COURSE DESCRIPTION
Ag Chemistry is a one-year laboratory- based course designed to provide students with the basic understanding of the characteristics of physical change resulting from chemical interactions, as well as providing students with the opportunity to develop their skills in scientific investigation, which will include projects requiring research. This course satisfies one half of the science requirements for graduation as well as the UC “A-G” requirement for laboratory science. It is designed to give advanced students a greater in-depth look into characteristics and functions physical reactions through highlighting chemical and atomic interaction. The Agriscience pathway helps students acquire a broad understanding of a variety of agriculture areas, develop an awareness of the many career opportunities in agriculture, participate in occupationally relevant experiences, and work cooperatively with a group to develop and expand leadership abilities. Students investigate California Agriculture, agricultural technologies, natural resources, and animal, plant, and soil sciences.
