Momto4inSoCal Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I have an upcoming 8th grader who really wants to take physics next year. She's finishing AoPs Algebra this year so I felt she was ready and signed her up for Clover Creek physics next year. She'll be taking geometry for math. Should I count the physics class as high school for her? I was thinking of maybe doing AP physics 9th or 10th grade? Any suggestions on what path to take for science and math after the 8th grade year? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she is finishing AoPS alg as a 7th grader, I would suggest skipping AP physics 1 and 2 and wait until she is ready and jump into physics again with AP C level/cal. As to whether or not to count Clover Creek physics as high school physics, if she has it labeled as high school, then there is no reason not to if you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaConquest Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 With a STEM kid, you could take Clover Valley honors or PAH AP chem in 9th (with Algebra 2) , AP Bio in 10th (with Pre-Calc), and AP Physics in 11th, concurrent with Calculus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize I could skip Ap physics 1 and 2 and go straight to AP c. Thanks, that sounds like a good plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in CA, only foreign language and math, in 8th grade, can be counted for high school. Science cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyMom5 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I am not counting the things taken in 8th grade as HS credit. I will be listing them in a separate part of the transcript, as prerequisites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
