Prerequisite: Algebra I and approval of the Science Department Conceptual Physics is a required foundation course for future study in physics, chemistry, and biology. Students learn to think scientifically by studying basic concepts in physical science including statics, kinematics, the Scientific Method, Newton’s Laws, Conservation Laws, elementary chemistry, and biochemistry. Students are guided by lecture, demonstration, and lab investigation through topics of historical interest to important scientists. Students explore these topics by reading, question & answer (journal), artistic rendering (portfolio) and problem-solving. Students present their understanding not only by traditional assessment, but also in PowerPoint presentations, model-making, computer simulation, and using Excel spreadsheets to present data. Students are asked to question topics like the scientists whose lives they study, with answers changing through the year. They learn basic laboratory skills, and apply mathematics to problem-solving, including ratio and proportion, scaling, formulas, vectors, graphing, slopes, and linear equation. Instructor: Bob McDaniel Tuition: $1700 (plus the cost of books) 7:45 AM - 1:15 PM June 27 – July 29 ALGEBRA IB Five-week course Prerequisite: Pre-algebra or Algebra IA and approval of the Math Department Algebra IB is designed to reinforce basic algebra skills while developing logical thinking. Problem-solving techniques are used extensively with solving equations, polynomials, factoring, algebraic fractions, systems of linear equations, functions, and rational and irrational numbers. Note: SMES students may only take this class if they have had Algebra I or Algebra IA at SMES. Instructor: Kate Meloney Tuition: $1700 (plus the cost of books) 7:45 AM - 1:15 PM June 27 – July 29 GEOMETRY Five-week course Prerequisite: Algebra I and approval of the Math Department Geometry stresses inductive and deductive reasoning and higher level thinking skill. Through the use of theorems, postulates and definitions, students use their reasoning skills to prove theorems about basic geometric shapes. Throughout the course both plane and solid geometric applications are stressed. Skills previously introduced in algebra are maintained through the solution of various types of geometry problems. Instructor: Steve Sherman and Anne Booth Tuition: $1700 (plus the cost of books) 7:45 AM - 1:15 PM June 27 – July 29 Electives: JOURNALS AND WRITING SKILLS: A PREP COURSE FOR ENGLISH AT ST. MARGARET'S Two and a half week course Prerequisite: none (recommended for students new to St. Margaret's as well as those hoping to gain additional experience and confidence in English) Students will grow in their abilities as both reflective and analytical writers in this course. Literature journals are the core for all writing in English classes at St. Margaret’s; they provide students the opportunity to sharpen their critical writing skills while maintaining and exploring their personal voices and experiences. Journals are also a critical component of the essay writing process as they serve as a basis for original thought and understanding of the literature at hand. Students will learn and grow as journal writers in their study of selected novels, short stories, and possibly film. The course will allow students to articulate their ideas in open discussions with their teacher and peers. These discussions will foster the confidence and comfort necessary of students if they are to be successful participants in their English classes throughout the regular school year. The teacher will provide personalized feedback and grammatical instruction to guide their writing, and the last assignment of the class will allow students to formalize the thoughts developed in the journals in an argumentative, thesis paper. An elective credit, this course does not count toward the four years of required study in English.
