CHEMISTRY Accel. Semesters 2
Science Credits 1
Prerequisite: Algebra I Prerequisite or Concurrent:
Geometry This course is open to juniors/seniors that
completed CP Biology in 10th grade and plan to attend
college. The basic requirement for this class is a “C”
or better in Integrated Science and CP Biology. Basic

on problem solving.
Forensic Science Accel Semesters 2
Science Credits 1
Prerequisite: Integrated Science and Biology and currently
enrolled in Chemistry This course offers students the
chance to learn how to solve crimes by using different
scientific laboratory tests. The history of forensic
science will be studied along with the science that
is the basis for each test. This will be a hands-on,
lab-based course. Some of the areas covered will include
critical-thinking, physical science, life science, earth
science, archaeology and anthropology. Some of the lessons
will include document forgery, crime scene evaluation,
fingerprinting, blood-drop analysis, DNA fingerprinting
and hair identification.
