Science

Life science introduces the student to the various concepts of living things as viewed from God’s perspective of truth. Foundations of life science give the student the process of observing, measuring, and evaluating scientific facts. Students learn the fundamentals of the classifications of organisms, cell structure and function, life processes of food, digestion, circulation, respiration, and the many reactions and responses of the living organism. The goal is to provide increase faith in God’s creation and his teachings. Overall, students are taught the value of being good stewards of God’s creation.

Physical Science incorporates the two disciplines of physics and chemistry. Students will receive a broad, integrative approach to the physical sciences of the environment. Topics will range from the makeup of matter to the dynamics of motion and energy. Students will also be solving equations. Math is utilized in this course. The majesty, glory, and greatness of God will be seen through the studies of his creation.

Anatomy and Physiology is a course designed to expand the student’s understanding of the structures and functions of the human body. Body systems are studied in depth and emphasis is placed upon the interdependency of each system.

This is an Advanced Placement course in Chemistry designed for the student seeking a medical related field in college. In this course, students will study I detail the scientific method for problem solving, matter, atomic structure, stochiometry, chemical compositions, equations, mass relationships, gas laws, acids and bases, and organic chemistry. Students who master the material should be able to score well on the College Board’s AP chemistry exam and on similar exams administered by individual universities. In order to receive weighted credit, students must take the AP Chemistry exam.
