Mission

Biology
Biology is a junior level lab-oriented course which explores life at all 
levels, from molecules and cells to ecosystems and the biosphere.  
General topics include the chemistry of life, the cell, the evolutionary 
history of  biological diversity, plant and animal form and function, and 
ecology.  Ten themes in the study of life are emphasized throughout the 
course.  
A weighted grade is available.

Weighted Chemistry 
Chemistry is a sophomore level lab-oriented course with an emphasis on the development of 
problem solving skills. The curriculum  includes the 
concepts of measurement, atomic structure, chemical periodicity, 
chemical bonding, molecular geometry, quantum chemistry, and 
principals of chemical reactivity.  Emphasis is placed on properties, 
reactivities, and reactions in relation to periodic properties.  
Stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and solution chemistry are  presented.  
Properties of matter as solids, liquids, or gases are studied in a 
practical hands-on manner using common materials.  Safety and basic 
laboratory skills are emphasized in microscale exercises that are 
applications of the lecture material.

Genetics
The goal of this one semester senior level lab-oriented course is to 
provide students with an essential understanding of genetics  so they 
will be informed citizens with the abilty to address social and ethical 
issues.  
Topics include the cell cycle, human reproduction, Mendelian Genetics, 
the chromosomal and molecular  basis of inheritance, transcription and 
translation, microbial models, the organization and control of 
eukaryoticgenomes, DNA technology,  and the mechanisms of 
evolution. 
A special feature of this class includes participation in the GENA project which has enabled the 
establishment of a collaboration with Dr. Jeremy Martinson from the University of Pittsburgh.  
Dr.Martinson works with the students in collaboration with Mrs. Greco for a period of two to three 
weeks.
A weighted grade is available.
