Course Description - 

Chemistry investigates matter and energy and ways in which these two quantities interact. Over a course of study in chemistry, students should be able to recognize how both matter and energy are both quantified (measured) and qualified (observed) in a variety of contexts. This course exposes students to problem-solving situations that are developed through class discussions, demonstrations, and lab activities. This course is a comprehensive course designed to provide a basic understanding of chemistry. This course also makes connections between matter and the energy transformations in living systems and includes the connection to nuclear chemistry. Students will make connections between geoscience and human activity. Students will demonstrate understanding through performance expectations. Lab experiences complement the core concepts.

Course Description - 
This course provides students an introduction to the science of forensics. Students explore concepts through a variety of laboratory investigations. Topics of study include DNA analysis, crime, anthropology, comparative skeletal anatomy, blood composition and behavior, entomology as it relates to crime solving, genetics, odontology, and pathology.
