About 1 out of every 6 people living today do not have adequate access to water, and more than double that number lack basic sanitation. In some countries, half the population does not have access to safe drinking water, and hence is afflicted with poor health. Each day nearly 5,000 children worldwide die from diarrhea-related diseases, a toll that would drop dramatically if sufficient water for sanitation was available. From psychiatry to education, virtual reality is becoming a powerful new tool for training practitioners and treating patients in addition to its growing use in various forms of entertainment. Virtual reality is already being used in industrial design, for example. Engineers are creating entire cars and airplanes "virtually" in order to test design principles, ergonomics, safety schemes. VR has been enlisted to treat people suffering from certain phobias, and it can be a successful treatment for some more serious disorders, such as post-traumatic stress disorder. Carbon Nanotube Implants Could Help Diagnose Medical Conditions by sending a signal when they encounter certain molecules in your body. Scientists have long been on the lookout for more efficient ways to identify particular molecules in the body because their levels can be indicative of dozens of different health conditions. Now a team of researchers has developed implantable carbon nanotubes that light up in the presences of specific molecules, as the scientists announced last week at the meeting of the American Chemical Society and reported in Nature News. That could lead to faster—or even automated—diagnoses of diseases that currently take several days. Agenda . Grand Challenges . Academics . Foundation Years . Application Years . Challenge Level .

    PHS Advanced Placement Course Information 2018-2019 Social Science Courses (category A in the A-G college requirements) AP World History (Grade 10 core class; Grade 11-12 elective) AP World History focuses on developing students’ abilities to think conceptually about world history from approximately 8000 BCE to the present and apply historical thinking skills as they learn about the past. Five themes of equal importance — focusing on the environment, cultures, state-building, economic systems, and social structures — provide areas of historical inquiry for investigation throughout the course. AP World History encompasses the history of the five major geographical regions of the globe: Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, with special focus on historical developments and processes that cross multiple regions. Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for AP World History, although students should be able to read a college-level textbook and write grammatically correct, complete sentences. Teacher: Mr. Grady [email protected] and Mr. Simmons [email protected] AP United States History (Grade 11 core class) AP United States History focuses on developing students’ abilities to think conceptually about U.S. history from approximately 1491 to the present and apply historical thinking skills as they learn about the past. Seven themes of equal importance — identity; peopling; politics and power; work, exchange, and technology; America in the world; environment and geography; and ideas, beliefs, and culture — provide areas of historical inquiry for investigation throughout the course. These require students to reason historically about continuity and change over time and make comparisons among various historical developments in different times and places.

  • AP Course Descriptions AP Biology AP Biology Is an Introductory
    AP Course Descriptions AP Biology AP Biology is an introductory college-level biology course. Students cultivate their understanding of biology through inquiry-based investigations as they explore the following topics: evolution, cellular processes – energy and communication, genetics, information transfer, ecology, and interactions. Laboratory Requirement: This course requires that 25 percent of the instructional time will be spent in hands-on laboratory work, with an emphasis on inquiry-based investigations that provide students with opportunities to apply the science practices. Prerequisites: Students should have successfully completed high school courses in biology and chemistry. More information can be found on the AP Biology Course Overview Website. AP Calculus AB AP Calculus AB is roughly equivalent to a first semester college calculus course devoted to topics in differential and integral calculus. The AP course covers topics in these areas, including concepts and skills of limits, derivatives, definite integrals, and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. Students will learn how to approach calculus concepts and problems when they are represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally, and how to make connections amongst these representations. Students will also learn how to use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results, and support conclusions. Recommended Prerequisites: All students should complete the equivalent of four years of secondary mathematics designed for college-bound students: courses which should prepare them with a strong foundation in reasoning with algebraic symbols and working with algebraic structures. Prospective calculus students should take courses in which they study algebra, geometry, trigonometry, analytic geometry, and elementary functions. More information can be found on the AP Calculus AB Course Overview website.

  • Guidance on Computer Science State Course Codes
    GUIDANCE ON TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE IN WASHINGTON STATE K–12 PUBLIC SCHOOLS Authorizing legislation: HB 1577, SHB 5088 2020 COMPUTER SCIENCE STATE COURSE CODE GUIDANCE During the 2019–20 Legislative session, SHB 1577 concerning K–12 computer science education data was passed into law. Beginning June 30, 2020, and by June 30 annually after that, school districts must submit to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), and the OSPI must post conspicuously on its website, a report for the preceding academic year that must include the following data: • Total number of computer science courses offered in each school and whether these courses are advanced placement classes. • Number and percentage of students who enrolled in a computer science program. • Disaggregated by gender, race and ethnicity, special education status, English learner status, eligibility for the free and reduced-price lunch program, and grade level. • Number of computer science instructors at each school, disaggregated by certification, if applicable, gender, and highest academic degree. Data collection will be done through the Comprehensive Education Data and Research System (CEDARS), a longitudinal data system managed by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to collect, store, and report data related to students, courses, and teachers. The data collected is either mandated by state or federal law or approved by the Data Governance Group at the OSPI. CEDARS contains a course catalog of all courses in each grade offered at each public school. Student- related information in CEDARS includes each student’s gender, grade level, demographics, eligibility for specific education programs, and a record of all courses attempted by the student.
