which do you think is considered the toughest high school science course:?

Question

honors physics, honors biology, or honors chemistry.....

and if you were in 10th grade and someone asked you which class were you in, which would you rather say that sound more proffesional?

Answer 1

i'd say gifted(OH SNAPS) cuz my school is the ****

Answer 2

I teach high school chemistry and physics and I'm certified to teach biology and any other science for that matter.
I can tell you with certainty that which course you find toughest depends very much on your individual skills. Process thinkers do well with chemistry. Memorizers do better with biology. Talented mathematical problem-solvers do well with physics. It's very individual.
I can also tell you with certainty, being sort of a geek myself, but a geek with a lot of experience, that no one is going to give a rat's a$$ which courses you've taken and how "professional" they sound, so don't bother trying to impress someone with it. When you're in 10th grade and you have some skill in science, I suggest taking all three before you graduate if you can. Then you'll have an excellent science background for college and you'll have the ability to formulate some very clear ideas about what you'd like to do. Best of luck to you.

Answer 3

As a college student studying in this area, I would DEFINITELY recommend Honors Organic Chem. This class is usually the most popular in most schools and chemistry last about 2 yrs in any school if you want to be pre-med. This will help you prepare for college level courses and shows the colleges that you're looking one step ahead than all the other high school students who take AP Bio. Also, your grade for SAT II Bio was really high so you don't need to redeem yourself there. You're grades are excellent, so keep up the good work!

Answer 4

Just depends what side of science you have a nack for.

If your good at math, physics won't be that hard. If your not, this may be very well the hardest. This may be voted the hardest because of all the word problems that have to be solved.
Chemistry is similar. Probably a close call between the two.

In biology, it's mostly understanding and memorizations.

Answer 5

In my high school biology came first, then physics, then chemistry. I agree with that ranking. Chemistry actually took up two class periods.

Biology is like English, you can BS your way through. Physics is pretty straightforward, if you are good at math you only have to learn a few concepts and you can derive everything. Chemisty is so complicated that you have to memorize most things and you can't derive much.

Answer 6

All science courses require a lot of work. I always found the course I did not enjoy or was not interested in to be the hardest. I did Physics and Chem, Physics was easier for me because I had a genuine interest in it, studying and working on it was not a chore.

Seriously do not choose your courses based on what you believe people will think of you, do what you enjoy and you will succeed, no matter what it is.

If I could go back and give myself any advice that would be it.

Answer 7

Toughness depends on not only ones IQ but on which side of the brain is the most developed. Art side vs science side. And exposure to occupational information in such a way as to provide the information that gives the person the feeling of greatest boost in self esteem. Then he is most interested in the subjects that the job is composed of so they seem easier. The syntax of explaining this could be better but I believe you know what I mean.

Answer 8

Chemistry, definitely.

Answer 9

I would tell the truth.
