that reinforce the scientific method, data analysis, and the power of observation. Students will explore topics such as:
By the end of the course, students will have developed a deep understanding of chemistry and its applications, preparing them for more advanced scientific study while fostering a lifelong appreciation for the role of chemistry in the world around them.
