Chemistry of Everyday Living is a non-mathematical introduction to the basic principles of chemistry with an emphasis on chemistry relevant to everyday life. Topics will include nuclear, food, agricultural, drug, cosmetic and polymer chemistry. This is a lab-based course that will form an important background for all students to be further developed at the college level. Emphasis is placed on classroom participation, laboratory techniques, technical writing and problem solving.

 

This is the required science course for the junior year The Bridge Year Program.

This Advanced Placement Physics Course is Calculus based and will prepare the students for the AP PHYSICS C: Mechanics AP Exam

This course investigates the fundamental principles of Physics (Newtonian Laws) and how they apply to our everyday lives.

Astronomy is a semester-long, lab-based course. The course will focus on the solar system and stellar astronomy. Students will use a variety of podcasts and animations to understand the key ideas which will be reinforced through in-class learning-tutorials, peer-instruction, and other learner-centered models. Lab time will include hands-on labs as well as a number of computer based simulations. The student will have the opportunity to demonstrate their understanding through the use of several core projects.

Learn about atoms, the periodic table, bonding, and chemical equations. Includes labs, projects, discussion, written assignments, word problems, etc.

College Prep. Physics will study Matter and Energy and their interactions . Topics include forces, motion, energy, electricity, gravity and newton's laws.
