What grade were you in when you took high school physics?

Link asked:


Or what grade are you in if you’re currently taking high school physics? I was a senior when I took it. When I was in school everyone took it as a senior. Currently I’m tutoring a kid whose taking physics as a sophomore. She says its common at her school to take physics in that grade. Personally, I think that she and a lot of the other kids at her school are taking it too early. I don’t think that she has the necessary math background to get the most out of the subject. She’s only had one year of algebra and she just started geometry. No trigonometry yet. No wonder America is falling behind other countries in science education.

slyblyyy asked:


I am a freshman in college currently working towards a BA in math. I am kinda regretting not starting on the physics path because I like applied science better. If I were to go to grad school for applied math, what does that exactly mean? how does that differ from say physics, or engineering? ANd what kind of jobs can you get with applied mathematics

wolfpack2013 asked:


I’m looking at colleges and the different requirements. There is one college that requires 3 science credits and all 3 have to be laboratory science. So far I have earth science and biology and I’m taking marine biology next year. I’m a rising senior and I need to know if I have what I need to qualify.

asked:


Ok, I have to do a report on how Alaskans (Must be natives) have contributed to science more importantly Biology.

Problem is: I have been searching Yahoo, Google and Ask, yet I can’t find anything.

If anybody could tell me a major contribution they have made and where to get more information on the subject it would help me a lot.

Thanks in advance!

What is the best science course to take for non-majors in your mind?

shaolt2002 asked:


I typically am really bored of science, I think it totally useless for my life. For instance I don’t care what the density of mercury is, or how many moons Jupiter has, none of those things affect my daily life. By course, I mean like Chemistry, Biology or Microbiology, Physics, Earth Science, etc. I have almost graduated from my sophomore year of college I just need a science class.
