Have you ever wondered why drugs have side effects? Or why some plants and animals are poisonous? Toxicology is the study of how chemicals affect human health and the environment.

This course invites students to explore the universe beyond our planet while aligning with Ohio's Learning Standards for Science. Topics include the study of celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies, as well as phenomena like black holes, nebulae, and the Big Bang theory. Students will also investigate the tools and methods used by astronomers to observe and understand the cosmos.

Environmental science is a multidisciplinary field incorporating all sciences' learning and knowledge. The main goal is to explain the relationships between humans and the world we interact with.

Environmental science honors is an advanced multidisciplinary field that incorporates all sciences' learning and knowledge. The main goal is to explain the relationships between humans and the world we interact with. The students will study conservation and the protection of natural resources, educating humans to understand their natural surroundings better and promoting environmental research.

We will explore the structure and function of a cell, genetics, how plants and animals interact and affect each other, and many other topics. Through hands-on experiences in the lab, students will be able to analyze and navigate through biological and ecological systems.

Through hands-on experiences in the lab, students will be able to analyze and navigate biological and ecological systems. The honors level is designed as an accelerated academic offer to prepare students for college courses.

Have you ever looked up at the sky and seen a shooting star? How fast does it move? Where did it come from, and where is it going? This course will explore the solar system, the physical properties of matter, and the forces of energy.

Applied Chemistry is an inquiry-based course examining matter and its changes. Experiments and activities introduce concepts, including the structure of atoms and chemical compounds, the relationships among the elements on the periodic table, chemical and physical transformations, and the measurement and calculations of chemical quantities.

This course is designed to understand the fundamental principles of general chemistry, including associated vocabulary and nomenclature.

Physics is designed to improve student’s problem solving skills and to investigate matter, energy, optics, electricity and the interaction of physical forces with man. The course is recommended for all college bound students, but is especially important for those students continuing their education in a science-related field.

Earth science is a class that collectively seeks to understand the Earth and its neighbors in space. The main purpose of Earth Science is to introduce students to the Earth and the intricate workings of our Earth’s systems.

This hands-on course will emphasize identifying animal groups based on their similar characteristics. Much of the course will be spent performing various dissections of various animals like sponges, jellyfish, starfish, flatworms, roundworms, earthworms, frogs, and fetal pigs.

This course includes studying the human body, including its functions and anatomy, diseases and their effects, and current medical issues related to it.

This introductory, hands-on, laboratory, and project-based learning course allows students to explore how and why forensic science is used today. If you have ever watched a Crime Scene Investigation show, this course will teach you about the different types of evidence used and how it is analyzed to draw conclusions.

This course is designed for students interested in a health-related career or who have an interest in genetics. It focuses on the role of chromosomes, genes, and DNA in the inheritance of human traits and disorders and investigates current genetic issues and technologies.

Lake Erie Ecology aims to introduce students to our area's most important natural resource, Lake Erie. Learning about the various organisms that inhabit it is critical to ensuring the longevity of this resource.

This course will offer an exciting way for students to engage in a variety of science topics, including life sciences, earth sciences, and environmental sciences.
