​This course exposes students to the oldest and most important of all applied sciences: Agriculture. Students will study cells, plant anatomy and physiology, animal growth and development, genetics, ecology and many other principles that are related to agriculture. Areas such as the environment, food safety, and the future of agriculture will also be addressed. Career opportunities in agricultural sciences will be emphasized. The course will include field and laboratory application of science concepts taught.


This course is designed to prepare students to develop an understanding of the fundamental principles of life and the complex issues related to them. Cell biology, genetics, evolution, anatomy and physiology, biotechnology, the environment and ecological relationships are among some of the topics we will cover in the course. Students will also learn how the application of the knowledge can apply to human life. Students will practice scientific processes and methods through hands-on activities and labs.

​
This course is a college level biology course designed to help students gain college credit. Twelve labs are required and will be held at Dixie College during non-school hours. A lab fee is required.








General Chemistry is a standard high school chemistry course in which you will study the structure of matter, its properties and reactions. Chemistry is best taken AFTER physics and is the logical course to take BEFORE studying biology. This is not an honors course.





​Honors Chemistry is the standard high school chemistry course in which you will study the structure of matter, its properties and reactions. This course differs from General Chemistry (3620) in that it emphasizes problem solving and technical writing skills and is a college prep course. Honors chemistry is the springboard to AP Chemistry and is designed for students who wish to prepare for college majors in health and medical related fields or some engineering fields. Chemistry is best taken AFTER physics and is the logical course to take BEFORE studying biology. 

There is a lab fee required.




Meets 1.0 high school Science credit toward the 3.0 needed for graduation. Emphasizes basic chemical concepts within daily life. 1015 is lab portion of CHEM 1010.









​Description Coming Soon





​This class is a variation of the standard physics course. Students study the motion of objects and the laws that govern how they move (Newton's laws, etc.) including planetary and satellite motion, how heat and energy move and affect objects, how sound and light do what they do, and the basics of nuclear and quantum physics. This course concentrates on the concepts in physics, not the math, which is kept to a bare minimum. There is an emphasis on thinking through the physics and on applying the concepts in many varied and thought-provoking hands-on experiments.
The best sequence for a core study of high school science is physics first, followed by chemistry, and then biology.



Meets 1.0 high school Science credit requirement towards the 3.0 needed for graduation. Covers the basic concepts of physics in an historical perspective, providing many practical examples that demonstrate the role of physics in their everyday life. The PHYS 1015 lab is required for classes taught on high school campuses for Concurrent Enrollment credit. 1015 is lab portion of PHYS 1010.





An instructional course that prepares students to produce, process, and market bedding plants, holiday or specialty plants, and house plants. Students will also learn the basics in floral design, plant anatomy and physiology, plant requirements, hydroponics, pruning techniques and many other principles in Floriculture/Greenhouse 1. This course will also include field and laboratory application of concepts being taught.




This course exposes students to a wide range of scientific principles: genetics, anatomy, physiology/nutrition, disease, pests, and management practices. Students will also student ration formulations, range practices, poisonous plants, and management practices on domestic animals. Career opportunities and educational preparation are examined. Learning activities are varied with classroom, laboratories, and field experiences.

This course provides the opportunity for students to explore different avenues of the veterinary profession. Students will be exposed to veterinary science and principles which include anatomy, physiology, chemistry, animal health and disease, dentistry and laboratory procedures. Students will provide hands-on care as they develop skills in the areas of surgical assisting, bandaging, wound care, oral care, and general nursing care.


This course will prepare students for careers in health occupations and animal and plant sciences. Students will participate in experiments and explorations that use state of the art techniques and equipment that are used in today's health, veterinary and agricultural laboratories and businesses. Biotechnology techniques include: aseptic technique, plant and animal tissue culture, bacterial culture, genetic engineering, DNA fingerprinting, enzyme analysis, food production and disease and pest control. The focus will be on preparing students as medical lab technicians. This course can be used for vocational and science elective credit. College credit available.



​This full-year course provides students with an in-depth study of health care careers, including actual clinical experience in therapeutic, diagnostic, information, and environmental health care setting. Instruction includes intermediate anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, diseases and disorders, medical ethics, and first aid. The class is designed to prepare students for the advance health science course and/or for a variety of health technology programs.






Description Coming Soon





This course is designed to give the students an understanding of basic electronics and the fundamentals of electricity. Students will learn to solder simple kits. Students will learn the operation of electronic components such as LED's, resistors, and capacitors, while performing hands-on experiments. Students will be introduced to micro-controllers and some of their applications.
