Biology 1.0 Credit 
This course is designed for sophomore level students and carries laboratory credit. Topics include genetics, ecology, evolution, human biology, plant and animal kingdoms, and microbiology or physics.
Earth/Space Science 1.0 Credit 
Earth/Space Science is designed for those students who have taken Chem-Physics and Biology and wish to further their study of the physical sciences. Earth Science meets the laboratory science requirement for graduation and college entrance. The student will study astronomy, geology, meteorology and oceanography. 
 
Chemistry 1.0 Credit 
Chemistry is the study of the structure and composition of matter that make up living things and their environment. Chemistry also deals with the study of the changes of matter and the mechanisms by which changes occur. This course is recommended for college-bound students. 
 
Anatomy  and Physiology 1.0 Credit 
This course is designed for those students who have taken biology and who wish to further their study of biology. The student will study the structure and function of the various cells, tissues, and integrated systems of the body. The course is designed to lay the groundwork then move into various human systems.
 
Physics 1.0 Credit 
Applied Physics/Technology is a high school course in applied science for vocational-technical and college-bound students. The material studied shows how technical concepts can be analyzed and applied to equipment and devices in mechanical, fluid, electrical, and thermal energy systems. The course is designed for students to explore and apply the principles of technology in a classroom setting with hands-on laboratory activities.
 
Environmental Science 1.0 Credit 
This is an introductory course for students who wish to study topics relating to the environment, its resources, quality and ethical issues. Environmental science is the study of the natural sciences in an interdisciplinary context that always includes consideration of people and how they have influenced various systems around us. It includes many aspects of biology, earth and atmospheric sciences, fundamental principles of chemistry and physics, human population dynamics, and an appreciation for the Earth and its natural resources.
 
Botany 1.0 Credit 
Presents basic concepts of plant biology for the non-major, focusing on the plant characteristics, unity and diversity, growth, and reproduction. Students discuss current ideas in agriculture, horticulture, medicine, biotechnology, ecology, conservation, and environmental issues. Laboratory work includes greenhouse and field studies.
 
Zoology 1.0 Credit 
The course gives an introduction to zoology, with particular emphasis on the morphology and systematics of both vertebrates and inverterates. In addition, the students should acquire basic knowledge in ethology, evolution, and human ecology (including an introduction to the biosphere and bio-diversity).
 
Astronomy 1.0 Credit 
The purpose of this course is to enable students to develop and apply knowledge of the universe and compare the conditions, properties, and motions of bodies in space. Emphasis shall be placed on concepts basic to Earth, including materials, processes, history, and the environment.
