PREV VERSION - [SC] Science 4 A: Extended Campus (ACC)
Grade 4 Science includes the three main domains of science which are physical, life, and earth and space science. You will use various kinds of experimenting, including field studies, systematic observations, models, and controlled experiences. The course begins with the explanation of the scientific method which you will continue to use and build upon throughout the course. The big picture of the earth is examined as learners review the life on planet earth, salt and fresh water, and fast and slow changes that occur on the planet. Go beyond planet earth, though, as you study galaxies, the solar system and other planets. Examine the ways that forces and motion can be measured and the concept that a single kind of matter can exist as a solid, liquid or gas. Grade 4 science uses many modes of instruction including video presentations, enrichment activities, and hands-on experimentation.

Second Grade Science introduces learners to the process of observation and how important it is to the study of science. Learners will identify their five senses and why they are critical to observation. Learners will use these observation skills throughout the course as they examine many different types of animals and their environments. Learners begin by observing ants in their own environments and continue onto learning the different types of birds. Learners will come to understand plant and animal rhythms and will perform small experiments with plants. Stories will be used to teach the learners about nature and interactions that humans have with nature. They will continue to learn about animals and their characteristics habitats, and needs. Learners will learn through video, audio stories, hands-on participation and observation with nature. The teachers will conduct live assessments for the topics that had been covered throughout the week’s lessons. Grade 2 Science provides students with the opportunity to expand their minds and see for themselves the way that animals and nature are a part of their everyday lives.

PREV VERSION - [MA] Mathematics 8B (SM)
In this course, students build on and extend the knowledge they gained in Math 8A. After reviewing how to solve one- and two-step equations, they are introduced to multi-step equations and proportions. They apply their knowledge of proportional relationships to geometry, where they perform transformations on figures and prove the similarity of figures through a series of rigid transformations and dilations. Next, students extend their knowledge of linear relationships by identifying and comparing the properties of lines and their equations. Then, students learn how to solve systems of linear equations using graphs, substitution, and elimination. After that, they build upon their algebraic skills by applying them to statistics, where they analyze and interpret patterns in bivariate data. Finally, students explore and analyze three-dimensional shapes including cylinders, cones, and spheres.
