This is a course that is designed to prepare high school students with a solid foundation in the concepts of the earth and physical
sciences as described in the Science Content Standards for grades K-12. Since the standards at the high school level are not grade
specific but instead cover all four years, this course will provide the students with the knowledge and background in the Earth Sciences,
Physics, and Chemistry strands described in the standards so that they will be successful in other high school courses. This course
meets the District graduation requirement, but not the UC/CSU “a-g” entrance requirements.
