SCIENCE DEPARTMENT

Three years of science are required for graduation from Hudson, two of which must include one life science (Biology

Applications or Biology) credit and one physical science (Physical Science, Chemistry, Physics, or Honors Physics) credit.

Many college bound students acquire 9th 10th 11th Grade: 12th Grade:
four science credits and a few graduate with five Grade: Grade: Chemistry Chemistry
or more science credits (enrolling in two science Physical Biology Honors Chemistry Honors Chemistry
courses in one year is permitted). It is strongly Science Honors AP Biology AP Biology
recommended that all college bound students Biology Biology AP Chemistry AP Chemistry
take Biology, Chemistry and Physics before Honors Chemistry Ecology Ecology
graduation as many colleges require one life Biology Honors AP Environmental AP Environmental
science and two physical science credits for Chemistry Science Science
admission. Most freshmen should strongly Physics Physics Anatomy/Physiology
consider taking science in their first year. All AP AP Physics 1 Physics
students are encouraged to balance their Biology AP Physics 2 * AP Physics 1
selections between life and physical sciences. AP Anatomy/Physiology AP Physics 2*
