Course
Offerings, Path and Sequencing
Our Science Department's
courses and have been designed to target students' diverse needs
and interests in the study of science. Students typically follow
one of three science course sequences (although change of sequence
is allowed), each of which is designed to appropriately challenge
students to achieve the NJ Core Curriculum Standards for Science.
Typical course selections for each sequence include: |
GRADE 9 |
GRADE 10 |
GRADE 11 |
GRADE 12 |
Integrated Science 1 |
Integrated Science 2 |
Integrated Science 3

As noted above, the science department also actively participates in the Advanced Placement (AP) Program. Currently the science department offers the following AP courses:
- Advanced Placement Biology
- Advanced Placement Chemistry
- Advanced Placement Physics "C" (Calculus-based)
The science department also offers an Anatomy and Physiology course, which enables students to qualify for college credit by means of a dual credit agreement existing between Washington Township Schools and Gloucester County College. |
