11:30-1:00 HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE

This science class is approved by most charter schools and is aligned with the Oregon Standards. If taken for a full school year, this science class will give your student 1 credit for Physical Science, which is typically a 9th grade science class. All middle and high school ages are welcome as long as they commit to doing the work assigned outside of class. 

It is crucial students do their work before the lab so they are prepared for the lab and all students have time to complete the lab without having to go over the previous weeks work that is needed in order to participate in the lab.
