1 Science Courses In our modern technological world, every person is in contact with science and technology in multiple ways and forms each and every day. At Eastview High School we will prepare students to successfully understand and compete in the rapidly changing world of science and technology. Requirements: Every student is required to take a minimum of 12 quarter courses (3 years). Science credits may be completed in a number of different classes at different levels. It is very important that you register for the science class that best fits your background, skills, scholarly habits and future plans. Changing to a different course partway through the school year can be a very difficult situation, and there is no guarantee that a change could happen. You are advised to register for the course that you are most likely to learn the most in and complete successfully, not just try out. If you are uncertain about correct registration and placement, please see your counselor or current science teacher. Near the end of the school year, re-check your registration and make any necessary changes at that time. The below flowcharts provide three suggested paths of study for science students at EVHS. LEVEL 1: Suggested for those students who have experienced difficulty with science and are planning a career immediately after high school. Earth/Physical Science Biology Chemistry Foundations (11th or 12th Grade) LEVEL 2: Suggested for those students who desire a standard high school curriculum necessary for entrance to most colleges, universities, and technical institutes. To be successful at this level, a student must have a solid math (for chemistry and physics) background along with good classroom, study and homework skills. Earth/Physical Science or Honors Earth/Physical Science Biology or Honors Biology Chemistry or Honors Chemistry Physics or AP Physics 1 (core) with option to take CIS Anatomy LEVEL 3: This level is suggested for students who desire a challenging science curriculum, and/or are considering a career or major that requires a rigorous science preparation. These are college-preparatory courses. To be successful, students need a strong math background and excellent classroom, study, attendance, and homework habits. Due to the rigorous nature of the courses at this level, successful completion (generally indicated by a B or better) in each class is suggested before progressing to the next class. Honors Earth/Physical Science * Summer assignment required Honors Chemistry AP Biology* (core) with option to take CIS Anatomy or AP Chemistry* (recommended) AP Physics 1 or C* (core) with option to take CIS Anatomy (recommended) or AP Chemistry* 12

Hon Earth/Physical Sci B Recommendation: "A" grades in middle school science and concurrent registration in Honors Geometry or higher math course. This is a year-long course for advanced science students. Students are expected to be independent thinkers and workers. This is a coordinated science course with physics, chemistry and earth science. Incorporating these three scientific themes allows students to revisit fundamental scientific principles throughout the course as they transfer and apply their learning in new contexts. Additionally, the course is designed to implement mathematics (algebraic expressions, equations, dimensional analysis and graphs) as a means to understand the world. There will be an emphasis on problem solving, application, analysis and synthesis of data as a method of reinforcing the learning.
