Science 2 brings science alive by providing students with a combination of virtual lab investigations (with options for hands-on learning), interactive lessons, and an array of e-books that capture students’ attention and grow their interest in science. Students engage in science and engineering practices as they explore topics such as matter and its interactions, changes to the earth, and plants and animals. Throughout the course, students conduct investigations using digital tools and simulations. Some labs also include alternative investigations that use household materials.

 This course calls for the following household materials, though they are optional, since digital versions of all labs are available:

• Science Notebook (required)
• pencil or pen (required)
• 3 plastic cups or jars (optional)
• water (optional)
• marker or pen (optional)
• tablespoon (optional)
• notebook paper (optional)
• 1/2 cup cornmeal or flour (optional)

  *Students may also keep a digital Science Notebook.

Science 1 brings science alive by providing students a combination of virtual lab investigations (with options for hand-on learning), interactive lessons that provide opportunities for inquiry, and an array of e-books that capture students’ attention and grow their interest in science.

The curriculum begins with an overview of what science is and how to study it. Students then focus on plant and animal traits and relationships. In the last half of the course, students explore the patterns they see in the sky and examine how sounds and light are used to communicate and help them understand their world.

This course calls for the following household materials, though they are optional, since digital versions of all labs are available:

• cardboard box, large
• coin
• composition book, notebook, or loose-leaf paper to use as a Science Notebook*
• crayons, markers, or colored pencils
• flashlight
• number cube
• paper clip
• pen cap
• scissors, round-end safety

*Students may choose to keep a digital Science Notebook.

Science K brings science alive by providing students a combination of virtual lab investigations (with options for hands-on learning), interactive lessons that provide opportunities for inquiry, and an array of e-books that capture students’ attention and grow their interest in science.

The curriculum begins with an overview of what science is and who scientists are. Students then focus on plant and animal relationships and analyze the weather. In the last half of the course, students explore how the sun affects their world and explore the interactions between different forces.

This course calls for the following household materials, though they are optional, since digital versions of all labs are available:

• blanket
• composition book, notebook, or loose-leaf paper to use as a Science Notebook*
• crayons, markers, or colored pencils
• hat
• scissors
• toy car
• umbrella

This is the second semester of a two semester course. This course continues to provide a comprehensive introduction to managing and maintaining computer hardware and software. The course closely integrates the CompTIA A+ Exam objectives to prepare students for the 220-1101 and 220-1102 certification exams. The course includes the latest trends in hardware, security, virtualization, coverage of cloud computing, Linux and Mac OS, and increased emphasis on mobile devices.

This semester-long course for high school freshmen is an exploratory course in web communications. It explores and delves into applications encompassing: digital citizenship, information literacy, creative credit and copyright, online and in-person collaboration, designing and developing accessible websites as an avenue to personal creativity, and understanding structural aspects of computing (e.g., hardware, servers, devices, file organization). The course is taught utilizing a project-based learning (PBL) approach. Each unit of the course is broken down into lessons. Lessons consist of video tutorials, short quizzes, example web pages to explore, and web design exercises in which students develop and publish their own web sites. Each lesson includes at least one formative short multiple choice quiz. At the end of each unit, students take a summative multiple choice unit quiz that assesses their knowledge of the concepts covered in the unit.

TCH110B Computer Science: JavaScript I is a CodeHS course that covers the second semester of the Introduction to Computer Science in JavaScript course series. Concepts covered in the course include functions, animation, and games. Once students complete this course, they will have learned material equivalent to a semester college introductory course in computer science and be able to program in JavaScript.

TCH110A Computer Science: JavaScript I is a CodeHS course that covers the first semester of the Introduction to Computer Science in JavaScript course series. In this course, students are introduced to the foundations of computer science and the basics of programming with the JavaScript language. After completing this course, students develop the skills needed to take the second-semester course in this series. Students learn material equivalent to a semester college introductory course in computer science and can program in JavaScript upon completing both course A and course B in this series.
