AP Environmental Biology and/or AP Biology Accelerated Physics or AP Physics Calculus Statistics Meteorology is a growing field that is on the forefront of incorporating science and technology. The important applications of focusing on human safety while investigating atmospheric forces are what drive the study of meteorology. See counselor for more info! Graduation Requirements must also be fulfilled Meteorology has been around how long? In this college level course, students will experience and learn about population dynamics, environmental quality, global environmental change and environmental laws and ethics. The first recorded study of meteorology was from India around 500 BC Students will study & experience college level topics that include: biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, biotechnology, evolution, taxonomy, plant & animal systems and ecology. Chemistry and/or AP Chemistry Students will study & experience college level topics that include: atomic structure, chemical bonding, states of matter, stoichiometry, kinetics, equilibrium and chemical reactions. Students will explore the macroscopic features of the world through the following topics: Newtonian mechanics, work, energy & power, mechanical waves & sound and circuits. Calculus will provide an outlet for students to demonstrate their algebraic and trigonometric skills through a variety of learning objectives such as derivatives, limits and integrals. Statistics will enhance students’ mathematical thinking skills and encourage students to concentrate on statistical processes and analyses. Statistics is imperative for any future meteorologist.
