<p>I can fit one of these two into my schedule and I am confused on which course to select. Both sound good. I really want to do the course that is the most fun. Anybody have any suggestons? Should I do another course that would be fun? I really want to have a good experience with the course that I choose.</p>
<p>Of course Physics.</p>
<p>I liked Chemistry. We're only reviewing Physics so I can't really say.</p>
<p>I have Physics right now, I took Chemistry last year... so far I like Chemistry more</p>
<p>Physics is better in my opinon. It's more math oriented if that's a plus for you. However, I'd ask around and see which teacher is more well-liked. A teacher definitely makes a difference in a course if you have no preference of your own on the subject. If it's the same teacher and you are still unsure, just decide whether or not you like math.</p>
<p>IMO chem is easier but physics is funner (as long as you don't get too caught up in getting a good grade since it can be challenging) because it's all about logic so you get to have fun arguments in class over how to solve problems.</p>
<p>chemistry. Mega awesome. I love chemistry</p>
<p>Physics!!!</p>
<p>Physics rules</p>
<p>Physicsphysicsphysicsphysicsphysics!!!
(but only pick it if
a - you've got a decent math background
b - you've got lots of time to spend working problems. if you understand physics it's AWESOME and if you don't it's hell.)</p>
<p>Chemistry all the way!!</p>
<p>What do you think? <em>cough</em> :p</p>
<p>This was my situation this year and I chose Chemisrty. I have a strong math background and got a 740 on Physics SATII.</p>
<p>1) Our Chemistry teacher has a better reputation than our physics teacher.
2) Physics is somehow teaching both the B and C levels at the same time, which doesn't really make sense to me.
3) More people do from my school do better on the Chem AP than the Physics AP.
4) No Quarterlies in Chem.
5) Chemistry complements Biology (which I'm taking concurrently) better than Physics does.
6) I figure I'll be able to pick up Physics (its more math based) quicker than I'd pick up Chemistry in an intro course in college.
7) Chemistry is one of those courses that all sciences have a foundation in. (you need some chem background for physics, bio, environmental sci, geology, and marine biology, while the same cannot be said for physics)
8) Chemistry has cooler labs (rolling stuff vs. exploding stuff).
9) There would be more chicks in the class because they generally perfer chemistry to physics because its less math based.
10) The ability to use the awesome pick-up line of you and I have some chemisrty together.
11) and PhySUCKS is commonly heard.</p>
<p>^Clearly people are unaware that physics is f=un :P</p>
<p>It depends what your strengths are. I, personally, am a visual learner. I just didn't get it in Chem when my teacher mixed a clear mixture and another clear mixture and we were supposed to understand that the result was a new mixture entirely. It looked like what. In physics, however, the teacher drops the pencil and the shoe and both hit the ground at the same time, and you can actually see it happening.</p>
<p>You're both right. Quote - unquote Homer J. Simpson.</p>
<p>I'm taking both</p>
<p>My school requires physics freshman year, at which point everyone is taking algebra 2. (Incidentally, math and science are my school's worst departments.) Unless you've already taken calculus or are currently enrolled in it, I would recommend holding off on physics--you'll be able to do more things in physics than you could otherwise. (That having been said, I don't know if your particular physics course is some easy one that uses only algebra or a good one that uses calc.)</p>
<p>pick either chem or physics, take it for two years w/ AP. then you might not have to worry about using up credit hours in college</p>
<p>Take it for two years with AP? I took AP chem in one year (unless you mean take honors then AP, 'cause yeah, that did take two years). I'm only doing Physics B, though. I should've taken it last year and done Physics C and APES this year, instead of taking Wildlife Ecology this year.</p>
<p>Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. Except laugh. Because Wildlife Ecology is technically honors, and it's the ultimate slacker class, which I had no idea of when I signed up for it.</p>
<p>yes, one year honors and one yr AP.</p>
