In this course students will explore the relationship between structure and function and how the human body maintains homeostasis. You will apply principles learned in biology to each of the human body systems as well as how cellular transport, cellular organelles, and organic macromolecules come together in a specific organization to maintain life. By the end of the course, students will explore both the anatomy and physiology of each body system, practice using anatomical terminology to describe the location and structure of organs and tissues within the body systems, take an in depth look at select processes that apply biological and chemical principles to body processes, learn about diseases and disorders that affect each body system, treatments, and preventive measures, and practice applying knowledge of body systems to case studies involving real-world scenarios.

In Integrated Physics and Chemistry, you will first learn about the “basics” of physics, since physics is actually the foundation of chemistry. In this course, you will learn how to describe and analyze motion, how forces interact with matter, and how to further describe these interactions with the aid of the concepts of energy and momentum. You will also learn about waves, electricity, and magnetism. While exploring chemistry, students will focus on the atomic and molecular structures that result in different chemical properties and the concepts and tools that will enable you to predict chemical properties and chemical reactions. You will learn about key types of chemical relationships and reactions, including solutions and acid-base reactions. Finally, you will extend your knowledge into the areas of thermal and nuclear energy.

In this course, you will explore how the spheres of Earth are connected to create and maintain a habitable planet. You will apply principles learned previously about outer space, our solar system, and the planets to understand Earth’s place in outer space. You will evaluate how internal and external processes interact with one another and will analyze current and historical data to predict what future Earth may look like. By the end of the course, students will explore both the internal and external structures of the Earth, study the processes and cycles that enable life to exist on Earth, practice applying knowledge of Earth’s characteristics to case studies involving real-world scenarios, and practice using locations around Earth to describe processes, weather climate, sustainability, and other scientific phenomena.
