ASTRONOMY & SPACE SCIENCE
Space Science studies the subjects of Astronomy and Aerospace technology for the purpose of helping students understand the relationship between our Earth and the rest of the universe.  This course requires laboratory work.  This course will not meet advanced academic diploma.

Astronomy Picture of the Day  

Solar System  

 

 

CHEMISTRY
Chemistry introduces students to the theoretical principles behind basic inorganic chemical concepts.  The course covers advanced chemical principles and mathematical problems that will prepare a student for further Chemistry study at the college level.  It is highly recommended that students have at least a B in previous math and science courses.  Chemistry requires that students come to the course with the ability to perform advanced algebraic operations and independently solve word problems. This course requires laboratory work.
