The Human Brain and Senses Course emphasizes the use of knowledge and evidence to construct explanations for the relationship between structure and function in the human sensory and nervous system. Students investigate how the brain and senses acquire, interpret, and respond to information. An emphasis on vision and touch leads to investigations of the structure and function of the sensory organs and the brain itself. Images (MRI and EEG) are used to reveal brain anatomy and activity. Students also explore learning, memory, and sensory dysfunction. The FOSS Electronics Course emphasizes the use of knowledge and evidence to construct explanations for electrical energy and its use in technology. Students learn fundamental electrical circuitry and basic electronic principles. They make simple and complex circuits, quantify electrical interactions and properties (current, voltage, resistance) using a digital multimeter, and discover how different components affect circuits (resistors, diodes, LEDs, capacitors, transistors). They make and read schematics and construct solid-state devices. The FOSS Chemical Interactions Course is an inquiry into the structure and behavior of matter. Students conduct experiments to observe the macroscopic transformations of matter—phase change, dissolution, reaction—and apply kinetic particle theory to explain those transformations at the microscopic level. In the process, students learn useful conventions for thinking about and communicating chemical concepts: all common matter on Earth is composed of 90 naturally occurring fundamental substances called elements; each element is represented by a unique, defining particle called an atom; atoms combine to produce all of the unique forms of matter called substances; the basic particles of substances are called molecules and compounds. Health: Choosing the Best Life- High-Impact eight lesson curriculum for the upper middle school students engages the heart as well as the head and teaches students that abstinence is the best choice.
