(1.4)H (1.2)R
(one period of English and one period of history)
This course integrates American literature, history, government, and culture. Students will begin the year by studying the position of the U.S. in the 90's and then will go back to the early years of our country to see how we arrived at this point. Readings in literature will correspond with the historical periods being studied. The five paragraph theme will be used extensively, and library research will be expected. Most of the junior level field trips will emanate from this course.
1.2
Emphasis continues to be on speaking, reading and writing in the target language. More work will be done on current events and recent history of the countries being studied. Literature will be introduced.
Elective choices in team and individual sports are available. Varsity athletes are excused from physical education during the season and attend a study hall instead.
1.4
This course is for recommended students who successfully completed Advanced Algebra their freshman year. In the first semester students study trigonometric functions, their properties, and applications to various problems in the areas of science and technology. The second semester is an introduction to calculus.
This course is a non-Calculus based study of statistics. Students taking the course will prepare themselves for the AP Statistics exam in May. Pre-requisite: C or better in Advanced Algebra.
(1.2)
This course provides a review of the major topics in Algebras I, an in-depth development of additional algebraic skill and concepts, and a good preparation for college entrance examinations.
(1.4)
For students who have completed Chemistry in the sophomore year, this is a laboratory course that emphasizes problem solving and development of skills. Physics deals with the relationship between matter and energy and involves extensive use of mathematics. Topics studied include motion, force, work, power, wave phenomenon, heat, light, sound, electricity, magnetism, nuclear reactions, and high energy physics.
(1.2)
This course deals with the structures of substances and how they interact. It involves precise laboratory work, mathematical calculations, and the relating of these to problems given in lecture, in the text and in the laboratory.
