Units of study focus on earth processes and structure, fundamentals ofatomic structure, Newtonian physics and chemistry as it applies to the aforementioned topics.Recommendation for placement in Honors Biology is based on performance in IntegratedScience, using the following criteria: grades earned, attendance, behavior, effort, and attitude.

2537 INTEGRATED SCIENCE II -- Grades 11-12 (1 Credit)This course is designed to promote ways of applying and integrating scientific ways of thinking todaily life. Students examine the fundamental laws that give order and continue with the way theselaws affect the Earth. Students examine the formation of matter and energy, properties and inter-actions. Students examine the evidence and models that scientists use to explain the naturalworld in order to expand on these concepts.Guiding Questions include: How can we use forces and the laws of motion to understand themotion of objects? When energy is transferred what forms can it assume? How are chemical andphysical properties of matter related to the structure of matter? What happens when energy inter-acts with matter? How does the law of conservation of energy help us understand the movementof energy? How do observable properties of matter enable us to determine the structure ofatoms? What evidence can we find that the universe is in the process of continuous change?What causes chemical reactions that affect our daily lives? How are Earth’s chemical reservoirsaffected by the internal and external sources of energy? How does the tendency for everything tobecome less organized help us understand the movement of energy?
