About Integrated Science
Integrated Science is an elective that emphasizes that learning Science is not about studying a series of isolated facts. In this course students view Science from a more interrelated world of inquiry and phenomena found in the different subject areas of science. Each of the four marking periods has a unit for biology, earth/environmental Science, Chemistry and Physics. This is a project-based course. Some of the major topics discussed in each focus area are:
Chemistry:
Biofuels
Toxicology
Nutrition
Zombies
Physics:
Roller Coasters
Bridge Building
Catapults/Trebuchets
Rocketry
Biology:
Antibiotics and Natural Selection
