EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE This course introduces students to an advanced look at the and perspective of the universe Earth’s near neighborhood from the Earth. Students will conduct field and laboratory investigations, use scientific methods during investigations, and make informed decisions based on critical thinking and problem solving. Emphasis will be on topics related to biogeochemical cycles, origin and evolution of the Earth system, energy in the Earth system, and origin and evolution of the universe. = = CREDIT 1 unit Time 36 weeks ZOOLOGY This course will build on the Biology Core with added emphasis on animal taxa, basic body plans, symmetry, and behavior. There is also emphasis on animal genetic including present and future applications of the Human Genome Project. Laboratory investigations will include dissection as well as computer simulations to provide students with adequate exposure of the comparative anatomy of representative animal species. = Prerequisite Completion of Biology course. = = CREDIT 1 unit Time 36 weeks Physical Education and Health Students must complete 1 unit of Physical Education-LIFE and unit of Health to fulfill graduation requirements. ½ L. I. F. E. (Grade 9) I. F. E. is the required physical education course for graduation designed for 9th graders.
