  1. LINKScience: Your path to the world of Science

  2. LINKScience Courses The study of science includes three fields: • Life Sciences • Physical Sciences • Earth Sciences

  3. Life Science Courses Life Science Classes • Basic Life Science • Biology (Applied-Regular-Differentiated) Elective Life Science Classes (Require successful completion of Biology) • Genetics • Zoology • Anatomy & Physiology • Animal Behavior (biennial even year) • Botany (biennial even year) • Environmental Studies (biennial odd year) • Microbiology (biennial odd year)

  4. Physical Science Classes Physical Science Classes • Basic Physical Science • Physical Science • Chemistry (Applied, Regular & Differentiated) • Physics (Applied, Regular & Differentiated) Elective Physical Science Classes • Advanced Chemistry • Advanced Physics • Astronomy (biennial odd year)

  5. Earth Science Classes Earth Science Classes • Basic Earth Science • GeoScience • Earth Systems Elective Earth Science Classes (Requires successful completion of GeoScience or Physical Science) • Astronomy (biennial odd year)

  6. Graduation Requirements LPS requires students earn 15 credits (3 semesters) for graduation requirements. Most four year colleges require 3 years of science with at least 2 selected from biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science. Two classes must include laboratory instruction. All LHS science classes except for the basic science classes meet admission requirements for science and laboratory instruction.

  7. 9th Grade Requirements Starting in the fall of 2006-2007, all Freshmen will be required to take Physical Science and GeoScience. Freshmen interested in the advanced science courses will be allowed to take Biology following application and approval from the department chairman. GeoScience is required, in addition to Biology, during 9th or 10th grade year.

  8. Scopes of Study A Scope of Study is a plan outlining the courses which will prepare each student for their academic goals. The LHS Science department ascribes to 4 different scopes which are defined by either graduation or post-secondary education goals: • Basic – meeting only LPS graduation requirements • Introductory – for technical & vocational schools or four-year programs not requiring science. • Preparatory – for four-year programs requiring some science • Advanced – for four-year science-intensive programs

  9. Scope and Courses: Basic Students in 11th or 12 grades that are interested in earning credits for graduation and not planning on any post-secondary education. Careers may include: food service, telemarketing, & labor services Suggested Courses: Basic Life, Physical and Earth Science

  10. Scope and Courses: Introductory Students interested in some post-secondary education. Preparation for community college, two-year associate program or possibly a four-year non-science program. Careers may include: electronics, cosmotology, legal-assistant, mechanics, HVAC, secretary, animal science, etc. Suggested Courses: Applied Biology or Biology, Physical Science, GeoScience

  11. Scope and Courses: Preparatory Students interested in a four-year post-secondary education with non-science emphasis but requiring science for admissions or as part of a program. Careers may include: education, business, architecture, construction management, arts, communications, etc. Suggested Courses: Applied Chemistry, Applied Physics, Biology, Astronomy, Environmental Studies, Zoology, Botany, Earth Systems, Animal Behavior, Genetics

  12. Scope and Courses: Advanced Students interested in a four year post-secondary education with an emphasis in science, engineering, or medicine. Careers may include: medicine, engineering, sciences: chemist, physicist, meterologist, biologist, veterinarian, food scientist, forensic scientist, etc. Suggested Courses: Diff Biology, Chemistry (Reg, Diff & Adv), Physics (Reg, Diff & Advanced), Microbiology, Genetics, Anatomy/Physiology

  13. LINKScience Scope Advanced Diff Biology, Chemistry (Reg, Diff & Adv), Physics (Reg, Diff & Advanced), Microbiology, Genetics, Anatomy/Physiology Preparatory Applied Chemistry, Applied Physics, Biology, Astronomy, Zoology, Environmental Studies, Botany, Earth Systems, Animal Behavior, Genetics Introductory Physical Science, GeoScience, Applied Biology or Biology Basic Basic Life Science, Basic Physical Science, Basic Earth Science

  14. LINKScience Courses: Progression Introductory Preparatory Advanced Adv Chem, Adv Physics, Microbiology Physical Science & GeoScience or Biology 12th 11th 10th 9th (Optional) (Optional) Physics (or D), Genetics, Anat/Physio App Chem, App Physics, Env.
