In Biology Honors, students are challenged to master more in-depth content, tied to appropriate academic standards, in the same period as a traditional course, with a high level of rigor in both requirements and assessments. Biology follows the adventures of two Lincoln High School students, Zeke and Chloe, as they explore the fascinating world of the biological sciences. As members of the BioLINC Club, organized by their teacher Mr. Quinn, they attend field trips and conduct laboratory activities to learn more about topics in Biology. Students begin by exploring the foundations of biology, the chemistry of life, and the structure and function of cells. Then, they dive into the basics of cellular energy, including photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Next, cellular development and reproduction are explored, including mitosis and meiosis. The principles of heredity and the manipulation and testing of DNA are also examined. Semester one concludes with a look at the history of life, including the fossil record and geologic time scale. During semester two, students investigate the principles of evolution and how populations change over time. Students continue by studying the basics of ecology and how organisms are intertwined within communities. The ecosystems within the biosphere are explored, as well as the impacts humans have on Earth’s environment. Next, the classification system used to categorize organisms on Earth is explored, and the behaviors of animals are studied. Finally, the course culminates with a look at how organisms maintain homeostasis and how human body systems work.

In Chemistry Honors, students are challenged to master more in-depth content, tied to appropriate academic standards, in the same period as a traditional course, with a high level of rigor in both requirements and assessments. Chemistry takes students on a journey with Elena Gilbert, a crime scene investigation intern, who applies the fundamentals of chemistry to CheMYSTERY crime scene investigations at the conclusion of each topic. The journey begins with an exploration of scientific practices, laboratory safety guidelines, and measurement skills. Next, students work through the properties of matter, atomic theory and structure, and quantum mechanics. The history and organization of the periodic table precedes exploring the basics of chemical bonding, rules for naming compounds, proper construction of chemical formulas, and methods of chemical quantification. Semester one concludes by investigating the types of chemical reactions and balancing chemical equations. During semester two, students begin with conducting stoichiometric calculations, studying the behavior of gases, and investigating the nature of solutions. Next, the world of thermochemistry is explored, as well as the concept of equilibrium. Students continue into an investigation of acids, bases, and salts and the concept of oxidation-reduction reactions. The course culminates with a look at specialty areas of chemistry, including nuclear chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and electrochemistry. As a prerequisite to Chemistry, students must have completed Algebra I with a passing grade of C or better.

In Physics Honors, students are challenged to master more in-depth content, tied to appropriate academic standards, in the same period as a traditional course, with a high level of rigor in both requirements and assessments. Students enrolled in Physics advance their knowledge and understanding of concepts in previous general science courses. In this course, students examine classical mechanics while learning to calculate concepts in one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and circular motion. Students explore work and energy in addition to the concepts of waves, sound, light, optics, and electromagnetism. The course concludes with an analysis of nuclear physics and a debate on quantum physics. This course requires students to use fundamental algebra and analytical skills to solve problems and analyze situations. As a prerequisite to Physics, students must have completed Algebra I and must possess basic spreadsheet, word processing, and presentation software knowledge. While the completion of Trigonometry is not required, a pre-or corequisite of Trigonometry will allow students to be better prepared for calculations involving dynamics, vectors, and kinematics.
