Over the summer, the sequence of science courses had been changed to follow: Earth Science - Biology - Chemistry - Physics.   This is a change from the current sequence of Earth Science, Chemistry, Biology, Physics.   The change will affect sophomores enrolled in  Fundamentals of Chemistry (Regular Chemistry) for the Fall 2009 school year.  And those in the Accelerated Chemistry will take biology next year.  All those students enrolled in Fundamentals of Chemistry will be placed in Fundamentals of Biology this year.  Those on the honors track to take AP Biology as Juniors will still take chemistry Sophomore year.   The change only affects Sophomores enrolled in Chemistry this year - Freshmen, Juniors and Seniors are unaffected by the change.
Beginning next year, the basic science course for Sophomores at BHS will be Biology.  **There will still be a small number of sophomores in the honors track who will take chemistry in preparation for AP Biology.

The Science Department will be administering it's second Reading Assessment, on Monday January 5, 2009.     The reading assessments will measure a year-long effort by the science department and  Berlin High School, to improve the reading comprehension skills of our students.

Each department at BHS will administer two Reading for Information Assessments during the 2008-09 school year.   October is one of the months assigned to the Science Department.   The Science Department assessment will take place on October 17 for the entire department.  Students will read a short selection and answer multiple choice and open ended questions designed to assess the students ability to extract meaning and content from the reading.  Students' work will be assessed using the State Department of Educatinon - CAPT Rubric.   This assessment is part of the Science department goal of developing the students' ability to extract information and meaning from a reading selection.
