| The Earth Science A course will cover many of the foundations of science and the Earth's lithosphere. The foundations of science introduce concepts like the scientific method, science, technology, scientific measurement, experiment, and a quick overview of matter and energy. The Earth's lithosphere will address concepts such as the Earth's interior, plate tectonics, Earthquakes, volcanoes, minerals, rocks, weathering, erosion, soil, and geological history. | ||||

The Earth Science B course will go over the Earth's hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere, and exosphere.
The hydropshere section is about the natural states of matter, water cycle, oceanography, fresh water, and pollution of the hydrosphere. The atmosphere section discusses composition, insolation, temperature, pressure, humidity, clouds, precipitation, wind, air masses, storms, acid rain, and ozone depletion. The biosphere will be covered lightly as this would be a review of biology or life science. The exosphere deals with the Earth and its place in the solar system, and universe. |

Introduction to Biology A is a scientific course which covers the basic life science concepts. Topics covered include biology and other sciences, biology around us, the process of science, characteristics of living things, the chemistry of life, cells, genetics, evolution, ecology, and the human impact on our environment. The course is interactive with at home labs, visual concepts, web links, and real life activities and observations of the students’ science surroundings. The students will leave this course with an awareness of the science around them that they encounter on a daily basis. Since this course covers the basic foundations of biology, it is a good prerequisite to biology but not required.
