Science Scheduling

After Biology, Honors students are eligible to complete the following AP classes: 

• AP Environmental Science

• AP Physics 1

Please talk with your current science teacher to make sure these classes are a good fit for your schedule and career goals.

You should also make sure that you have signed up for Honors Advanced Topics in Chemistry so that you are eligible for more upper-level electives and AP classes later in high school.

Absolutely! It is highly recommended that students in the career and technology programs continue taking science classes at South Carroll. 

Science classes at South Carroll provide a great deal of background and foundational information that make students more successful in their programs at career and tech. Students also benefit from the added laboratory skills and content knowledge gained from completing science classes at South Carroll.

Career Majors are course sequences within a specific career cluster and pathway which enable a student to work toward a career option not addressed by a career and technology completer program. A minimum of four (4) credits of specified cross curricular course work constitutes a career major. Completing a career major makes students eligible to complete an internship while still in high school .

The science related career majors are: 

• Environmental Health

• Food and Nutrition Science

• Life Sciences

• Physical Science

• Sports and Recreation

• Urban and Regional Planning

Advanced Topics in Chemistry is highly recommended for students who intend to go to college. 

Advanced Topics in Chemistry is a prerequisite for Human Anatomy and Physiology, AP Chemistry, and AP Biology.

The science department recommends you take Advanced Topics in Chemistry prior to taking:

• Science Research

• AP Physics

• AP Environmental Studies

• Honors Earth/Space Science

Understanding the concepts covered in Chemistry will help you to succeed at these classes.

Advanced Topics in Chemistry will complete your preparation for college-level chemistry. Chemistry of Earth and Space is not a full college-prep chemistry class. If you intend to pursue a college major or a career in a science or technical field, you will have to take a college-level chemistry course. Advanced Topics in Chemistry will prepare you to succeed in your future college-level course.

Advanced Topics in Chemistry is an impressive course for your transcript and demonstrates the rigor college admissions programs are looking for when considering your application.

You will need to take college chemistry classes to prepare for many of careers and college majors or as a general education requirement.

Advanced Topics in Chemistry is hard work, but fun!  You will perform many laboratory experiments that are on the college-level, with lots of guidance and instruction to help you fully understand the content.

The best person to ask about scheduling your next science class is your current (or most recent) science teacher.
