Ag Science  - Meets Science (D) / Earth and Space Sciences requirements.  Introductory course prepares students for subsequent science courses.  Emphasis on Earth and Physical Science.

Agricultural Biology - Meets Science (D) / Biology / Life Sciences requirements.  Life Science Lab class. 

Animal Anatomy/Physiology - Meets College-Preparatory Elective (G) / Science – Biology / Life Sciences requirements.  Exploring anatomical structures and their functions.

Ag Chem  - Meets Science (D) / Chemistry/Earth & Space Science credits - One year, laboratory science course. Using agriculture as the learning vehicle, the course emphasizes the principles, central concepts and inter-relationships among the following topics: Scientific Measurement; Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table; Nuclear Chemistry; Chemical Names and Formulas; Stoichiometry; Chemical Reactions; Thermochemistry; Behavior of Gases; Electrons in Atoms; Chemical Periodicity; Ionic and Covalent bonding; Solutions; Reaction Rates and Equilibrium; Acids and Bases; Neutralization; Hydrocarbon Compounds; Functional Groups and Organic Chemistry; and the Chemistry of Life. This course is centered on extensive laboratory component in order to connect the big ideas of life science with agricultural applications, earth and physical science principles, and other curricular areas, including written and oral reporting skills. Agricultural Chemistry is a science course, which utilizes agricultural examples and principles only as a learning vehicle to reinforce science principles.

Ag Physics - Meets Science (D) / Physics/Earth & Space Sciences Requirements - One year, laboratory science course. Using agriculture as the learning vehicle, students will learn valuable science and engineering skills applicable to topics including scientific methodology, forces and motion, types of interactions, energy, and waves, and electricity and magnetism. Students will experiment, collect data, and draw conclusions based on that data. This course is centered on an extensive laboratory component in order to connect the big ideas of life science with agricultural applications, earth and physical science principles, and other curricular areas, including written and oral reporting skills. Agricultural Physics is a science course, which utilizes agricultural examples and principles only as a learning vehicle to reinforce science principles.

ROP Veterinary Science  - Meets College-Preparatory Elective (G) / Science – Biology / Life Science credit.   This course will provide the student with principles in Veterinary Science focusing on the area of mammalian production, anatomy, physiology, reproduction, nutrition, respiration and genetics. This course is intended to successfully prepare those students who plan on majoring in Agricultural Sciences at a college or university. Frequent opportunities are given to develop and apply rational and creative thinking processes of observing, comparing, organizing, relating, inferring, applying and communicating. Also, there is an emphasis on developing values aspirations and attitudes that promote the student's understanding personal involvement with the scientific discoveries of the future. There are ample opportunities for hands on class participation with animals in this class to enable students to demonstrate their knowledge of restraint, handling, behavior, etc. 

Additional emphasis will be placed on industry practices to include record keeping, public relations and communications.

Chapter CA0352
The complete Agricultural Education experience!!

The National FFA Organization - is a dynamic youth organization within agricultural education, that prepares students for leadership, personal growth and career success.  It is a learning tool to strengthen the "Hands-On" part of the high school agricultural education curriculum.

Supervised Agricultural Experience Program - Each student is required to plan and maintain a project related to their agriculture program.  They are also required to keep records on transactions related to their project (i.e. hours, receipts, expenses).   

     "Learning by doing" part of the curriculum.
