C. Study the human reproductive system and the process of human growth and development.
D. Explore the history of astronomy. Identify the major bodies of out solar system. Explain eclipses, moon phases, and seasons. Learn about the compostion and life span of stars and take an imaginary journey through the universe.
E. Explore the mechanisms of plate tectonics, mountain building, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
F.Apply scientific skills (define a problem, write a hypothesis, design and conduct an experiment, gather data, interpret and construct charts and graphs, evaluate data and draw conclusions). Use these skills to conduct an independent investigation and complete a full lab report.
