allinthefamily Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 My dd has completed physical science, biology, and almost chemistry. I am considering having her dual enroll for her junior and senior year of high school. If she were to take biology as a dual enrolled student would that count as a 4th science? I was thinking maybe it could be advanced biology. Or do you think I could only count one biology? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kassia Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I would count it as a second biology. The first is a high school level class while the second is a college level class. Many students in ps will take a year of biology and then a year of AP biology and that counts as two years of science. Erica 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 It would count. No different than students at school first taking a regular science and then the same science as AP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Many public school kids take biology in 9th and then take AP biology later. Both bio counts so the student graduate with four lab sciences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 My dd is planning on doing just that this fall. We will count it as a second Biology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluedarling Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'm in the same boat with dd, whose planning to take bio 9th, chem 10th, then enter a DE program requiring biology and lots of chem. She will have never had physics!! But will have more than enough "science". She had earth science in MS and environmental with some engineering/design stuff, but no physics! Do you let the physics go? (That is fine with her, but I'm a bit concerned. My husband suggests a summer of physics "lite"?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
