Environmental Science
This is a lab science course designed to provide students with a biological perspective of our environment. The course offers students insight and a global understanding of our environment. Students learn how scientists use science to solve environmental issues. Major topics covered are ecosystems, such as water, air and land pollution, habitat destruction and population growth, leading students to discover how to build a sustainable future.
AP Biology
This course is designed to be the equivalent of a college introductory lab science Biology course usually taken by Biology majors during their first year of college. Biology AP includes those topics regularly covered in a college Biology course. Students should have demonstrated several qualities, such as interest, aptitude, creativity, motivation, and maturity. The student who selects this course should understand that the course demands time and effort well beyond that of a typical high school Biology course. This course is intended to fulfill a second year of Biology. This course will help prepare students for the Biology AP examination, resulting in college credit for those students who score very well on the exam. This course has a summer academic component.
