Bishop, M: Archeology and Geology
Summerville, Thursday
Instructor: Marisa Bishop
Email: [email protected]
Grade: 9th -12th
Tuition: $37
Material Fee: $40
Supply Requirements: 3 ring binder, pencil/pen, colored pencils
Textbook Requirements: Master Books - Geology and Archeology set (student workbooks will be provided)
Course Description: Welcome to Archeology and Geology! In this high school class accredited course we will be digging deep into several areas of Geology like fossils, caves, minerals and how they come together to create what we have today. Ever wonder how the Bible plays into Geology? Curious how people have come up with ideas how rocks formed? We will go through it all. This will be a very hands-on course. My goal is for students to have biblical affirmation for the four general areas of science: Archaeology, geology, Speleology and Paleontology. We will have 4 major projects to go along with each one of our books. At the end of the year, we will have a fossil dig!

Jernigan: Marine Biology Lab
Summerville, Thursday
Instructor: Erin Jernigan
Email: [email protected]
Grades: 10-12th graders
Tuition: $37
Materials fee: $30
Pre-requisites: Biology
Supplies and Books required: Exploring Creation With Marine Biology 2nd edition, a Solutions and Test Manual, Apologia Marine Biology Student Notebook.
Course Description: This lab course concentrates on marine wildlife and marine habitats. It provides a survey of members of each biological kingdom that live in marine environments. The student will learn about the microscopic organisms that make life in the ocean possible, including details about their interesting habits and life cycles. This lab course will include experimentation, dissection (Clam, Sea star (starfish), Dogfish shark, Natural sponge and Non-living coral specimen) and microscopy.
The lab grade counts for ⅓ of the overall Marine Biology grade. The student’s lab grade will be based on weekly lab reports, quizzes, projects and lab participation. Tests and other “at-home work” are graded by the parent and make up the remaining 2/3 of the overall Marine Biology course grade. Students read the modules at home and parents grade all text work (tests, study guides, etc.). Students are expected to keep up pace with the “at home work” per lab schedule.
Lab grade is calculated on the following: Lab Reports 60%, Quizzes 10%, Projects 10%, Lab Participation 20%.

McGowan: Chemistry
Summerville, Monday
Instructor: Mrs. Leslie McGowan
Email: [email protected]
Grades: 10-12
Tuition: 45.00
Materials fee: 25.00
Pre-requisites: C avg in Algebra I, successful completion of at least one high school science class such as Biology, Physical Science, and or Physics. I would strongly recommend not taking this class until your junior year of high school and taking Physical Science and Biology prior to this class.
Required for parent to purchase: Discovering Design With Chemistry by Dr. Jay Wile, 3 ring binder with dividers and pockets, scientific calculator, pencils and pens (blue or black ink only).
Course description: Chemistry is everywhere and in everything: your cell phone, your body, your clothing, your favorite drink or food. The roots of chemistry can be traced back all the way to the fifth century when a Greek philosopher, Democritus, hypothesized everything was made up of atomos. In the 1600s a physicist by the name of Robert Boyle coined the term elements and hypothesized the world was made up of them. In the 1800s scientists began to discover that an atom is composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. The basis of chemistry lies in how atoms react with each other, specifically how their electrons interact.
My goal is to help the students go beyond just reading the material in the book and regurgitating formulas and concepts in order to pass a test. I want them to understand the concepts and see how and why they are important. Many of the concepts require practice to master and appreciate. Successful completion of this course will set them up to succeed in the freshmen chemistry courses offered at their college of choice. It will also benefit their performance and understanding in the lab component of this course.
I create and grade all assessments given. They will have homework beyond the questions in the book to do on occasion which will reinforce the concepts they are learning. The tests are sent home for them to take. The midterm and final will be given in class.

Instructor: Laureen Rupert
Email: [email protected]
Grades: 9-12th (must be registered as 9th grade or above with their accountability group)
Monthly Cost: $39
Material Fee: $28
Text: Apologia Exploring Creation with Biology, 3rd Edition
Pre-requisites: Physical Science
Supplies: 3-ring binder and colored pencils.
Course Description: The lab class will cover the textbook concepts through labs, quizzes, worksheets, and 2 major projects. One project is due before Christmas Break, and the other is due before Spring Break. Students will be required to keep a neat lab notebook. Assignments are to be turned in on due date even if student is absent. Class time is allocated to assist with explanation of topics that students find difficult to understand from the textbook.
Topics will include properly collecting, observing, and analyzing data during a laboratory experiment, use and care for a microscope, writing up scientific experiments and connecting text concepts to the lab observations, dissecting animal specimens. The course will include labs covering microscopic organisms, cell functions, mitosis, DNA/RNA, genetics, animal and plant life, and other biological concepts.
The lab grade counts for 30% of the course grade. This grade is not to be used as their overall Biology course grade, since it will only reflect work done on the labs, not on reading and tests. Students read the modules at home, parents grade all text work (tests, study guides, on-your-own questions) and textbook progress will be checked at the end of each semester.
