How do you do that one UIL question with the words and the answer choices and stuff?

[zefuri]

school offers:
IPC
Bio I
Chem I
Phys I
Bio II
Chem II
Phys II
Chem III

and kenneth is a beast

[Kurt]

Ooh, Chem 3? We don't have that. :(

We've got the rest listed, with two different physics II classes (Physics C or Physics B).

Physics...
:D

I LOVE CHEMISTRY and BIOLOGY!!!!!!! I dislike passionately PHYSICS!!!!!! I dont know what it is about physics... maybe it is just because I dont understand it but something about me and gravity dont get along.... lol. I however love # stuff up as well as disecting things! FuN! lol...

We have
Pre AP Bio
AP Bio
Bio I
Pre AP Chem
AP Chem
Dual Credit Chem
Chem I
IPC
Medical Terminology
Medical Microbiology
Astronomy
Oceanography
Pre AP Physics
AP Physics
Conceptual Physics I
Anatomy
Psycology
Bio-Chem I

[polymath25]

We have:

IPC
Bio I
Bio I Pre-AP
Bio II AP
Chem I
Chem I Pre-AP
Chem II AP
Physics I
Physics I Pre-AP
Physics II AP
Anatomy/Physiology
Environmental Science

The thing is, however, that our physics 2 class has one person in it, and is basically a self-teaching class, and chem 1 PAP and chem 2 are taught by a coach and so at times it's not a very well taught AP class. And our school doesn't offer the Physics C AP exam, which stinks cus that's what I want to take!

[Kurt]

Oh yeah, I forgot...we have bio 3 as well (anatomy/physiology)

Although I think only IB kids can take it.

And I think we technically offer oceanography, environmental science, and astronomy. I don't know if anyone ever actually take them though, lol.

[zefuri]

yeah we have physics B and C as well but chem III is upon request cuz sometimes not enough people wanna take it

[peterliang]

Basically same as yall, but we have about a fourth of our school taking ap physics

[zefuri]

hmm yeah since only up to chem is required right?

[Kurt]

Last year we had ~15 people in Physics C. I don't know about Physics B, but I can't imagine it was wildy popular either. It seems that pretty much everyone at my school takes pre-AP science classes, but almost no one goes on to take the AP classes afterward. Probably a 4th of the school takes pre-AP science classes.

However, I think we had 60 or so people in AP Calculus last year. Our AB and BC classes were taught in the same room...the teacher just went through all of the AB material the first semester, and the second semester she taught the BC part while AB kids did reviews.


And I think Bio 3 has 5-6 people in it, hahaha.

[ZachB]

My lame 3A school has IPC, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, none of which are AP or even up to state cirricula governing what such classes should teach. I generally have to use AP guides to learn the material I need for UIL. I've taken all of the classes my school has and I just use my physics class now as a refresher for what I already know.

[gil]

What is covered in chem III?

[polymath25]

So who here has lots (or any) labs for science class, cus we have like one a year.

[zefuri]

apparently some colleges dont recognize chem III as a legitimate course though =(

[peterliang]

in our AP Chem curriculum, starting somewhere around the 2nd semester, we do 2 labs a week. Often people have to stay after school to finish them.
