Freshman Science Courses 2017-2018

Science Graduation Requirements Biology Physical Science or Physics 8th grade Physical Science DOES fill this requirement 2 additional science courses ONE of these must be Chemistry, Environmental Science, Earth Systems, OR an AP/IB Science

Science Courses Offered Biology AP Physics 1 Honors Biology AP Physics C: Mechanics Physical Science AP Biology Chemistry AP Chemistry Honors Chemistry AP Environmental Science Earth Systems IB Biology HL Environmental Science IB Physics HL Human Anatomy and Physiology IB Chemistry SL Forensic Science IB Environmental Studies SL Physics

9th Grade Course Options All freshmen must take Biology 8th grade teachers may recommend students for the on-level or honors course Biology is a graduation requirement 20% of the Biology grade is determined by the End of Course (EOC) test

Honors Biology Rigorous course that will prepare students for AP/IB Biology Recommended students must meet the following criteria: Proficient score on Life Science EOG Milestones assessment High grade in Advanced Physical Science (without test retakes) Routinely superior classroom performance as compared to classmates Strong study habits and above average maturity Strong math student Skills/ability to complete rigorous research projects

On Level Biology For students that do not meet the requirements for the honors course or do not wish to take AP/IB Biology The on-level course: Prepares students for the End of Course exam Allows students to pursue advanced science courses later in high school Is taught by outstanding, knowledgeable teachers

Waivers Students who waive against teacher recommendation into the Honors Biology course typically make lower grades than those who were recommended. Students are STRONGLY encouraged to follow teacher recommendations.

Typical Science Pathways Biology Earth Systems Chemistry Honors Chemistry Environmental Science Anatomy Forensics Physics AP/IB Sciences Honors Biology Chemistry Honors Chemistry Anatomy Forensics Physics AP/IB Sciences

The Math-Science Connection Students are not required to take accelerated math courses to meet the prerequisites for AP/IB sciences. However, Chemistry and Physics classes require strong math abilities.

Tips for Science Success Complete formative assignments to prepare for summative assessments Study a little each and every day Seek out extra help when you need it – we are here to help!
