All students taking the AP Physics course are required to take the AP exam and pay the fee for the test. Admission: Approval of the Chairperson and teacher recommendation with a grade of 90 or above in Honors Physics. SCIENCE ELECTIVES: Disclaimer: The administration of Pope John Paul II High school reserved the right to cancel any courses due to lack of enrollment for that course or lack of teacher for that course. Anatomy and Physiology Year Course Grade 11 & 12 433 Accelerated Program Prerequisites: Biology and Chemistry or Science Department Approval This class involves a detailed study of the structure and function of the human body. It is essential to the preparation of students interested in pursuing a career in the allied health field. Classroom work, involving both traditional and inquiry-based techniques, is supplemented by time in the laboratory. The learning of technical terminology is a great help in preparation for college allied health field classes. Dissection is required as is a strengthening of written and oral communication skills and effective cooperative learning. It is important to check to see if the college track you are planning to follow requires physics, if you are considering taking Anatomy and Physiology instead. Two science classes can be taken at the same time. 434 Academic Program Prerequisites: Biology and Chemistry This class is intended to help students become more informed about their bodies and how they work. This kind of education is very applicable to life after graduation and makes students better health care consumers. It is less rigorous than anatomy but more intense than health. It is good introduction for those students intending to purse health related careers. The course will cover a thorough review of human biology including all of the body systems, development, aging, and the mechanisms of disease. Environment Science Year Course Grade 11 & 12 443 Academic Program Prerequisites: Biology and Chemistry or Science Department Approval This course explores the interactions and relationships between humans and their environment the Earth, both its living and nonliving aspects. The goal of this course is to develop an understanding of the impact and significant role humans have on our planet and all its creatures. Knowledge in the fields of Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Ecology are integrated to provide an overall depth in understanding. Topics include the Dynamics of the Earth, Ecosystems, Biomes, Impact of Human Population Growth on Natural Resources, Biodiversity, Global Warming, Renewable and Non-Renewable Energy Resources.
