SNC1L - Essential Science, Grade 9
This course enables students to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science and physics; to develop practical skills in science investigation; and to apply their knowledge and skills to everyday situations. Students conduct investigations into practical problems and issues related to cells and reproduction, the structure and properties of elements and compounds, static and current electricity, and astronomy and space exploration. A variety of hands-on activities assist students to acquire concepts. Students will use different reporting strategies to facilitate the development of communication skills.
Prerequisite: None
SNC1P - Science, Grade 9, APPLIED
This course enables students to understand basic concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics; to develop practical skills in scientific investigation and to apply their knowledge of science to everyday situations. Students will design and conduct investigations into practical problems and issues related to cell division and reproduction, the structure and properties of elements and compounds, astronomy and space exploration, and static and current electricity.
Prerequisite: None
SNC2P - Science, Grade 10, APPLIED
This course enables students to develop a deeper understanding of concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics; to develop further their practical skills in scientific investigation and to apply their knowledge of science to everyday situations. Students will design and conduct investigations into every day problems and issues related to ecological sustainability, chemical reactions, weather systems and motion.
Prerequisite: Science, Grade 9, Academic or Applied
SNC2D - Science, Grade 10, ACADEMIC
This course enables students to develop a deeper understanding of concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science and physics; to develop further their skills in scientific inquiry; and to understand the interrelationships among science, technology and the environment. Students will conduct investigations and understand scientific theories related to: ecology and maintenance of ecosystems; chemical reactions, with particular attention to acid-base reactions; factors that influence weather systems and motion.
Prerequisite: Science, Grade 9, Academic or Applied
