Prerequisites: Integrated Math 1
Grades Taught: 10, 11 12
Credit: 0.5
NCAA Approved
42032 Chemistry B
Chemistry B extends student learning to cover additional topics in chemistry, including quantitative
analysis, stoichiometry, solutions, quantitative gas laws, thermodynamics, reaction rates, and acids and
bases. Students will engage in laboratory experiments designed to introduce, illustrate, and apply
concepts learned in class.
Prerequisites: Chemistry A; Integrated Math 2 preferred
Grades Taught: 10, 11 12
Credit: 0.5
421220 Honors Chemistry
Honors Chemistry provides an opportunity for students to develop an in-depth understanding of the
major areas of chemistry. Students will study the underlying principles and theories of chemistry while
using mathematical skills during data-analysis and problem-solving activities. Students will engage in
laboratory experiments designed to introduce, illustrate, and apply concepts learned in class. Topics of
study include chemical change, atomic structure, bonding, chemical quantities, states of matter,
equilibrium, acids and bases, and thermodynamics. Successful completion of this class will prepare
students for the rigors of both Advanced Placement and collegiate level chemistry.
Prerequisites: Integrated Math 1; Integrated Math 2 preferred
Grades Taught: 10, 11 12
Credit: 1.0
NCAA Approved
44022 Physics A
Physics A is the first semester of a two semester, lab-based, college preparatory course that covers
the fundamental concepts of physics and how they model aspects of the physical world. Topics of
study include forces, energy, momentum, waves, and an introduction to electricity and magnetism.
Technological applications of physics are explored.
Prerequisite: Integrated Math 1
Grades Taught: 10, 11, 12
Credit: 0.5
NCAA Approved
44032 Physics B
Physics B is the second semester of a two semester, lab-based, college-preparatory course that covers
the fundamental concepts of physics and how they model aspects of the physical world. Topics of study
include electric field, circuits, magnetism, kinematics, circular motion, optics, simple harmonic motion,
and sound. Technological applications of physics are explored.
Prerequisite: Integrated Math 1 and Physics A. Integrated Math 2 must be taken previously or
concurrently.
Grades Taught: 10, 11, 12
Credit: 0.5
NCAA Approved
440020 AP Physics 1
AP Physics 1 is a two-semester laboratory course in which students develop many physics concepts
from their own laboratory work. Students develop an understanding or awareness of the natural world
and how ideas of physics are interrelated with experience, experiments, and technology. Major topics of
study include mechanics, waves, sound, optics, electricity, and magnetism. Successful completion of
this course may enable students to earn credit through the Advanced Placement Test offered in the
spring.
