PREREQUISITE - must have completed fall/winter term in order to register for this class. Not accepting new students.
This is an introductory course for students just beginning a formal study of the sciences. We will be using Apologia's General Science, 2nd edition. As a core class, students will receive a grade based on lab participation and module test scores.
We will aim to cover one module every two weeks. Class time will focus on review of concepts from the text and lab work. The course covers topics ranging from the scientific method, nature of scientific investigation,and the history of science to introductions to geology, biology, and anatomy.
Students will need to have access to our Google Classroom. We will not use class time for tests. Each module test will be posted on the Classroom stream after the module and appropriate labs have been completed. Instructions for tests will be provided in class.
Materials Required: A pen or pencil, a notebook, and their textbook.
This is a CORE class that meets twice a week for the full year. CORE classes have greater expectations of students, parents, and teachers. Parents are required to attend the mandatory CORE Classes Parent Meeting immediately following Family Orientation on either August 27th at 6:45pm or August 29th at 2:45pm. This year-long course is a fantastic foundation for students interested in pursuing higher-level sciences! The hands-on approach of exploring various fields of science through experiments not only makes learning engaging and interactive but also provides practical experience in applying scientific principles. By focusing on building math and study skills alongside learning how to write lab reports, students will be well-prepared for the subsequent high school science classes. Completing a minimum of 8 labs ensures that students have ample opportunity to develop their lab skills and gain confidence in conducting scientific investigations.
Requirements:
Students are required to purchase the following calculator - TI36X Pro ($20)
Genius Hour was first invented by Google where employees were allowed to use 20% of their time (Fridays) to work on their own ideas for projects. GMail, Google News, and many other profitable ideas came out of this initiative.
GeniusHour-Visual Art Special Projects at FPHRC will be an exploration time for students to imagine, create, and share visual art projects. So it will NOT be a classic Genius Hour in that we will limit the projects to visual art, graphics, etc.
Some examples:
- Produce a children's book on a parable in the Gospels
- Paint a large composition illustrating home schooling for a hallway at FPHRC
- Produce a sculpture of the Apostle Paul preaching at Athens
Guidelines and rules for projects provide safety, moral, and legal guidelines. Here is the basic process:
1. Students will propose a project for approval by parents, the instructor, and the administration
2. Students will plan how to create and share their project
3. Students will produce their project for approval
4. Parents and Students will evaluate and decide the next steps
So, Genius Students at FPHRC. Join this class for an adventure in learning.
Students will be able to use the computer lab for two hours during class time and by appointment with Mr. Snyder. The computer lab has Wacom screen tablets, Adobe Premier Rush, Gimp, Blender, Audacity, and several other software programs useful to produce projects.
Here is a good YouTube to learn more about Genius Hour https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMFQUtHsWhc
Here is a website for ideas: https://www.geniushourguide.org/ It may have some wrong ideas but it seems to have some helpful information also.
Mr. Snyder has accumulated lots of art related supplies. If Mr. Snyder does not have the supplies needed, then parents and students will have to provide them.
Requirements:
Art Studio and Computer Lab will be needed for this class.
