11TH GRADE EARTH SCIENCE
This class is designed for the student to explore Planet Earth from a Creation Science worldview. The student will understand scientific inquiry; understand the composition of the Earth; understand surface processes on earth; understand the earth's atmosphere and oceans; and understand how the dynamics of Plate Tectonics affect geologic processes on Planet Earth.

CHEMISTRY
This class will review measurements, what atoms are and what they are made up of, how atoms bonds and naming compounds. We will learn stoichiomtry and types of chemical reactions, thermochemistry, and gas laws.

PHYSICS
In Physics, we will review measurements and learn about displacement, vectors, and magnitude. We will learn about speed, velocity, and acceleration; along with force and momentum. We will also learn about work and power. We will learn several laws like Newtons's laws of motion and gravity.

PHYSICAL SCIENCE
We will review measurement and learn about vectors and displacement. Begin speed, velocity, and acceleration. We will learn about work, force, and power and learn about simple machines. We will also learn about atoms and how they bond and what atoms are made up of. Students will also learn how the periodic table works.

ADVANCED BIOLOGY
This class is designed for the advanced learner to develop: 1) the abilities necessary to do and understand scientific inquiry; 2) an understanding of the physical, cheical and cellular basis of life; 3) an understanding of the continuity of life and the changes in organisms over time, based on a biblical perspective, as well as the shortcomings of other explainations; 4) an understanding of the unity and diversity of life, with special emphasis in the areas of zoology and animal form and function; 5) an understanding of the ecological relationships among organisms. The student is expected to be highly responsible and dedicated to his/her work both in and out of the classroom.

AP PHYSICS B
This course prepares students for the Advanced Placement Physics B Exam. Students are required to take Pre-Calculus or Calculus because of the topics. Students study topics including motion, momentum, forces, work, magnets, static electricity, current electricity, waves, sound, light, and nuclear and atomic physics. Labs are performed during class and after class throughout the year and after the AP Exam. In addition to the textbook, students are given a CD with the PowerPoint's used in class. An intensive review helps prepare students for the AP Exam. Students can earn college credit if they make a 3 or higher on the AP Exam.

AP CHEMISTRY
This course prepares students for the Advanced Placement Chemistry Exam. Students are required to take Algebra II or Pre-Calculus because of the topics. Students study topics including atomic and nuclear physics, electrons, gas laws, solution chemistry, stoichiometry, reaction kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction, and chemical reactions. Labs are performed during class throughout the year and after the AP Exam. In addition to the textbook, students are given a CD with the PowerPoint's used in class. An intensive review helps prepare students for the AP Exam. Students can earn college credit if they make a 3 or higher on the AP Exam.

HONORS CHEMISTRY
This course prepares students for AP Chemistry, AP Physics, and Advanced Biology. It also prepares students for college science courses. Students are required to take Algebra II because of the topics. Students study many of the same topics as Advanced Placement Chemistry but not to the same depth. Students study topics including atomic and nuclear physics, electrons, gas laws, solution chemistry, stoichiometry, reaction kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction, and chemical reactions. Labs are done during class throughout the year. In addition to the textbook, students are given a CD with the PowerPoint's used in class.

SCIENCE OLYMPIAD
This course prepares students for the Regional Science Olympiad held the last Saturday in February every year. We try to qualify for the State Science Olympiad which is held at North Carolina State University in April. We are part of a 10 county region that stretches from West to Union County South to Brunswick County. There are 23 events from Tower Building and Mousetrap Vehicle to Chemistry Lab and Disease Detective. Tower Building and Mousetrap Vehicle are events students bring in apparatus that are tested to determine the winner. Chemistry Lab and Disease Detective are events requiring students to perform different task and take test on different topics. Students study for academic topics and build apparatus during class. Fayetteville Christian students placed first in Dynamic Planet, second in Optics, third in Experimental Design, and fourth in Mousetrap Vehicle in the 2011 Regional.
