The district requirement states that students must pass one year of physical science and one year of biological science. These may be taken in either order. The other part of the requirement states that students must take a science in 9th or 10th grade and one in 11th or 12th. Therefore you may choose NOT to take a science next year. Coordinated science can be a two-year program in which students may receive both biological and physical science credit. Note that marine biology and coordinated science are not UC/CSU approved classes. Many students choose to take coordinated or marine in 9th grade to improve their skills and then take UC/CSU approved classes later. Students must be enrolled in Algebra I (at least) to take Earth and Space Science. It is strongly suggested that students earn a C or better in 8th g
