Examining a broad spectrum of the biological sciences, SC1112 is a two-semester course for middle-school students that will build on basic principles of scientific inquiry and translate those skills to more complex overarching biological themes.

Students enrolled in this dynamic course will explore the scope of Earth sciences, covering everything from basic structure and rock formation to the incredible and volatile forces that have shaped and changed our planet. As climate change and energy conservation become increasingly more prevalent in the national discourse, it will be important for students to understand the concepts and causes of our changing earth.

Encompassing the branch of science that studies non-living systems, this exciting course inspires students to explore key concepts and theories, each of which explains and/or models a particular aspect of the behavior of nature.

A compelling two-semester course, SC1115 engages students in the study of life and living organisms and examines biology and biochemistry in the real-world.

A fascinating look into the composition, structure, and reactions of matter, SC1116 encourages high-school students to ask questions about things that occur in nature and determine the underlying chemical compositions that compel these reactions.

Combining scientific inquiry with advanced mathematics, SC1117 is a stimulating, two-semester course for high-school students that will challenge learners to understand and explain how energy, matter, and motion are all related. Engaging lessons introduce theories and experiments and encourage students to develop the knowledge and understanding necessary to support conclusions with numerical results.

Environmental Science is a captivating and rapidly expanding field, and SC2028 offers compelling lessons that cover many different aspects of the field: ecology, the biosphere, land, forests, soil, water, energy and resources, and societies and policy.
