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.

Building upon the prior prerequisite course, emphasis in this course is placed upon comprehension and signing. Learners will also continue to establish their communication skills and foster their understanding of deaf culture. In addition to learning classifiers, glossing, and mouth morphemes, students will explore vocabulary for descriptions, directions, shopping, making purchases, and dealing with emergencies. Students will increase their proficiency by learning about sequencing, transitions, role-shifts, and future tenses. Students will learn how to tell a story and ask questions, benefiting with greater exposure to deaf culture. Speed, conversations, signing skills, and cultural awareness are characteristic of this course.

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 pull together and apply skills and concepts from the previous Mathematics courses. You will begin by focusing on how expressions and functions can model relationships. The course has a concentrated focus on polynomial, radical, and rational functions, so you will expand your arithmetic skills to include polynomial, radical, and rational expressions and equations. You will analyze their key features with tables, graphs, and equations when they are in function form. You will also investigate and measure surface area and volume of geometric solids, applying what you discover to model and solve real-world problems.
