2021-22 High School Course Selection Guide
and concurrent enrollment in Career & College Prep Algebra 2 or higher level math course.
Advanced Placement Physics 1 Algebra- Based (11, 12) 1.6 credits 8 Periods
Blended learning class - 2 days double lab periods in-class/ 2 days in-class / 1 day 2 periods online learning
AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, introductory
college-level physics course. Students cultivate their understanding of Physics through inquiry- based investigations as they explore topics such as Newtonian mechanics (including rotational motion); work, energy, and power; mechanical waves and sound; and introductory, simple circuits.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Chemistry 1 and concurrent enrollment in Honors/Accelerated Honors Pre-Calculus or successful Completion of Chemistry 1 and Pre-Calculus.
Earth Science Career & College Prep (11,12) .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. The curriculum is an exploration of the principles and processes that shape the earth. Topics include the structure of the earth, rocks and minerals, weathering and erosion, historical geology, and geomorphology.
Prerequisites: Successful completion of Biology and Chemistry.
Earth & Space Science Honors (11, 12) 1 credit
Honors Earth Science examines the continuum of earth, atmosphere and space science. Topics include the forces and processes shaping the earth, atmospheric circulation and weather and the solar system, as well as objects and processes in deep space. Teaching will focus on the scientific principles underlying observed phenomena. Mathematical modeling and extensive use of technology are integral parts of the course.
Prerequisites: Successful completion of Biology and Chemistry.
Space Science Career & College Prep (11, 12) .5 credit/semester course
The intention of this course is to be an elective
- course offered in WC Cyber Program
22
course taken concurrently or following the traditional biology, chemistry, and physics route. The Space Science curriculum encompasses the principles and processes that shape our universe. Topics include weather, climate, the origin and composition of the universe, the solar system, stars, and galaxies.
Prerequisites: Successful completion of Biology and Chemistry.
Advanced Placement Biology (11, 12) 1.6 credits 8 periods Designed to be the equivalent of a two-semester college introductory biology course, the focus of this course is on building an understanding of the major themes in modern biology (evolution, energy transfer in organisms, diversity of life, relationship of structures and function, and systems regulation and control). In order to provide students with a true college-level
laboratory program, the class
meets 8 times per week. Chemistry knowledge and skills are required. Students are prepared to take the Biology AP examination near the conclusion of the course.
Advanced Placement Chemistry (11, 12) 1.6 credits 8 periods This course is designed to satisfy Advanced 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) 1.6 credits 8 periods 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
