| Day(s) and Time(s) | Tuesday 8:30-10:30 |
| Campus Location | Life Christian Academy |
| Course Description |
This class focuses on pursuing truth. Students learn how to identify and evaluate inductive and deductive arguments; compare sources and evidence; examine statistics; and recognize/rebuff fallacies and propaganda. Students also learn the basic elements of a Christian worldview, how to evaluate a worldview, and a variety of evidences that support the historic Christian worldview. These evidences include philosophical, historical, presuppositional, cultural, and scientific arguments for the existence of the God of the Bible; the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; and the truthfulness of Scripture. This class is worth 1 high school credit. |

| Campus Location | Life Christian Academy |
| Course Description |
In Physics Lab, students use computer-linked sensors as well as traditional lab equipment. Experiments correlate with most high school physics textbooks, but we study topics in the order presented in Apologia Physics. Students learn to evaluate graphed data and refine experiment designs, important skills for the ACT Science test. They also learn how to write lab reports and abstracts, completing 3 lab reports 1st semester and 3 250-word abstracts 2nd semester. Pre-requisites: Algebra I and Geometry |

| Campus Location | Life Christian Academy |
| Course Description |
Chemistry Lecture covers atoms and molecules, chemical equations, stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure, polyatomic ions, acids and bases, solutions, gases, kinetics, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, and redox reactions. Mrs. Johnson will supplement the Apologia 2nd edition text with information from other books, videos, and her own experience. Students who are not thoroughly familiar with significant figures and unit conversions will need the take the free 2-session warm-up class (10-11:30 Tuesday and Thursday of the week before fall semester begins). Students are encouraged to also take Chemistry Lab, where they will have hands-on experience with the topics taught in the lecture class. Pre-requisite: Algebra I TEXTBOOKS REQUIRED - Apologia Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 2nd ed (need textbook and solutions/tests manual) This class is worth 1.0 high school credits. |
