Description |
Teacher |
| General Science |
A lab science class that provides a solid foundation in chemistry, physics, and earth science, with particular emphasis on the processes of science. A team of teachers who provide instruction in their area of expertise teaches it. The course targets the benchmarks and indicators assessed by the Kansas physical science assessment at the 9th grade level. |
Mr. Cole
Mr. Remmers
Mr. Shamburg |
| Enviromental Science |
A science course that studies and applies established scientific principles dealing with local, regional and global environments. Emphasis is placed on practical knowledge in the areas of biology, chemistry, electricity, sound, light and magnetism. |
Mr. Cole |
| Biology 1 |
A lab science course for sophomores, juniors, or seniors (recommended to be taken in sophomore year): covers general principles of biology, the study of living things--scientific method, ecology, metabolism, cellular biology, genetics, reproduction, microscopic organisms, plants, animals and much more! |
Mr. Shamburg |
| Biology 2 |
A year-long course recommended for juniors and seniors. Dual credit course - - earns 5 hours of college credit from Highland Community College with appropriate fees paid. Advanced equipment, lab techniques and data analysis are stressed. Chemistry or concurrent enrollment in chemistry is strongly suggested. |
Mr. Shamburg |
| Chemistry |
Study and laboratory work on how matter reacts with matter. This introductory course in chemistry meets the requirement for a laboratory course. Items stressed are the periodic chart, laboratory apparatus, lab safety and advanced problem solving. Algebra 2 or concurrent enrollment in Algebra 2 is recommended. It is also recommended that students take biology before chemistry. |
Mr. Cole |
| Chemistry 2 |
This is a concurrent class with a potential of 5 credit hours from Highland Community College when the appropriate fees are paid. Advanced lab techniques and chemistry content are emphasized. It serves as an extension of chemistry and will continue to build on the skills and content learned in the previous course. |
Mr. Cole |
| Physics |
The science of matter reacting with the forces of nature such as gravity, magnetism, electricity, heat, light, and atomic. Problems are expressed mathematically and the answers are applied to practical situations. Trigonometry or concurrent enrollment in trigonometry is recommended. |
Mr. Cole |
| Anatomy and Physiology |
A yearlong course surveying the structure, function, development, disorders, and health of the human body organ systems. Recommended for students interested in nursing, veterinary work, any medical field, or just for anyone with an interest in the miraculous human body! Coursework involves dissection of a cat and various body parts. |
Mr. Shamburg |
| Animal Science |
A continuation into the various disciplines of animal science. A great course for learning the general biology of animals and the skills needed to correctly manage them. Units covered in this course include; leadership, anatomy & physiology, traditional domestic livestock mgt. (beef, sheep, swine, horse, dairy, etc.), record keeping, non-traditional livestock mgt. (bison, llama, aquaculture, apiculture, etc.), genetics, nutrition, animal behavior and facility design. |
