Short version is take what she's interested in learning and exploring.  MCPS junior son currently is taking honors physics.  Thought process when signing up for courses before COVID struck was as follows: (1) wasn't sure whether he wanted to take APES or AP Physics C as a senior, wanted to be exposed to physics before making decision and honors physics was a prerequisite; (2) Maryland is/was changing the mandatory science exam to include physics -- although it's not a requirement for his graduating class, he wanted to be prepared for it; and (3) liked concept of physics and was not a fan of chem or biology (seemed at time to have possible civil/mechanical engineering interest).  Son has registered for APES and IB Sports Medicine for senior year.  Although he is doing well in the class, being taught physics via DL killed off a lot of hard science interest at the moment.  Other son (2020 grad) took AP Biology as a junior and APES as a senior.  2020 grad got into several schools without taking physics -- took GAP year, but intends on studying economics or psychology.[/quote]
