PHYSICAL SCIENCE (3202) - The course is designed to introduce students to the basic concepts of chemistry and physics, their relation to technological developments, and career opportunities dependent upon knowledge of the physical sciences. 1 credit
GEOLOGY (3205) - A basic course involving the forces that shape the earth. Special emphasis will be placed on rock formations, fossils, weathering. Students will take a tour through time involving the changes of the earth has under-went. Labs will involve fossil collecting, chemical reactions concerning rock structure, and field activities assigned by instructor. Completion of Biology 1 is a required prerequisite. 1 credit
BIOLOGY I (3210) Gateway Exam course - A course which involves the study of life from the basic structure, the cell, and the more complex systems of animal and plants. Students will get a "hands on" concept of the basic structure and the systems of living things through the use of microscopes, dissections and other lab experiments which will enable to understand the classification and differentiation of varied life forms. Students must at least be a sophomore. 1 credit
BIOLOGY II (3216) - A course which involves an in depth study of complex systems of animals and plants. Students who take Biology II will be required to do independent research on assigned topics throughout the course. In addition to research, students will be involved in the dissecting of three to five organisms, preparing microscopic slides, and participation in field studies. Completion of Biology I is a required prerequisite. 1 credit
CHEMISTRY I (3221) - An introductory course aimed at giving students a working knowledge of how chemical processes surround them in daily life. Material from the atomic structure through complex organic molecules will be covered. There is a heavy

emphasis on the mathematics of chemistry, and students must have completed at least Algebra I and Biology I with at least a B average, or receive instructor approval, in order to take this course. 1 credit
CHEMISTRY II (3224) - This course is a rigorous study of the compositions, properties, and change associated with matter. 1 credit
PHYSICS (3231) - This course is the study of the interrelationships between matter and energy. Topics of study include force, motion, momentum, energy, heat light sound, electricity and magnetism, and atomic and nuclear physics. Prerequisite for this course is at least a B in algebra II and teacher permission.. This course will be offered every other year starting in 2003. 1 credit
ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY (3251) - This course will provide a familiarity with the anatomical structures of the human body, as well as, an appreciation of the physiological processes that make human life possible. Anatomy is defined as the study of the internal and external structures of the body and the physical relationships between body parts. Physiology is the study organisms perform their vital functions. Prerequisites are Biology I and Chemistry I. This course will be offered every other year starting in 2002. 1 credit
ECOLOGY (3255) - A comprehensive course which shows the connection between science, technology, and society. This course relates science to environmental issues of the day, allowing students to apply his/her knowledge. Students will study and debate global, sectional, and local issues. After completing this course, the student should have an understanding of his/her role in our environment. 1 credit
