Astronomy
This is a new class to Shepherd High School as of spring semester 2015. It was added to the curriculum to offer junior and senior students another option of science classes and give students more variety in their high school education.
Astronomy is the study of the universe beyond the Earth. We will investigate the basic elements of Astronomy and dive into the relationships of the objects found in space. We will also investigate the connection between Astronomy and the world we live in on Earth. This class will require more discussion of topics and research than students see in Physical Science and Biology, therefore discussion and participation in class will be graded as well as projects, tests and quizzes.
