I. Science Department Philosophy
The Holy Family Science Department works to awaken in the students a curiosity about the world around them and
a sense of social and spiritual responsibility toward it. To succeed in meeting the challenges facing students today,
the science department provides students with intellectual tools that prepare them for success in college and the
world beyond. This curriculum prepares the student to become a scientifically literate citizen in our culturally
diverse world.
II. Course Description
This class, designed to meet the needs of students seeking a career in the health professions, will
introduce them to the fundamentals of human anatomy and physiology. It builds on the knowledge
previously acquired in the biology and chemistry classes, and seeks to make strong connections with such
knowledge. The goal is to thoroughly prepare students for University-level classes while providing an
interactive, hands-on approach to the science curriculum. It will bring students to experience, hands-on,
the high power of the scientific method of when applied to solve problems taken from the field of life
science.
Materials: There are a couple of items that will help you be successful in Anatomy & Physiology.
The items should be brought every day and will count toward your participation grade in class
 1” or larger three- ring binder- binder set up will be discussed in class
 Binder dividers
 Loose, lined paper.
 Writing instruments (Pen or Pencil)

 Flash Cards for quizzes
 Textbook: Fundamentals of Anatomy & Physiology, Martini? Nath/ Bartholomew 9th ed.
 iPad
Late Work: Students will be given as many days as absent to make up homework. Missed labs must
be arranged for at lunch or after school.
Grading Policy: Your semester grade will be based upon the points you accumulate with
