“C” or below in Algebra, you take physical science first. You will need a calculator and 3 ring binder. Course description: This is a rigorous, lab-based course. Concepts covered include the nature of matter and energy as well as many concepts related to understanding and describing chemical reactions. Mathematical skills needed to succeed in the course are part of the advanced algebra curriculum.
Advanced Placement Chemistry Grade level: 11-12 Credits: 1 Length: 2 semester Prerequisites: Chemistry Considerations: Completion of advanced algebra recommended. You will need a calculator and 3 ring binder. Recommended for pre-med., pre-engineering, & computer science majors. Course description: This is a rigorous course designed to mimic one year of college chemistry. Students are expected to take the AP Chemistry examination upon completion of the course. Students will be required to synthesize multiple concepts in order to solve complex problems. Good study skills and a strong work ethic are required.
Grade Level: 10 Credits: 1 Length: 2 semesters Course description: This course focuses on the study of the Earth, the environment, and it’s natural forces. Students will be introduced to topics such as the Universe, Earth’s history, plate tectonics, various forces of nature, weather, climate, and current world environmental issues. Concepts are introduced through hands-on labs and activities placed throughout the course.
