SCIENCE AP Physics
This course is designed principally for students considering a major in physics, astronomy, mathematics, or any type of engineering. It includes study of the various physical relationships described by Newtonian Mechanics, such as motion, momentum, and energy, with emphasis on the mathematical equations that describe those relationships. Additional topics such as fluid mechanics and thermodynamics may also be covered, time permitting. Lectures, class discussions, and assignments will emphasize a problem solving approach to understanding material presented in the text. The laboratory component will include student-designed experiments intended to reinforce this material. Students are encouraged to take the AP Physics C Mechanics exam in May.

Organic Chemistry
The focus of this class involves the scientific study of the structure, properties, and reactions of organic compounds and organic materials, i.e., matter in its various forms that contain carbon atoms. We will investigate the many physical and chemical methods used to determine the chemical composition and the chemical constitution of organic materials and evaluate chemical reactivity, with the aim to understand the behavior of the organic matter in its pure form but also in solutions, mixtures, and fabricated forms. Designed to prepare you for college level courses, this class will cover all major organic functional groups, including nomenclature, stereochemistry and some mechanisms and theory. Emphasis is placed on the reactions and their application in synthesis with a laboratory component for each topic.

AP Biology
This is a college-level course covering units in cells and cellular energetics, heredity, evolution, form and function of plants and animals, and ecology. Because the course is laboratory-based, there is a considerable time commitment for performing lab and collecting data. Laboratories vary widely from chemistry-oriented to the use of live organisms, and students are expected to work in class and lab beyond scheduled meeting times. Some laboratories will be higher tech (inserting a jellyfish gene into bacteria so they glow). Students are encouraged to take the AP exam in May.
