Physics Honors
Prerequisites:
90 or higher in College Preparatory Chemistry or 85 or higher in Honors Chemistry AND85 or higher in Geometry Honors or higher level Honors Math courseCourse Description:
Environmental science is a year-long, non-laboratory course dealing with basic ecological principles. This course will include these major topics: ecological terms, the major earth biomes, alternate forms of energy, human population issues, endangered species, land management and discussions on current environmental issues. The goal of this course is to provide the student with a broad understanding of the environment and to demonstrate the interconnectedness of all things, both living and non-living.Special Notes:
Students enrolled in this course are required to compete in a national competition.AP Physics I
AP Physics I
Prerequisites:
97 or higher in all previous and current College Prep Science courses or90 or higher in all previous and current Honors Science courses or 85 or higher in all previous and current AP Science courses AND87 or higher in Algebra II Honors or Honors Precalculus with TrigCourse Description:
AP Physics 1 is an algebra-based, college-level physics course in which students explore a variety of physics concepts such as Kinematics, force and translational dynamics, energy, momentum, oscillations, and fluids. This course is the equivalent of the first course in an introductory college course in algebra based physics. Hands-on and inquiry-based in-class activities will be done throughout the school year to gain a better understanding of the relationship between matter and energy.Special Notes:
Students enrolled in this course may be required to complete a summer assignment. Students in this course are required to take the Advanced Placement Exam; AP Exam fees will be processed through FACTS account.AP Physics II
AP Physics II
Prerequisites:
Successful completion of AP Physics ICourse Description:
AP Physics 2 is an algebra-based, introductory college-level physics course. Students gain understanding of physics by developing models of physical phenomena through inquiry-based investigations. The course covers topics such as thermodynamics, electric force, field, and potential, electric circuits, magnetism and electromagnetism, geometric optics, waves, sounds, and physical objects, and modern physics. This will be a challenging course as it is equivalent to the second course of an introductory college course in algebra based physics.Special Notes:
Students enrolled in this course are required to complete a summer assignment. Students in this course are required to take the Advanced Placement Exam; AP Exam fees will be processed through FACTS account.Page updated
