This course is an opportunity to investigate ocean systems and the processes impacting them. This course involves a closer look at the scientific prinicples that regulate the delicate balance of life in the marine environments. It will examine the impacts that fluctuations within these systems could have on life in and out of the water. It also takes a look at how our atmosphere and aquatic environments are interrelated to regulate our Earth. It will explore the implications of changes in either of the two systems on the other and why it is important for us to be good stewards of the solar system.

The third science in a series of four that students should complete to have a firm background for understanding their role in the diverse systems around them. Ecology looks at the impact of living and non-living factors on different ecosystems and the role that humans play in our Universe. Students will focus on the role species including themselves play in the sustainability of life. It is also important to understand how interactions with the non-living components in our environments play a role in the biosphere.

The fourth science in a series of four that students should complete to have an understanding of how living systems function. Students will explore how cells differ within different organisms and the basic building blocks of life that offer such a great diversity of structures. This course will require the application of all three of science 1 - 3 as students work with the chemical, physical, and environmental aspects of cells. They will examine the internal and external influences on biochemical reactions. They will understand how genetic code is transfered and regulated within different organisms

Write a concise and interesting paragraph here that explains what this course is about

This is a block course that will look at the interactions of the stuff things are made of, those tiny particles that really "matter." We will spend time exploring the elements and how they interact with one another to form larger molecules and compounds. Through experimentation we will discover how energy moves through systems and how we try to take advantage of it.
