Students will be exposed to the use of computers through data collection, analysis and presentation. The Honors Science course emphasizes a deeper conceptual and mathematical approach to the same concepts covered in the regular Science course. Students will work at a faster pace with extended learning opportunities. To apply for the Honors Science course, registration materials must be filled out and specific requirements met in February of eighth grade. Regardless of which ninth grade science course is chosen, there is no limitation to taking further science courses during high school.
Limitations begin with course choice made during the sophomore year.
It is highly recommended that students wishing to pursue advanced or multiple science courses at Arrowhead, double up during their sophomore year. All students will register for Biology or Honors Biology. Doubling up can occur with Biology and Chemistry or Biology and Physics. Chemistry and Physics have their own prerequisites. To take Chemistry, a student must have successfully completed Science or Honors Science, Algebra and Geometry.
