Science

The Science Department at Red Bank Regional High School provides students with a broad comprehensive course of study of the sciences. Most freshmen are introduced to high school science by taking either introduction to laboratory science or biology. Introduction to laboratory science is an integrated program that introduces students to laboratory techniques related to future lab science courses, where biology is a lab course that provides an understanding of the structures and functions of living things. Practical biology, general science, everyday science, everyday science skills, human anatomy skills, physical science skills, and physical science concepts are also offered to prepare students for the upper levels science courses that lie ahead. College prep and honors chemistry is offered next and presents the traditional chemistry concepts, with the honors course also demonstrating the relationship of chemistry to mathematics and physics. Next is physics which introduces the traditional concepts such as motion, heat, light, kinetic theory, wave motion, gravitation, electromagnetism, and optics. Motivated juniors and seniors have a wide variety of accelerated and elective science courses available to them. These include: AP biology, AP chemistry, and AP physics, anatomy and physiology, marine science, and environmental science. We also offer ELL biology and chemistry. It is our hope that our science program will prepare the diverse community of students here at Red Bank Regional High School with a greater understanding of the vast world of science as well as for higher levels of education in their pursuit to becoming life long learners.
