This course enables students to develop their understanding of concepts related to biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth and space science, and to relate science to technology, society, and the environment. Throughout the course, students will develop and refine their STEM skills as they use scientific research, scientific experimentation, and engineering design processes to investigate concepts and apply their knowledge in situations that are relevant to their lives and communities. Students will continue to develop transferable skills as they become scientifically literate global citizens.
Prerequisite: None
This course develops understanding of biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics, with attention to connections among science, technology, society, and the environment. Students investigate cells and systems, chemical reactions, climate and climate change, and the interaction of light and matter.
Prerequisite: Science, Grade 9, Academic or Applied
This course develops understanding of Earth and its place in the universe. Students investigate astronomy, the solar system, Earth materials, internal and surface processes, geological history, and interactions among Earth systems using evidence and concepts from biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics.
Prerequisite: Science, Grade 10, Academic
This course develops understanding of core physics concepts, including kinematics, forces, energy transformations, mechanical waves and sound, electricity, and magnetism. Students test laws of physics, strengthen scientific investigation skills, and analyze relationships among physics, technology, society, and the environment.
Prerequisite: Science, Grade 10, Academic
This course deepens students' understanding of chemistry through organic chemistry, structure and properties of matter, energy changes and reaction rates, chemical equilibrium, and electrochemistry. Students refine problem-solving, investigation, and communication skills while evaluating chemistry in everyday life and environmental contexts.
Prerequisite: Chemistry, Grade 11, University Preparation
This course deepens students' understanding of chemistry through the study of matter, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, quantitative relationships, solutions and solubility, atmospheric chemistry, and gases. Students develop analytical and investigation skills while examining impacts of chemical reactions on society and the environment.
Prerequisite: Science, Grade 10, Academic
This course provides in-depth study of concepts and processes in biological systems. Students investigate biochemistry, metabolic processes, molecular genetics, homeostasis, and population dynamics, with emphasis on detailed knowledge and scientific investigation skills for further study in life sciences and related fields.
Prerequisite: Biology, Grade 11, University Preparation
This course deepens students' understanding of processes in biological systems. Students study biodiversity, evolution, genetic processes, animal structure and function, and plant anatomy, growth, and function while refining scientific investigation skills and focusing on theoretical aspects of biology.
Prerequisite: Science, Grade 10, Academic
This course deepens understanding of physics concepts and theories. Students study energy transformations, forces and motion, electric, gravitational, and magnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, the wave nature of light, quantum mechanics, and special relativity while developing qualitative and quantitative investigation skills.
