Chris in PA Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Hi all, Does anyone know why Dr. Wile states that you need to have an entire year of chemistry before taking this course? For those of you who have used this curriculum, is it necessary? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyinLA Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 with NO problems. I asked Jay Wile at a convention and he said it would be fine. I didn't find there to be anything that required Chemistry. I'm just thinking that he might want to be sure the Chem gets done so he puts the advanced classes after?!?

Guest Katia Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Yep, you'll have no problems. My dd did it directly after the regular Biology course and she did just fine. We aren't doing Chemistry until 12th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaurieM Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 From Apologia's forum: Students will learn concepts in Chemistry that they will need when they take Advanced Biology. These concepts are not "re-taught" in Advance Biology, it's just assumed that they learned them in Chemistry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly IN Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 The only thing I can think of is the math. Now with that said.... In high school I took Chemistry and Bio 2 at the same time. In my Chemistry class it was all labwork with very minimul math involved. I plan on doing Biology 2 before Chemistry. My plan is to have Chemistry be in 11th grade or 12th grade. I want to add Marine Biology before that as well. Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in PA Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 My dd wants to go to nursing school and our co-op is offering it next year. I really wanted her to have it because she needs the anatomy. Now I know how to plan. :D Thanks everyone!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
