Secondary Science Lecture Notes:
* = Does not directly satisfy one of the CA Content Standards, but provides necessary background information or additional information for purposes of enrichment.
# = Lectures that cover CA Content Standards that, while important, are not assessed on the California Standards Test. The California Department of Education states “students should have the opportunity to learn these standards, as they are important to the comprehension of each standard set.” These lectures are given to the Honors Biology AB students (who have typically finished two years of science, including Honors Physics 9AB and Honors Chemistry AB) OR Honors Integrated Science 2 students (who are typically sophomores that have taken Honors Physics 9AB).
