EXPLORE – BIOLOGY TEKS
• §112.34. Biology, Beginning with School Year 2010-2011 (One Credit).
(a) General requirements. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course. Prerequisites: none. This course is recommended for students in Grade 9, 10, or 11.
EXPLORE – CHEMISTRY TEKS
§112.35. Chemistry, Beginning with School Year 2010-2011 (One Credit). (a) General requirements. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course. Required prerequisites: one unit of high school science and Algebra I. Suggested prerequisite: completion of or concurrent enrollment in a second year of math. This course is recommended for students in Grade 10, 11, or 12.
EXPLORE – PHYSICS TEKS
§112.39. Physics, Beginning with School Year 2010-2011 (One Credit). (a) General requirements. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course. Algebra I is suggested as a prerequisite or co-requisite. This course is recommended for students in Grade 9, 10, 11, or 12.
Course Pre-Requisites Suggested Recommended for
Biology None Grades 9 - 11
Chemistry • Completion of Algebra 1
• Completion of 1 year of HS Science
Completion of or concurrent enrollment in a 2nd year of HS Math
Grades 10 - 12
Physics Concurrent enrollment in or completion of Algebra I
Grades 9 - 12
CTE Considerations: For students entering 9th grade in 2013-2013. The additional credit may be selected from the CTE laboratory-based courses and may be taken after the successful completion of biology and chemistry and either after the successful completion of or concurrently with physics. §74.73 adopted to be effective May 30, 2012, 37 TexReg 3808

EXPLAIN
Questions to consider when determining sequencing
• What is the student’s math ability?• Is there a benefit of including IPC?• Is the course being taught at the
level required by the TEKS?
ELABORATE
• Conversations with teachers– Is the course being taught at the
level required by the TEKS?

ELABORATE
• Conversations with teachers– “You just want me to “water down”
the course!”– “That’s not the way we’ve always
done it!”– “Students aren’t going to be
prepared for college!”
