Four semesters of science are required for graduation.Two of the four semesters must be in “lab science” courses.

Most four-year colleges require that at least one year of a student’s high school science experience be in a biology, chemistry, or physics course. Completion of Inquiry Science I-IV meets the four-year college requirement for biology credit.

Our science courses are sequenced through four levels as shown below. Generally speaking, to register for a course, students must have taken a course at the previous level.

Level One:

Inquiry Science I-II – Earth Science Lab

Level Two:

Inquiry Science III-IV – Biology Lab,
Plant Science
Animal Science

Level Three:

Chemistry
UW Geology
AP Environmental Science
Astronomy
Marine Science

Level Four:

Physics
Anatomy & Physiology
