COURSE DESCRIPTION

BIOLOGY

This is a college preparatory, general survey course of Biology covering such areas as biochemistry, cellular biology, microbiology, botany, zoology, human biology, ecology, and creation-evolution issues. This course stresses the Biblical, creationist viewpoint and will provide students with an understanding of God as our creator.

CHEMISTRY

This is a college preparatory laboratory course which builds on the introduction of biochemistry in biology. Emphasis will be placed on atomic and molecular structure, mathematical problem-solving, the periodic table, stoichiometry, chemical bonding, acid-base chemistry and reduction/oxidation reaction.

PHYSICS

The focus of this course is on the concepts of Physics, explaining how physical phenomena occur. Concepts are presented in a practical format, with equations as “guides to thinking.” The various laws of physics will be explored and explained as the basis for various physical interactions such as gravity, energy, heat, forces, velocity, momentum, etc.

ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY

This course offers a thorough exploration of the human body's anatomy and physiology, providing students with a foundational understanding of its intricacies. Through a combination of lectures, laboratory work, interactive discussions, and practical applications, students will gain insight into the structure and function of the human body at the cellular, tissue, organ, and system levels. Emphasis will be placed on the interrelationships between anatomical structures and their physiological roles in maintaining health and enabling bodily functions.
