I suggest including a year of physics. Having the bio-chem-physics trifecta will keep more doors open for you. Whether you take it in 11 or 12 doesn’t really matter. If you are considering a STEM major later on, you may want to take it in 11 so you have 12 open for a higher level/AP science class. Accordingly, unless you are a STEM hopeful, taking Earth Science after AP Environmental may be seen as a step down. I would check with your guidance counselor to confirm that, because the curriculum can differ from place to place. There is more leeway if you are not a STEM hopeful and/or are not applying to highly selective colleges.
