<p>Frosh: Intro to physics/Intro to chem for half a year each (honors)
Sophomore: AP bio
Junior: AP Chem
Senior: AP Physics (I may take APES as well)</p>
<p>From 8th grade you could be reccomended to Hon. Bio or “Integrated Science” so…</p>
<p>Freshman Yr: Honors Biology or Integrated Science
Sophomore Yr: Bio I or Academic (Reg to 11th graders) Chem or Honors Chem (Honors for 11th graders, required Algebra II to take it and a 90 avg. in Bio).
Junior Yr: Conceptual Chemistry or Academic Chemistry or Hon. Chemistry or AP Environmental Science or AP Biology or AP Physics B or AP Chemistry
Senior Yr: Science not required, you can take any of the AP Courses listed below with the addition of AP Physics C, academic courses availible are Academic Physics or Human Anatomy</p>
<p>9th Grade: Biology
10th Grade: AP Chemistry
11th Grade: AP Biology or AP Physics B. You can also take AP Environmental, but its considered one of the “joke” APs
12th Grade: Any above with the addition of AP Physics C</p>
<p>9th: Integrated Science (track 1), Biology (track 2), Honors Biology (track 3)
10th: Biology (1), Chemistry (2), Honors Chemistry (3), AP Biology (if you irritate the administration enough… only one person has recently done this)
11th: Chemistry (1), Physics (2&3), Anatomy (2&3), AP Biology/Chemistry/Physics B/Physics C/Env Sci (2&3)
12th: Physics (1-3), Anatomy (1-3), AP Bio/Chem/Phys B/Phys C/Env Sci (1-3)</p>
<p>Technically, AP Physics C has no prerequisite, but counselors etc. strongly recommend having regular physics or AP Physics B before it.</p>
<p>Me:
Honors Bio
Honors Chem (self-studied AP Phys B)
AP Chem (self-studied AP Calc BC, AP Physics C)
AP Physics C</p>
<p>I got a 4 on E&M, I don’t have lab experience, and I don’t like any of the other classes I could take, so I’m taking AP Physics C (the class) this year.</p>
<p>Math sequencing is more flexible.</p>
<p>Freshman: Honors Bio
Sophomore: Honors Chem (Maybe AP Bio simultaneously if you cut corners)
Jr: AP Chem And/Or AP Bio And/Or AP Environmental Science
Sr: Same as above but include AP Physics</p>
<p>The most advanced route would look something like this:</p>
<p>Freshman: Physical Science & Biology
Sophomore: Physics I, Chemistry I, or Zoology
Junior: Physics II, AP Chemistry
Senior: Anatomy/Physiology</p>
<p>I’ve taken all but two (Physics II and Zoology) Mine went like this:</p>
<p>Freshman: Physical Science
Sophomore: Biology
Junior: Chemistry I, Anatomy/Physiology
Senior: AP Chemistry, Physics I</p>
<p>At our school it goes:</p>
<p>Pre-Ib Bio (track 1) or AP bio (track 2) 9th
Pre-IB chem 1 (track 1) or AP chem and/or AP Physics B (track 2) 10th
IB environmental science (track 1/2) or IB chem 2 SL (1/2) and with IB chem 2 you can take AP physics C, but you must have been on track 2 all through high school 11th
IB environmental science HL (1/2, but nobody does it if they were on track 2) or IB chem 3 HL (2) then you can also dual enroll for some harder physics/bio classes.</p>
<p>BTW: a pre-ib class = honors class, and IB class = AP class.</p>
<p>Freshman year: Honors Bio (most people skip earth science altogether if given the option because, quite honestly, it sucks)
Sophomore year: Either Honors Chem or AP Bio (most go honors chem)
Junior year: Vast majority go AP Physics B. A very select few decide to go with AP Chem, and the teacher for AP Chem here is a madman.
Senior year: AP Physics C for most. Some who took AP Bio or AP Chem go for AP Physics B.
