Overview of Courses Integrated Physics and Chemistry Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course. Prerequisites: none. This course is recommended for students in Grades 9 or 10. In Integrated Physics and Chemistry, students conduct field and laboratory investigations, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical-thinking and scientific problem-solving. This course integrates the disciplines of physics and chemistry in the following topics: motion, waves, energy transformations, properties of matter, changes in matter, and solution chemistry. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course. Prerequisites: none. This course is recommended for students in Grades 9, 10, or 11. In Biology, students conduct field and laboratory investigations, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical-thinking and scientific problem-solving. Students in Biology study a variety of topics that include: structures and functions of cells and viruses; growth and development of organisms; cells, tissues, and organs; nucleic acids and genetics; biological evolution; taxonomy; metabolism and energy transfers in living organisms; living systems; homeostasis; ecosystems; and plants and the environment. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course. Suggested prerequisites: one unit of high school science, Algebra I, and completion of or concurrent enrollment in a second year of math. This course is recommended for students in Grades 10, 11, or 12. In Chemistry, students conduct field and laboratory investigations, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions using critical thinking and scientific problem solving. Students study a variety of topics that include: characteristics of matter; energy transformations during physical and chemical changes; atomic structure; periodic table of elements; behavior of gases; bonding; nuclear fusion and nuclear fission; oxidation-reduction reactions; chemical equations; solutes; properties of solutions; acids and bases; and chemical reactions. Students will investigate how chemistry is an integral part of our daily lives. Anatomy and Physiology of Human Systems. Students shall be awarded one credit in science for successful completion of this course as described in §121.13 of this title (relating to Anatomy and Physiology of Human Systems). Suggested prerequisites: Biology and Chemistry. Students must meet the 40% laboratory and fieldwork requirement in §74.3(b)(2)(C) of this title (relating to Description of a Required Secondary Curriculum).
