Please refer to pages 6 & 7 for school guidelines on academic placement. For appropriate recommendation, it is advised that students and parents consult with their current academic teacher and their assigned school counselor.  \nEARTH/SPACE SCIENCE (\\#3000)  \nPeriods Per Week: 5  \nPrerequisites: None  \nCredit Value: 1.0  \nSemester:  \nOpen to Grade:  \nFull Year 9  \nThe Earth/Space Science course is a one-year activity-oriented program. It is comprised of four basic units: astronomy, geology, meteorology, and oceanography. These units are related to each other by emphasizing similar themes throughout the course. These themes include the production and transfer of energy, the structure and changes of earth materials, plate tectonics and its relationship to changes in the crust of the earth, the record of the earth’s past, the earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and the composition and structure of space. All students will demonstrate knowledge of key concepts in Earth Science and how these concepts relate to their everyday lives.  \nA.P. BIOLOGY Credit Value: 1.5  \n(College in High School-University of Pittsburgh)  \n(\\#3010)  \nPeriods Per Week: 7 Semester: Full Year  \nPrerequisites: A.P. Criteria Open to Grade: 11, 12  \nThe AP Biology course offers students the opportunity to take the equivalent of two semesters ofan introductory college-level biology course following the AP Biology syllabus as published by the College Board. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore~~ ~~many topics such as biochemistry, cellular processes, genetics, gene expression, natural selection, and ecology. A large portion of the instructional time will be spent in hands-on laboratory work with opportunities to increase critical thinking skills and enhance problem solving abilities. The large number of objectives and fast pace of the course will prepare students for any future biology courses taken at higher educational institutions.  \nStudents who enroll in this course have the option of taking the Advanced Placement Biology examination given in May of each year or Pitt CHS credit. The CHS curriculum correlates closely to the AP curriculum. The grade for CHS credit is determined by the student’s performance on two exams, a comprehensive final, and a high school classwork grade. Students must also perform one laboratory exercise on the University of Pittsburgh campus.

This course is appropriate for students planning for a career in a science field. There is a higher degree of student responsibility to achieve the goals and demands ofthe course. Proficiency and depth of understanding will be emphasized. Students will be expected to work independently and cooperatively in a lab and develop essential lab skills. Lab activities will complement each component of the core curriculum. Six major units of study comprise the core contents ofthis course: nature of life, biochemistry, cells, genetics, evolution and ecology. |  |  |  |\n| BIOLOGY (\\#3020)\u003Cbr>Per","cbCaiaDauLxT32G6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaDauLxT32G6","pdf",190704,"English","# Earth/Space Science (#3000)\n# A.P.
