Chemistry 4 (Chem 4) Frontiers of Chemistry.

The Chemistry course primarily focuses


on reactions and interactions that compounds undergo. It provides students the avenue to
explore the chemistry of organic, inorganic and biological compounds and the applications
these have on health, environment and the industry. It emphasizes an understanding of the
compounds structures as related to function and properties. The course also offers
opportunities for students to learn about frontiers in Chemistry by concentrating discussions
and activities in the field of material, environmental, food and medical sciences.
Different levels of science inquiry skills are developed among students by the use of a
practical approach and by allowing them to engage in the design, development and conduct
of investigative activities. An emphasis on the use of analytical tools and instrumentation
hopes to cultivate laboratory competencies needed to enrich their inquiry skills.
Note: The Advanced Level covers additional topics and activities (bold and italics).

Mathematics 6 (Math 6) Integral Calculus and Linear Algebra. This course


intends to equip students with thorough understanding of calculus and basic linear
algebra in preparation to advance coursework in mathematics, sciences and
engineering. The learning process includes lecture-discussion, discovery and
inquiry-based learning, mind / concept mapping strategy, computer-aided
instructions and cooperative activities that help students improve their problem-
solving, logical and critical thinking skills.
Mathematics 6 gives students the knowledge and skills in integral calculus and
basic linear algebra which are prerequisite in understanding concepts in
engineering and some sciences. The subject includes major topics such as
techniques of integration, application of integrals, polar coordinates, vectors, and
matrices. The students are exposed to different approaches in solving problems in
order to develop logical and computational skills.
Level 1 is designed to provide students with the basic knowledge of the subject
necessary in their future coursework in different fields of sciences. Level 2 on the
other hand presents students with more advanced concepts of the subject
intended primarily for students who plan to pursue engineering and mathematics
degrees. Moreover, Level 2 is differentiated to Level 1 with additional topics in
every quarter.

Research 3 Research for a Sustainable Development. The course provides the


Learners opportunities to apply the research process and integrate knowledge and
skills in their chosen specialization in the Sciences, Technology, Engineering,
Agriculture, and Mathematics by going through the various stages of research,
namely conceptualization, data collection, analysis and communication.
Scholars are encouraged to come up with innovative and inventive solutions to
identified problems, using their current knowledge and skills as a starting point,
and expanding their knowledge base independently, as necessary.
The course also allows scholars to extend and properly validate their research and
share generated knowledge with a target audience. Recognizing that research
usually entails involvement of a multitude of disciplines, scholars are encouraged
to collaborate and interact with other research teams in the second phase of their
research, and to consider aspects of their research which may lead to product
development and/or commercialization.
