2020-21 High School Course Selection Guide


Placement guidelines and includes all the advanced chemistry topics for the AP examination. The course is for students with a strong commitment to science who are planning to take the Advanced Placement examination in Chemistry. In order to provide students with a true college-level laboratory program, the class meets 8 times per week.


Prerequisites: Successful completion of Biology .


Advanced Placement Physics C: Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism (12) 8 periods


1.6 credits


This course is designed to prepare students for the Advanced Placement Physics C examination and satisfies the guidelines of the Advanced Placement Program. Approximately one half of the year is devoted to advanced mechanics concepts, and the remainder to an advanced treatment of electricity and magnetism topics. The use of calculus in problem solving and derivations increases as the course progresses. In order to provide students with a true college-level laboratory program, the class meets 8 times per week. Prerequisite:


enrollment in Chemistry. Current enrollment in Honors/Accelerated Honors Pre-Calculus or successful completion of Pre-Calculus.


Successful completion or Brandywine Flows Honors (12) .5 credit/semester course


The intention of this course is to be an elective course taken concurrently or following the traditional biology, chemistry, and physics route. Brandywine Flows is an environmental education course focused on the Brandywine watershed and its influence on our community. Through field trips, hands-on activities, and research, students use math, social science, science, and language arts to learn how the local community functions based on its water resources.


Prerequisite: Successful completion of Chemistry 1.


Tere are 6 NEW WCASD science courses that will be offered on a rotating basis. One selection from the areas of biology, chemistry, and physics will be offered each year. For 2020-2021, the courses offered are Termodynamics and Optics, Human Anatomy and Infectious Disease, and Consumer and Green Chemistry. For 2021-2022, the courses are Electronics and Acoustics, Aquatic Ecology and Marine Biology, and Organic Chemistry and Forensics. Tese are elective classes for Junior and Senior students.

Consumer and Green Chemistry Honors (11, 12)


6 periods


Blended learning class - 2 days double lab periods in-class/ 1 day in-class / 1 day online learning


1.2 credits


Students will explore present and future energy sources, methods for food and drug development, and the ethical issues surrounding the design, use, and disposal of products. With the goal of minimizing hazardous substances, students will use the principles of green chemistry to evaluate the engineering and manufacturing of consumer products.


Human Anatomy and Infectious Disease Honors(11, 12) 6 periods


Blended learning class - 2 days double lab periods in- class/ 1 day in-class / 1 day online learning


Prerequisites: Successful completion of Biology and Chemistry.


1.2 credits


This course focuses on human anatomy and infectious diseases, covering the structural components of body systems, such as the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory, and immune systems. The course emphasizes the interactions among these systems and how they are impacted by infectious diseases. In addition, the principles of how pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses, and other microbes, cause disease, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. There will be laboratory work including microscopic examination of prepared slides, development of dissection skills, and microbiology culturing and staining techniques.


Prerequisites: Successful completion of Biology and Chemistry.


Thermodynamics and Optics Honors (11, 12)


6 periods


Blended learning class - 2 days double lab periods in- class/ 1 day in-class / 1 day online learning


1.2 credits


The goal of this course is to explore the physics of thermodynamics and optics.


During the


thermodynamics portion, students will explore the fundamentals of engines, energy transfer, and efficiency. During the optics portion, students will explore the nature of light, wave propagation, light transmission and reflection, mirrors and lenses, and the optics involved in everyday items and the human eye. This course will make extensive use
