Grade 9
-
ACADEMIC - SNC1DO
-
This course enables students to understand basic
concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics; to
develop skills in the processes of scientific inquiry; and to relate science
to technology, society, and the environment. Students will learn scientific
theories and conduct investigations related to cell division and reproduction;
atomic and molecular structures and the properties of elements and compounds;
the universe and space exploration; and the principles of electricity.

APPLIED - SNC1PO
-
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.

Grade 10
-
ACADEMIC - SNC2DO
-
This course enables students to develop a deeper
understanding of concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science,
and physics; to develop further skills in scientific inquiry; and to understand
the interrelationship among science, technology and the environment. Students
will conduct investigations and understand scientific theories related
to: ecology and the maintenance of ecosystems; chemical reactions, with
particular attention to acid-base reactions; factors that influence weather
systems; and motion.

Grade 11
-
BIOLOGY, College Preparation - SBI3C
-
This course focuses on the processes involved in
biological systems. Students will learn concepts and theories as they conduct
investigations in the areas of environmental science, cellular biology,
animal anatomy and physiology, plant structure and physiology, and microbiology.
Throughout the course, applications of biology to everyday life as well
as educational and career opportunities related to biology are emphasized
and noted in student journals. Skills needed for further study in various
branches of the life sciences and related fields are developed.

BIOLOGY, University Preparation - SBI3U
-
This course furthers students' understanding of the
processes involved in biological systems. Students study the diversity
of living things, cellular functions, the anatomy, growth, and functions
of plants, internal systems and regulation, and genetic continuity. Throughout,
the course provides cumulative evidence that all life forms, however diverse,
are united by a common set of characteristics. The course focuses on the
theoretical aspects of the topics under study, and helps students refine
skills related to scientific investigation.

PHYSICS, University Preparation - SPH3U
-
In this course students develop an understanding
of the basic concepts of physics through an analysis of the interrelationships
between physics and technology, and a consideration of the impact of technological
applications of physics on society and the environment. Students study
the laws of dynamics and explore different kinds of forces, the quantification
and forms of energy (mechanical, sound, light, thermal and electrical),
and the way energy is transformed and transmitted. They develop scientific-inquiry
skills as they verify accepted laws and solve both assigned problems and
those emerging from their investigations. Each unit ends with an end-of-unit
task, which not only facilitates assessment of the unit itself, but also
leads the student to prepare for the final assessment tasks. The final
assessment tasks, introduced at the start of Unit 1, include a practical
component that uses the students' knowledge of physics principles developed
throughout this course to make a labour-saving/useful device. The students
must also report on this device with the inclusion of an explanation of
the physics principles involved.

CHEMISTRY, University Preparation - SCH3U
-
This course focuses on the concepts and theories
that form the basis of modern chemistry. Students will study the behaviours
of solids, liquids, gases, and solutions; investigate changes and relationships
in chemical systems; and explore how chemistry is used in developing new
products and processes that affect our lives and our environment. Emphasis
will also be placed on the importance of chemistry in other branches of
science.
Prerequisite: Science, Grade 10, Academic
