This AP course is comparable to a college-level physics course that focuses on mechanics. It is taught with an emphasis on algebraic applications of Newton’s equations and their connection to the world we live in. This course prepares students for the AP Physics I Exam in the spring for the opportunity to earn college credits. BIOTECHNOLOGY* (CTE) | S C 1130 | G R A D E S 11 - 12 | F U L L Y E A R Prerequisites: B or higher in Algebra I; Biology, Chemistry or Integrated Science, or instructor approval. This is a year-long laboratory-oriented and algebra-based course bridges biology, chemistry, and technology in an occupational setting and fits the “school to work” criteria.

AP ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE | S C 1003 | G R A D E S 11 - 12 | F U L L Y E A R Prerequisites: C or higher in Algebra I; two years of Biology, Chemistry or Integrated Science, or instructor approval. This course engages students with scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships within the natural world. The course requires that students identify and analyze natural and human-made environmental problems, evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and examine alternative solutions for resolving or preventing them. This course does NOT fulfill Washington State science requirements, however, it engages students who have interest in studying environmental science. Class is dependent on enrollment and instructor availability. SCIENCE AIDE (CTE) | M I 1101 | G R A D E S 11 - 12 | S E M E S T E R + F U L L Y E A R Prerequisites: Must have either completed Chemistry or be currently enrolled; application required. Students assist instructors in setting up labs, and working on general daily duties. This is a general elective and does not count towards science credits for graduation.
