From the Science Department
It’s that time! Students are registering for classes for the 2019-20 school year. In the science department, we’re taking with students about their options. The guidelines we use were developed district-wide and will help students prepare for the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science, the statewide exam given at the end of the 11th grade.
Current 9th Graders:
Ninth graders who are currently in Biology need to take chemistry next year, choosing between Conceptual Chemistry or Quantitative Chemistry. The biggest difference between these two courses is the emphasis on mathematics, with students in Quantitative being expected to use algebra. Students who intend to take AP science courses are also recommended to take Quantitative Chemistry.
Current 10th Graders:
Students currently taking chemistry should sign up for physics, choosing between Physics and AP Physics. AP Physics utilizes more advanced math than Physics. Students who take AP Physics should have completed Algebra II.
Current 11th Graders:
We encourage current 11th graders who have already taken biology, chemistry, and physics to enroll in one or more of our many science electives, such as AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, Astronomy, Environmental Science, Forensics, Ocean Science and Sports Medicine.
Accelerated Options:
For students considering a career in the sciences, we encourage students to take an accelerated path by doubling up on science courses. For example, a current 9th grader could take both chemistry and physics next year, or they could take chemistry and Forensics, Ocean Science, or another science elective. A current 10th grader in chemistry could sign up for physics next year, but could also take an AP science course, for example.
Hope to see your child in our science classes! 😊
