Science Course GuideThe recommended science course sequence is: Biology (9th Grade)Chemistry (10th Grade)Physics (11th Grade)Electives (12th Grade)All students are required to successfully complete a minimum of three years of a lab science course to meetNJ graduation requirements. All student must take a biology course. Students will continue their scienceeducation with courses in chemistry, physics, environmental science, or Earth and space science. Coursesmeeting these graduation requirements are denoted in the course listings (with NJ). Students will take acomprehensive state assessment in the spring of their junior year. More than ninety percent of EastBrunswick students take a fourth year of science.The Science Department offers a sequence of courses at the Academic and Honors levels, as well asenrichment electives and AP courses. The courses are designed to provide meaningful, viable choices at eachgrade level for all interest and skill levels. Student career goals play a major part in the development ofthe science curriculum. The goal of academic courses is to provide a strong foundation for students so theycan be successful in any of the entry-level science courses chosen in college. The Honors sequence enablesstudents to take achievement tests, such as the SAT subject tests. The enrichment electives make studentsaware of the applications of science. Several courses, as noted in the course listings, can be taken for collegecredit from Middlesex County College.*A waiver form, signed by the Science Supervisor or Science Department Chairperson must be used for anyvariations from the prerequisites stated in this guide for grade 9-12 courses, including taking courses insummer school for advancement and taking two full-year science courses concurrently.
