Life Science
6th – 8th Grades
Monday: 2:30 am – 4:00 pm
Mrs. Woytkewicz
Our planet Earth is unique in its abundance of living things. In middle school science, students will explore many levels of creation and how lifeforms fit together in God’s designed order. Science investigations will take place during class throughout the year.

Earth Science
7th – 8th Grades
Monday: 2:30 am – 4:00 pm
Mrs. Woytkewicz
Welcome to Abeka’s Space and Earth Science! In this course, you’ll explore the fascinating worlds of geology, oceanography, meteorology, astronomy, and environmental science—all through the lens of God’s Word. As you study, you’ll see how God’s incredible design and order are evident in every part of His creation. You’ll discover that science points to a Divine Creator who made the universe and sustains it with His power. This course also emphasizes our God-given responsibility to be good stewards of the earth—using resources wisely and caring for His creation as part of His plan. Get ready to see how everything in the universe reflects God’s greatness and to understand your role as a faithful caretaker of His world.

Biology with Lab
8th – 10th Grades
Monday: 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm and 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Mr. Rose and Mrs. Howe
High school biology opens your eyes to the amazing design in the world around you. This class includes a lab period where we investigate the concepts covered in class, including: the cell, bacteria and other microscopic life, classification, biological processes such as mitosis and osmosis, DNA, population and migration, fungi, plants, and animals. Evolution is discussed to explain its concepts, but a creationist perspective prevails. Note: Quite a few dissections are done in the lab portion of this course. The human body is covered later in a different class, Human Anatomy and Physiology. Lab supply fee.
Human Anatomy & Physiology with Lab
11th – 12th Grades
Monday: 12:45 pm – 2:30 pm
Mrs. Meier
Learning about the human body is an important part of every person’s education because it helps you understand how your body uses the food you eat to run all its life processes, as well as how to take care of your health from the cellular level to the whole person. In this course, we will learn about different types of cells, the brain and other organs, digestion, hormones, blood circulation, tissue healing, and much more. This is a high school science with lab (including dissections), and we will be using Apologia Advanced Biology. Prerequisite for this class is High School Biology.

Chemistry
11th – 12th Grades
Monday: 3:00 am – 4:30 pm Lab 4:30pm
Mrs. How
Welcome to the world of chemistry! This course opens the physical universe to our inspection. We learn details about matter, energy, and how they interact on a microscopic and industrial scope. Topics covered include the atom and the history of its discovery, the Periodic Table, bonding, molecular geometry, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, electromagnetic radiation, solubility, acids and bases, reaction rates, thermodynamics, and basic electrochemistry. The lab period will involve some of the best science you will do as a high schooler. Be prepared to study hard and feel a real sense of accomplishment when your teacher presents you with a cool piece of chemistry equipment at the end of year celebration. Grades 10-12, must have completed Algebra I at a minimum, also a Lab Fee.

Physics
11th – 12th Grades
Monday: 10:00am-11:30am Lab 4:30pm – 5:30pm
Mrs. Howe
Physics is all about fundamentals in the universe. We learn what happens when things collide, why objects are attracted to one another, and how to apply math to scenarios like these to describe and predict what will happen. Topics covered include: velocity, acceleration, gravity, projectiles, forces, friction, circular motion, energy, momentum, periodic motion, electricity, magnetism, light, and much more! Labs give hands-on experience with what we learn in class. Prerequisite: Algebra II preferred. Geometry helpful; may be concurrently enrolled in Algebra II with teacher permission.
