  1. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” -Arthur C. Clarke

  2. Science at CHS Eighth Grade Open House January 2014

  3. Earth Systems ScienceEducational Objectives This course is designed to serve as an introduction to earth and environmental science. Students will explore the science of our Earth and the role that humans play in shaping the natural world.

  4. Earth Systems ScienceUnits of Study • Science as Inquiry • Water: an essential chemical resource • Energy: fuel for thought • Atmosphere and Climate • Geosphere

  5. What do you DO in ESS? • Develop skills in: • inquiry • graphing and analysis • using evidence • researching • applying learning habits • collaboration

  6. HOW do you learn in ESS? • Through: • activities • research assignments • experiments • small group presentations • web-based interactives • projects • solving real world problems

  7. Four Years at CHS • Students must complete 3.5 credits in science. • 1 Credit is earned for each core course • .5 credit is earned for Essential Topics courses. • ESS and Biology are required freshman and sophomore courses. • Students may take more than one science course at a time.

  8. BasicProgression of Courses

  9. For students interested in science, but don’t want to commit to AP science. Forensic Science Anatomy and Physiology Engineering Lab Environmental Science Science Elective Courses

  10. One of MANY Alternates

  11. Another Alternative

  12. Mathematics at CHS

  13. Progression of Courses Algebra I (1 Credit) Geometry (1 Credit) Algebra II (1 Credit) Algebra II & Trigonometry (1 Credit)

  14. Progression of Courses (cont’d) Algebra II (1 Credit) Algebra II & Trigonometry (1 Credit) Trigonometry (0.5 Credit) Algebra III (0.5 Credit) Pre-Calculus (1 Credit) Pre-Calculus (1 Credit) AP Statistics (1 Credit) AP Calculus (1 Credit)

  15. Doubling Up & Honors Distinction Students who are considering continuing the study of mathematics beyond high school or who would like to take AP math or science classes may choose to double up on math courses in one or more of their years at CHS. Doubling on math courses depends on course prerequisites and teacher recommendation. Honors distinction is available in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. Earning honors distinction requires completing a portfolio that demonstrates the student’s superb learning habits, classroom leadership, and extended and self-directed learning.
