[quote=Anonymous]For science it’s recommended that the sequence is physics, chemistry, biology because it builds on concepts from one to another. Physics 1 is just mechanics, while Physics 2 covers a lot more (thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, modern). The issue is it does require Algebra 2, and not many students have room two years of physics. For a student that took Algebra 2 in 8th, it can work taking AP Physics 1 in 9th, AP Physics 2 in 10th, AP Chemistry in 11th, and AP Biology in 12th. If he really loves physics he could also take both AP Physics C in 11th or 12th after taking either of the AP Calculus. This is useful if he goes into a STEM field and he wants to get college credit for the physics class. You don’t get credit for Physics 1 and 2. For physics it really helps if the student is accelerated in math, no way around it.[/quote]
