Within each course, students are expected to perform numerical calculations and algebraic manipulations, interpret concepts graphically, and solve problems.

Students participate in science investigations and applications that are aligned to the California Next Generation Science Standards and include topics such as the structure and properties of matter, chemical reactions, waves and electromagnetic radiation, and organisms and ecosystems. The investigative approach to understanding and applying knowledge in science will help students build their scientific literacy skills while learning about the world.
