Prerequisites: Biology and Geometry Recommendation(s): 77 or better in Biology and Geometry and Science teacher recommendation Chemistry Honors 10,11,12 This is the same course as Chemistry, but is conducted at a faster pace so the same topics can be covered in greater depth. Students with excellent math skills and a desire to learn are encouraged to choose this option. Credits: 1 Unit Honors Next in Sequence: Honors Physics, Anatomy and Physiology, Honors Environmental Science, or Advanced Biology Prerequisites: Biology and Geometry Recommendation(s): 85 or higher in Biology and Geometry and science teacher recommendation Physics Honors 11,12 Honors Physics includes a strong emphasis on data analysis and problem solving. Students enrolled in Honors Physics should have a strong interest in science; possess excellent math (geometry, trigonometry and algebra) skills and an innate curiosity. The course includes a study of mechanics, waves, and electricity. Fulfills Physical Science requirement. Credits: 1 Unit Honors Next in Sequence: Anatomy and Physiology, Honors Environmental Science, or Advanced Biology Prerequisites: Chemistry and Algebra II Recommendation(s): 85 or higher in Chemistry and Algebra and science teacher recommendation Honors Research Seminar Grade 9,10,11,12 Students interested in taking Honors Science Research Seminar will apply the preceding winter. If accepted, students will learn about the process of science as they conduct original scientific research into topics of their choosing. They will be supported by both the teacher and scientist mentors as they choose their topic of interest, develop a testable question, design a procedure, collect and analyze data, and present their findings. Credits: 1 Unit Honors Prerequisites: Application and Acceptance Requirements: Attendance at Summer Orientation (3 days in June) and participation in at least one science competition
