Newton's Laws of Motion Videos ... Please navigate to the following website and visit the "video" section in the middle of the page. All seven of the videos starting with "Newton's First Law" are excellent. These are all "United Streaming" Videos, a subscriber service, and the school hosting this web page has provided public access to all of these videos. By scrolling down the page, videos on the second and third laws are available. All are very well done.

Physical Science
1.0 credit |
Physical Science is a course designed for those students interested in the study of both chemistry and physics. Chemistry topics include: atomic structure, the periodic table, writing formulas, chemical equations, and an introduction to organic chemistry. Topics in the area of physics include: mechanics, heat, light, sound and an introduction to electricity and magnetism. This course includes a strong laboratory component and students are required to submit laboratory reports. |
Biology
1.0 credit |
Biology is the study of life and living things. This laboratory oriented course focuses on topics related to living things such as: zoology, genetics, botany, taxonomy, microbiology and cellular structure and function. This course provides a strong base for other biological sciences a student may encounter in further education. |
Botany And Zoology
0.5 Credit
|
This laboratory course deals with the biology of plants and animals. Topics covered include taxonomy (classification), macro and microscopic structures, the physiology of plants and animals and the ecological role of plants and animals will also be discussed. Dissection is required.
|
Principles of Genetics And Biotechnology
0.5 Credit
|
This laboratory course deals with the structure and function of DNA and the role of genes in heredity. The course also examines how humans are using biotechnology to manipulate and change the natural process of the flow of genetic information. The risks and benefits of the use of biotechnology will be discussed. |
Anatomy And Physiology
0.5 credit |
This course acquaints the students with the structure and function of the human body. The major body systems are covered: integumentary, muscular, skeletal, digestive, circulatory, nervous, respiratory, reproductive, endocrine and urinary. A variety of laboratory activities are provided including dissection. This one semester course is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in the allied health services. |
Chemistry
1.0 credit |
Chemistry is the study of matter, its composition, the changes it undergoes and its relationship with energy. This course assists students in developing critical thinking and problem solving skills that can be used not only in Chemistry but also in everyday life. Topics studied include atomic structure and electron configuration, chemical formulas and reactions, stoichiometry, gases and solutions, acid-base reactions, and organic and biochemistry. The experiments performed in the laboratory are considered to be an essential component of this course. This course is especially recommended for college bound students. |
Chemistry in the Community
1.0 Credit
|
Chemistry in the Community provides a conceptually based chemistry program for those students whoa re not interested in pursuing a career in theAllied Health Services or other science related program. This course will emphasize chemistry's impact on society and revolves around societal questions that create a need to know and understand chemistry to find a solution. |
Physics
1.0 credit |
Physics is the study of the relationships between matter and energy. These relationships include the study of mechanics, heat, light, sound, electricity and magnetism. Selected topics in laser optics, solid state devices, relativity and basic electronics are introduced to the student. Problem solving techniques as well as concept development is utilized in this course. A background in Physics is imperative for the student pursuing a career in the sciences or health fields and is a must for any student curious about the physics universe in which we live. The laboratory component is vital to the study of physics and all students are required to submit laboratory reports. |
College Physics
