This course is a general study of the fundamentals of biological science. Included in the study are: use of the microscope; biochemical aspects of life science; cell structure and function; photosynthesis; cellular respiration; and identification, classification.  Also included is a general study of mitosis, meiosis, genetics, plants, protists, ecology, and functions of living systems.

This course is a study of the broad concepts and models upon which modern chemistry rests. Atomic structure, chemical bonding, types of chemical reactions, stoichiometry, gas laws, and an introduction to nuclear chemistry make up the major part of this course. Laboratory work is closely related to class discussion with problem-solving techniques emphasized throughout the course. Chemistry is an important course for anyone planning to enter such fields as engineering, biology, agriculture, forestry, and medicine including nursing and pharmacy.

This course investigates the historical development and physical principles involved with the concepts of mechanics, matter phases, thermodynamics, wave theory, sound and light, electricity and magnetism.  Understanding these concepts requires qualitative and quantitative application. A primary goal is to develop analytical problem-solving skills that apply to technological achievements.

Environmental science builds a basic background for understanding energy, resources, and environmental problems.  It incorporates other sciences such as Biology, Chemistry and Physics.  The student will apply their understanding of these other sciences to environmental situations.
