Summer Academic-Science :::

SCIENCE

Anticipated course offerings in:

Chemistry -  Chemistry is the study of composition and structure of matter and the changes that matter undergoes, and the energy associated with those changes. Principles of chemistry as well as applications of chemistry are  emphasized. Chemical concepts are developed through the use of mathematical relationships and are reinforced through laboratory activities. Chemistry (Prep) is not recommended for students who plan to major in science in college. 

Chemistry (Accel) moves at a faster pace than Chemistry (Prep), while covering a greater range of topics to a greater depth. Mathematics is an integral part of Chemistry (Accel). Out of class reading and comprehension are key to success in this course, and students will be expected to independently acquire information. Chemistry (Accel) is intended to prepare students for further study in the sciences or technology.

Physics -  Physics is a fundamental science whose concepts and ideas are related to and utilized by all other sciences. Physics (Accel) is a laboratory study for student discovery of the physical universe. Experiments are an integral part of the course and when possible serve as the primary learning source. In this course, fundamental concepts of motion, energy, dynamics, momentum, light, electricity, magnetism, and quantum physics are  developed.  Physics (Accel) is a college preparatory course and would be beneficial to any student planning to continue his/her education.
