AP Bio and Chem are two periods at our HS so you’re taking fewer classes.

It's not a prerequisite for college level courses except perhaps one every specific major.
Any individual school may be different, but this is the general truth.
It's not a really easy AP like Human Geography. The curriculum is cool and covers a lot of the earth sciences missed in MCPS Bio/Chem/Physics track.
I thought the new NGSS Bio, Chem, and Physics classes now have Earth Science in them. That is what my student said.
Yes, the NGSS Bio/Chem/Physics courses include the related NGSS Earth-Space Science topics. But they are piecemeal and from the relevant course perspective. APES is focused on environmental science and includes the human related aspects.

In our HS, kids who fear Physics take APES. But the teacher says on Day 1 that if they think it is an easy class, they are mistaken. It is a lot of work, and has AP rubrics to deal with like complex FRQs

It’s a lot of work. There’s a lot of reading and memorization. Sort of a hybrid between a science and social studies class. A lot of people underestimate the class difficulty and do poorly. But it’s an interesting class.

It’s supposed to be one of the easier AP classes.

Is this a hard class compared to other science classes?
