Students build technical skills with the use of cybersecurity utilities and applications. Working with computer operating systems, students train to solve real-world cybersecurity problems. Through hands-on and collaborative activities, students experience many aspects of digital and information security, while being encouraged to make socially responsible choices and engage in ethical behaviors. This is not a computer programming course; rather, it focuses on "outside the box" problem solving using software tools. Students explore the many educational and career paths available to cybersecurity experts, as well as other careers that comprise the field of information security. As a PLTW course, it carries AP grade weight. For more information about ETHS' Engineering Program click here |

The curriculum and skills are aligned to incorporate the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and fundamental biological and physical concepts, while supporting transferable literacy skill development. Students in this course will build a greater understanding of how learning processes and skill development are transferable across academic disciplines by developing a greater understanding of how science works. Students will apply this learning to current and relevant biological and physical science topics and events. The course brings into conversation a range of speculative literature texts that expand scientific understanding and explanation. These texts include Marvel comics, Afrofuturism novels, graphic novels, science-fiction films, and everyday ways of knowing and speaking.

Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment or completion of AP Calculus AB or BC and completion of 2 Chem/Phys (B+ or better) or AP Physics 1 | ||
This course is comparable to a first-year, college-level, calculus based laboratory course that covers all topics already introduced in your previous physics class plus goes into great depth in the areas of mechanics, electricity, and magnetism. While this course reviews calculus concepts as applied to physics, a basic understanding of calculus is expected. In this college-paced course, students should expect an exam every 2 weeks covering 2-3 units. Exams will be modeled after the AP Physics C exam. The majority of the grade will be from the quiz/exam scores, although some weight will be given to homework and lab assignments. Students in this course are also encouraged, but not expected, to take part in outside projects and competitions such as the bridge building competition, TEAMS, and others. This course meets for two (2) blocks. AP Exam Information . Video |

Students take both courses simultaneously at a faster pace than either course taken separately. An introductory level college text is used for both courses. The accelerated pace of the course will require students to demonstrate strength in an honors math course, be self-motivated and independent learners, and have strong interest in seeking the connections between the math, chemistry, and physics. Students DO NOT generally have a study hall if enrolled in 2 chem/Phys H, so strong time management skills are necessary.

This is a two-year course sequence. Students are expected to enroll subsequently in 4 Chem/Phys as a senior. Students study college level chemistry and calculus-based physics, integrating the two topics throughout the year. Topics in chemistry are the same as those covered in an honors chemistry course, but with greater depth of concept, breadth of application, quality of laboratory work, and quantitative rigor. Topics in physics focus on the first two semesters of engineering physics at the college level, which include classical mechanics in 3 Chem/Phys and electricity and magnetism in 4 Chem/Phys. A number of other topics outside the AP curriculum are incorporated in this course, including: relativity, topics in quantum mechanics, and topics in cosmology. Grading consists predominantly of unit exams every two weeks, laboratory work, projects, and homework. Strong math and visualization skills will be needed for this course. While not required, most 3 and 4 Chem/Phys students participate in extracurricular activities and state/national contests, including independent research, TEAMS, Academic Challenge, and Olympiads.
