4. STEP 2
Look at the core class recommendations that are highlighted on the back. These are the courses that your previous teachers have recommended that you take based on your effort and performance in their class.

5. SCIENCE COURSES You MUST pass 3 Science classes to graduate
All students are required to take Biology, Chemistry and/or Physics, and a 3rd lab science to graduate
Seniors needing a 3rd required science or want to take any additional science can choose from the following additional courses:
Ecology
Anatomy & Physiology
AP Environmental Science
AP Biology
AP Physics
AP Chemistry

6. SCIENCE DESCRIPTIONS
Ecology- Develops student understanding of the natural environment and environmental problems the world faces.
Biology-Develops student understanding of the diversity and unity of living things.
Physics-Students study the interrelationships between matter and energy.
Chemistry I (CP) -Develops student understanding of the relevance of chemistry as it relates to standard of living, career choices, and current issues in science and technology. Students must have already passed Algebra 1.
(continued)

7. SCIENCE DESCRIPTIONS CONTINUED
Anatomy and Physiology-Students study the body’s structures and respective functions.
AP Environmental Science-Students will learn scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the natural world, identify environmental problems, and evaluate risks associated with those problems on a first year college level. Students must have completed Biology and Chemistry and have a teacher recommendation.
AP Biology-A year-long accelerated, in-depth course studying molecular and cellular biology, genetics, evolution and organismal and population biology on a first-year college level. Students must have completed Biology and Chemistry and have a teacher recommendation.
(continued)

8. SCIENCE DESCRIPTIONS CONTINUED
AP Chemistry-A year long course offering accelerated in-depth coverage on chemistry topics in the areas of structure and states of matter, kinetic theory, chemical reactions including kinetics, and the concepts of thermodynamics on a first year college level. Students must have already passed Chemistry (usually Honors), Algebra 1 and 2, have a teacher recommendation, and also be enrolling in an advanced math.
Honors/AP Physics-A year long course where students study the interrelationships between matter and energy at a more accelerated pace that leads into the first year college level AP course covering Newtonian mechanics; work, energy and sound; and mechanical waves and sounds. Students must have already passed Geometry, have a teacher recommendation, and be currently enrolled in Algebra 2.
