AP Biology w/Lab (Online)
-
| OSC704 |
10 credits - 36 weeks
(two semesters)
Prerequisites: Biology and Chemistry |
College Prep
|
| In AP Biology, students build the conceptual framework necessary to understand science as a process. The course is divided into three sections with correlating laboratory exercises: molecules and cells; heredity and evolution; and organisms and populations. Students will also explore evolution, energy transfer, continuity and change, the relationship of structure to function, regulation, interdependence in nature, and the balance of science, technology, and nature. The equivalent of an introductory college-level biology course, AP Biology prepares students for the AP Exam and for further study in health sciences. |

| This course is a research- and writing-intensive version of our online oceanography course. Students study the ecology and diversity of the world's oceans, with particular emphasis on the complex interactions among all marine life, from the smallest micro-organism to the largest sea mammal. Topics covered include: micro-organisms, fish, life in the sea, deep sea exploration, marine mammals, coastal ecosystems and the sea floor. Students write periodic research papers on individual areas of interest related to the study of oceanography. Students also learn to use graphs, tables, maps, data and the Internet to enrich their study of this challenging and exciting course. |

AP Physics B w/Lab (Online)
-
| OSC904 |
10 credits - 36 weeks
(two semesters)
Prerequisites: Algebra II, Pre-Calculus with Trigonometry |
College Prep
NCAA Approved

|
| AP Physics B is a non-calculus survey course covering five general areas: Newtonian mechanics, thermal physics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and atomic and nuclear physics. Students will gain an understanding of physics' core principles and then apply them to problem-solving exercises. They'll learn how to measure the mass of a planet without weighing it, find out how electricity makes a motor turn, and learn how opticians know how to shape the lenses for glasses. The equivalent of an introductory college-level course, AP Physics B prepares students for the AP Exam and for further study in science and engineering. (TI-84 Plus, TI-83, or TI-83 Plus calculator must be purchased separately for an additional cost.) |

| The Advanced Placement Physics course is a mathematically rigorous course, designed specifically to prepare you for the AP Physics B exam. Physics is the most fundamental branch of all sciences, and one of the most enjoyable to study. This course provides a systematic introduction to the main principles of physics and emphasizes the development of conceptual understanding and problem-solving ability using algebra and trigonometry, but rarely calculus. The equivalent of an introductory college-level course, AP Physics B prepares students for the AP Exam and for further study in science and engineering. The AP Physics B covers the five general areas: Newtonian mechanics, thermal physics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and atomic and nuclear physics. The content is exactly aligned to the scope and sequence specified by the College Board. The textbook of the course has been carefully chosen and recommended by the College Board to meet all the required content. (TI-84 Plus, TI-83, or TI-83 Plus calculator must be purchased separately for an additional cost.) |
