Teacher: Cherise Eutsler
Description: Each week we will focus on a unique animal habitat (desert, rainforest, coral reef, mountains, etc). We’ll read books and watch short videos about the habitats. After learning about the habitat, students will make a mini-book, diorama, or hands-on activity to help them remember what they’ve learned.

Teacher: Emily Jackson
Description: This is a 2 hour class. High school chemistry is designed for students who have completed Algebra I. The course will cover the fundamental aspects of chemistry such as the classification of matter, atomic structure, spectroscopy, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, physical change/chemical change, stoichiometry, solutions, ideal gases, acid/base chemistry, reduction/oxidation reactions, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, and chemical equilibrium. Weaving together concepts and their mathematical applications, the course teaches students how to think as a chemist so they can analyze the major changes that occur in matter. Topics will be introduced and taught using pre-reading assignments, in-class activities, and laboratory experiences. Knowledge and skills taught will be reinforced through weekly assignments and assessed using quizzes, mid-term and final examinations.
Class Length: 16 weeks, year long
Homework: 4 or more hours
Prerequisites: Algebra
Book & Manipulative Set: Text TBD (but likely Discovering Design with Chemistry)
Supplies: Calculator, Dedicated Binder w/ notebook paper, pencil
Fees: $50 (per student, per semester)

Teacher: Donna Neely
Description: This is a 2 hour class. This is a high school level detailed introduction to the physical environment and the basic laws that make it work. The fairly broad scope of this course covers topics in physics, chemistry, and earth/space science. It provides students with a solid understanding of Newton’s laws, gravity, motion, weather, the solar system, atomic structure, radiation, nuclear reactions, stars, and galaxies.
There will be weekly pre-reading and homework assignments, in-class activities, as well as periodic laboratory experiments and reports. Regular tests and quizzes will be given.
Students need to have an understanding of the following math concepts: 1. How to convert measurements/units 2. Simple rearranging of equations 3. Dividing and multiplying fractions
Class Length: 16 weeks, year long
Homework: 4 or more hours
Prerequisites: Pre-Algebra concepts. An understanding of the following math concepts: 1. How to convert measurements/units 2. Simple rearranging of equations 3. Dividing and multiplying fractions
Book: Apologia: Exploring Creation with Physical Science-Edition 2 by Jay Wile
