I never took forensics in school
But I can tell you, my junior year I did take physics, and I definitely didn't regret it.
I was not a very hard class if you are moderately decent at remembering shit.
+ we go to go on a trip to six flags to study the physics of roller coasters.
And we did labs, etc like at least once a week.

Definitely worth taking it in my opinion.
Get in good with your teach and start suggesting cool things like the six flags trip and sweet projects etc.
Make the class fun.

lol we go to six flags for physics day as well XD

Uhm yea I personally lvoe physics, and its a tough course at our school -- mainly because our teacher is tough, but its good. Forensics is a joke from what I hear, so you might not want to take it unless you're just looking in to fill a period of your time.
physics does look better than forensics on your resume too.

physics is actual science



forensics is like crime scene stuff and finger prints and random stuff like that o_o



Take physics, will be much more useful

physics will help you in everyday life
im currently taking ap physics, and its pretty hard, but it helps wonders for other classes and i can relate it to a lot of stuff

Physics. Easy to get a high paying job with Physics but getting a nice forensics position takes ALONG time.

Save the Forensics classes for college (if you go that direction). That's when you really get into the analysis aspect of chemistry.

The labs are much more intense and meaningful.
