This course helps learners understand the technological world in which they live and take an informed interest in science and scientific developments. You will learn about the basic principles of physics through a mix of theoretical and practical studies. You will also gain an understanding of how science is studied and practiced, and become aware that the results of scientific research can have both good and bad effects on individuals, communities, and the environment. You will participate in regular in-person labs (with materials available at home or a school lab site), and experience experiments that are supplemented with other virtual reality experiences.

In this course students will explore the processes required to maintain living organisms. From the tiny molecules and intricate molecular processes to keep cells alive to the large cycling of matter and energy through ecosystems, students will analyze data, explore tools used to study life, and study how variation, but within organisms and in entire ecosystems, contributes to the resiliency of living things.
ONE-CREDIT HIGH SCHOOL COURSE
Biology is presented as one form of scientific inquiry, the process of channeling human curiosity into purposeful exploration, discovery, and exploration of observable natural phenomena. Biology is the study of life, but it is most important as a shared method of asking questions all humans have about life and living things, and communicating responses to the questions in clear and understandable forms.

In this course, students will think critically about the physical processes surrounding matter and energy. They will be asked to apply the principles that guide chemical reactions to real world scenarios and analyze real world outcomes.
ONE-CREDIT HIGH SCHOOL COURSE
The course is presented through the lens of scientific inquiry—the process of channeling human curiosity into purposeful exploration, discovery, and application of observable natural phenomena. In this course, students will grow to understand their physical world in a deep way. At the same time, an inquiry and STEM-oriented approach to chemistry offers students a shared method of asking questions about the world around them. Their experience and knowledge from this course—tied to a strong emphasis on qualitative and quantitative analysis and communication—is designed to enable them to understand important scientific and societal problems and to creatively grapple with such problems.
