    The state of South Dakota
      requires two or three credits of high school science laboratory classes, depending on
      the track that you and your child decide to take. If a student is
      currently enrolled in the "Standard" track then he/she would
      only need to take two of these classes. In contrast, those who are
      enrolled in the "Advanced" or "Distinguished" route
      will need a minimum of three credits of lab science. One of those three 
	credits must be either chemistry or physics. For the college bound 
	student, taking chemistry is a wise course of action since many universities 
	contain major programs which require at least some credits of this science.

	Note: for those interested in the "South Dakota Opportunities 
	Scholarship" four credits of lab science are required one of which must 
	include biology and another that includes either chemistry or physics. Physical science is a prerequisite for chemistry and it is suggested that students have a solid background in math, especially algebra I. Chemistry is the study of energy, matter, change (both chemical and physical), atomic structure, heat, bonding nature, electron arrangement, and interactions between molecules.
