Science

In this semester long course, students will be introduced to ecology and the use of science-based solutions to current and future environmental issues and a look at how science can help properly manage the Earth for all inhabitants.

In this semester long class, students will be introduced to the scientific study of the Earth/Moon relationship, the terrestrial planets and moons, the gas/ice giant planets and moons, the stars (including our own star, the Sun) and beyond our solar system.

Students in this Agriculture course will learn how horticulture impacts people, places, and things. Students will get "hands on" instruction in plant science, plant production, harvesting, propagation, irrigation, effects of sunlight, water, air, temperature, plant growth regulators on plants. Greenhouse management, and automation enhances the studenrs understanding of plant and crop production.

This course prepares students to better understand the world in which they live, and take an informed interest in science and scientific developments. Students learn about the basic principles of biology through a mix of theoretical and practical studes while developing an understanding of the scientific skills essential for further study. Students will learn 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. Required for Grand Canyon High School Diploma

As well as a subject focus, the Chemistry syllabus enables students to: better understand the technological world in which they live, take an informed interest in science and scientific developments, learn about the basic principles of Chemistry througha mix of theoretical and practical studies, develop an understanding of the scientific skills essential for further study, skils which are useful in everyday life learn 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. This course is required for Arizona’s Grand Canyon High School Diploma.

This course is designed to provide a worthwhile educational experience for all students; develop relevant and useful abilities and skills; develop attitudes relevant to biological science; stimulate interest in and care for; the local and global environment, promote an awareness of issues surrounding the study and application of biological science; and stimulate students to create a sustained interest in biology. This course is recommended for the AICE Diploma.

Cambridge International AS & A Level Chemistry develops a set of transferable skills including handling data, practical problem -solving and applying the scientific method. Learners develop relevant attitudes, such as concern for accuracy and precision, objectivity, integrity, enquiry, initiative and inventiveness. They acquire the essential scientific skills required for profession to further studies or employment. This course is recommended for the AICE Diploma.

This course is designed to impart knowledge of everyday phenomena including, but not limited to, Newtonian mechanics, matter, oscillations and waves, electricity and magnetism, and modern physics. Students that complete this course will have been given a comprehensive introduction in the physical world, will have a greater appreciation for the scientific process (including its limitations), and will be better equipped to contribute to a technological society. This course is recommended for the AICE Diploma.
