Chez J Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 My dd wants to be an architect or interior designer. For admissions to Arch. school at UT (to just pick a random university), she will need to have AP Physics and AP Calc. I'm guessing those would be senior year. Can you work backward ending with 8th or 7th grade to show the me the sequence for math and science we would take to get there. I am espeically confused on the science sequence.

Mom22ns Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 7th - Earth, Life or General Science could all be used, Pre-Algebra 8th - Physical Science, Algebra 9th - Biology, Geometry 10th - Chemistry, Algebra II 11th - Physics, Pre-Calc 12th - AP Physics, AP Calc You can probably do AP Physics without a high school level Physics first, but it will be easier having had it.

Debbie what curriculum would be best to get us there? We are young earthers. Also what is "pre-calc?" I've also seen something called college algebra. Where does that fit?

Musicmom Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Apologia would be a good choice for 7th-11th (i.e. General Science through Physics). Or Rainbow Science for 7th-8th followed by Apologia Bio, Chem and Physics (which is what we did. I did Rainbow first because it looked more colorful and engaging and I didn't want to risk burning my kids out on Apologia before high school.) For AP Physics, you'll probably need to find an online course. You'll also need to research whether to do AP Physics B (non-calculus based) or C (calculus based, but can usually be done if taking calculus at the same time). I don't know which would be better for architecture, but I'd guess C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Also what is "pre-calc?" I've also seen something called college algebra. Where does that fit? Precalculus is usually a combination of College Algebra (sometimes called Algebra 3) plus Trigonometry. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Bob Jones would be a good choice in young earth science that is still rigorous. Their sequence goes: 7th grade - Life Science 8th grade - Earth Science skip this and move to their 9th grade Physical Science 9th grade - Biology 10th grade - Chemistry 11th grade - Physics Then you can take an online AP Physics in 12th or just self study for the AP Physics exam after BJU Physics. Pre-Calc is what we used to call trig/math analysis when I was in school. Some places offer a pre-calc class, some offer trig, some offer combinations. When you get there, you will see what comes next in your sequence. Math is pretty easy to follow sequentially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez J Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Apologia or BJU? I see more about Apologia on the hive. How do they compare for rigour? Also, what is the theology of each? What denomination? I ask because a sample page on BJU has dominionism. Hadn't expected to see that in a science book.

Chez J Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Also, is there a reason for keeping life science and dropping earth science? I personally would prefer to keep earth science. But, I don't know about how they impact pre-reqs. and sequence. Thanks again. Lesley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