There’s also a Genetics class if you decide to take it after taking AP Bio. Looked interesting, but I couldn’t stand Bio.</p>
<p>I’m going with the flow. Physics also happens to be my favorite science, so that helps.</p>
<p>I’ve never realized a lot of people generally take Env Science freshmen year…I’m pretty sure our school has actually cut that class from existence and it was an elective before.</p>
<p>fresh: Honors Bio or Biology I
soph: Honors Chemistry or ICP (Integrated Chemistry and Physics)
junior: Chem II and Chem AP, sometimes Physics AP, and sometimes Physics II in conjunction. but not enough people took it this year, so we’re not offering either
senior: Biology AP, sometimes Biology II in conjunction</p>
<p>Looking at all of these I start to realize how jacked up our system is…it’s like freshmen and sophomore years are cake and then suddenly the world starts pouring rain on you. </p>
<p>Usually you’ll have at least one elective spot in your schedule, which you can start filling up with any of the science electives by sophomore year but usually junior, which are the following:</p>
<p>astronomy (pretty much a joke class)
microbiology
anatomy & physiology (they might have actually cut this…don’t know)
marine biology (offered every other year)</p>
<p>I’ve come to thinking how stupid my school might be…</p>
<p>My school Honors program goes like this (I’m currently taking this route, I’m a Sophomore)
-Freshman: AB Physics (there’s no merit it’s an honors course)
-Sophomore: Honors Biology & Honors Chemistry
-Junior: AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, AP Physics C
-Senior: Same thing as Junior</p>
<p>Fresman: Accelerated Science 1
Sophomore: Accel. Sci. 2
Junior: IB SL phys/chem/bio
Senior IB HL Phys/Chem/Bio</p>
<p>i did</p>
<p>6th grade: new york state life science
summer going into 7th: earth science regents
7th: biology honors regents
summer going into 8th: chemistry honors regents
8th: AP Physics B (took regents) and AP Environmental
9th: AP Biology and AP Chemistry
(right now)10th: AP Physics C Mechanics and AP Physics C E&M
11th: Physics III
12th: Organic Chemistry</p>
<p>9th: Honors Biology
10th: Honors Chem and/or AP Bio
11th: AP Chem and/or AP Bio
12th: AP Physics C: Mech</p>
<p>9: Bio H
10: Chem H
11: Physics B
12: Physics C</p>
<p>9: Honors Biology
10: Honors Chemistry
11-12: AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics B, AP Physics C, AP Environmental Science</p>
<p>I think the smartest kids usually do AP Chemistry Junior Year because Honors Chemistry is still fresh in their mind. Some will double up with AP Biology or AP Physics B/C. Then they usually finish whatever is left senior year… though most don’t even bother with APES.</p>
<p>I did things weirdly. I did Honors Biology (by accident lol, I signed up for regular), then regular Chemistry, now I’m taking AP Physics B, and I might take Astronomy senior year.</p>
<p>9: Pre-AP Bio
10: Pre-AP Chem
11: Pre-AP Physics (some take AP Chem or Bio in addition)
12: Any science inc. Food Science, Earth & Space, etc., but most do AP Bio/Chem/Physics B or C</p>
<p>9: Physical Science [Yuck only our state “required” such a class, I skipped] Biology Honors/regular</p>
<p>10: Chem/Physics Regular Honors (and random classes like physics tech lol) and those from above, I took Chem/Phys. Honors</p>
<p>11: AP/IB Bio/Chem and those from above</p>
<p>12: the above classes</p>
<p>apparently in my new school the class of 2014 is the only class who is doing Bio -> chem+ phys -> IB Bio (2 years)</p>
<p>in my old school (and my concept of a regular progression) : Bio → Chem+ Phys → AP/IB… → AP/IB…</p>
<p>I really wish a school would do AP ES → AP Bio → AP Chem → AP Physics B+C… :D</p>
<p>Freshman: Honors biology OR honors physical science
Sophomore: Honors chemistry OR honors biology
Junior: No honors physics 1, so go straight into either AP physics B (no C at my school), AP bio, APES, or AP Chem (only every other year though)
Senior: Same as above.</p>
<p>For advanced students wanting to to take 4 years of science it’s
Freshman Regular Biology
Sophomore Hon Chem
Junior Anatomy hon*
Senior AP Bio*</p>
<p>*These two are interchangeable some take AP BIO first and vice versa.</p>
<p>I’m trying to to get the school to teach Physics honors so I can take it instead of Anatomy. They have regular physics so it’d be easy for them to start an honors.</p>
<p>Most advanced route is:
freshman: honors bio
sophomore: honors chem/ap chem (only a few students a year take ap chem sophomore year though)
junior: physics c mech/physics b/ap chem/ap bio
senior: same as junior but with also physics c e&m</p>
