  1. Science Course Selection Advice for signing up for the correct science course

  2. Class of 2014Science Choices: Regular Biology OR Honors Biology which has more intense reading/writing skills. This is for students who want to challenge themselves or pursue science after high school.

  3. Class of 2014 Completed Honors Biology • You can sign up for Honors Chemistry (Algebra II or concurrent) • AP Biology (concurrent Chemistry) • Honors Physics (Algebra II or concurrent) • Zoology (if Biology is completed and chemistry is concurrent)

  4. Classes of 2012 and 2013 • The following courses are available

  5. Chemistry • For 4 year college bound students • This is a physical science course that explores matter, chemical bonding, chemical equations and stoichiometry. RegularHonors -completed Alg I or -completed Alg II Int I and II or concurrent

  6. AP Chemistry • This is a second full year chemistry course that is offered at the college level. • Additional Lab time is required. • Recommendations: Successful completion of Chemistry or Honors Chemistry and Algebra II

  7. Physics • For 4 year college bound students • This is a physical science course that studies motion, light, sound, heat and energy. RegularHonors -Completion of Alg I -Completion or and Geometry concurrent of Alg II

  8. AP Physics • This is a second full year course of physics that is comparable to a general physics course in college. • Additional lab time is required. • Recommendations: Successful completion of Honors Physics and Algebra II.

  9. Ecology • This is a life science course designed to study the environment and human impacts. **Honors Ecology recommends successful completion of Alg I or Integrated I and II

  10. AP Environmental • Is a second year life science course taught at the college level. • Additional lab time is required. • Recommendation: Successful completion of a life science course.

  11. Geology • This is a physical science course designed to study the Earth and processes taking place on Earth. **Honors Geology students need to have successfully completed Alg I.

  12. Anatomy and Physiology (Honors credit) • This is a college level life science course that studies the body systems and their functions. Students will dissect a cat to help aid their understanding. • Heavy emphasis on lab practicals and techniques. • Designed to prepare students for health and medical related fields. • Recommendations: Successful completion of Biology & passage of science OGT.

  13. Zoology • This is a life science course that introduces students to invertebrate and vertebrate organisms. (uses a college textbook) • Emphasis is placed on lab practicals and field study activities. • Recommendations: Successful completion of Physical Science and Biology. • Recommended for College bound students

  14. Materials Science • This is a physical science course that is hands on and includes inquiry based projects. • Emphasis is placed on engineering, chemistry, and physics. • Recommendation: chemistry or strong performance in physical science I and II.

  15. AP Biology • This is a second full year of Biology and designed to reflect a college level Biology course. • Additional Lab time is required. • Recommendations: Successful completion of Biology or Honors Biology and Chemistry (or concurrent enrollment).

  16. IB Science(all 2 year courses) • IB High level Physics • IB Standard level Chemistry • IB Biology • (Passage of OGT Math, Science & Reading, a B average in previous 2 sciences. Alg II recommended for physics.)

  17. STEM Courses • Rigorous Early College options in Science, Math and Technology • Ensure that learning is relevant to the real world and science related jobs. • Enrollment in PSEO at OSU, Otterbein or Columbus State

  18. STEM Bodies Juniors and Seniors only • Bodies 1- (AP weighted) For students interested in Biomedical Field. PSEO admission required to Ohio State. ACT 26 GPA 3.8 (also includes English Class) Biomedical and Human Body Systems along with Bio 113 and Bio 114 at OSU 4 periods including English • Bodies 2- (AP weighted) Medical Innovations- Same requirements as above. Working with Ohio Health in the latest medical innovations and senior research project. Engineering Anatomy and Stats from OSU. (might not be on course sign up) 3 periods including OSU statistics • Bodies Alliance- Columbus State CC Human Body Systems and enrollment in Med Tech or Vet Tech Program ACT 22 and GPA 2.7 (Might not be on course sign up) 2 periods

  19. STEM Environ (Pending Approval)Juniors and Seniors Only • Understanding Global Challenges and the environment. Dual enrollment with AP Environmental and Otterbein University Life Science Department . • PSEO enrollment GPA 3.45 and ACT 23 • (Might not be on course sign up)
