1. SCIENCE http://teachers.sduhsd.net/ccscience John Danssaert (Physics, AP Physics B and AP Physics C)

2. SCIENCE Course Offerings College Prep and Beyond Course Offerings: Earth and Space Biology Anatomy and Physiology AP Biology AP Environmental Science Chemistry AP Chemistry Physics AP Physics B AP Physics C

3. Beyond Traditional Courses Anatomy and Physiology Quest: ( 2 new courses) Research Methods Applied Science Engineering/Robotics: (no longer a course, but a club)

4. Additional Science Opportunities Science Olympiad –Club run by students and parents with teacher assistance. County science competition. –CCA team placed 1 st in San Diego county last year. Science Fair –Science Fair Projects (can be developed in the Quest class) –Numerous county, state, and even national awards

5. Comparing CCA The 4x4 format allows students to have flexibility in their schedule. At CCA a 4 year plan can be designed to support a wide range of student goals. Technology enriched classes CCA Science offers unique courses and opportunities –Anatomy and Physiology –Quest –Engineering

6. Earth and Space Pre-Algebra or Algebra 1 Biology Geometry or Algebra 2 Chemistry Algebra 2 or Pre-Calculus Physics Pre-Calculus AP Chemistry Pre-Calculus AP Physics B Calculus AP Physics C Completion of Calculus All 9 th graders should start in Earth and Space or Biology. Check out course profiles and make a 4 year plan when deciding where to start Quest Completion of Biology and Geometry. AP BiologyAP Environmental Science Please review course profiles before enrolling in courses. This flow chart is meant to guide but not to limit your options, not all pathways are represented. Please see your science/math teacher regarding options. Anatomy and Physiology Anytime after completion of Biology A plan for success
