Sciences

SNC2P Science, Grade 10
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 design and conduct investigations into everyday problems and issues related to ecological sustainability, chemical reactions, weather systems, and motion.

SBI3C Biology College Preparation, Grade 11
This course focuses on the processes involved in biological systems. Students will learn concepts and theories as they conduct investigation in the areas of cellular biology, microbiology, animal anatomy and physiology, plant structure and physiology and environmental science. Emphasis will be placed on the practical application of concepts, and on the skills needed for further study in various branches of the life sciences and related fields.

SBI3U Biology University/College Preparation, Grade 11
This course furthers students’ understanding of the processes involved in biological systems. Students will study cellular functions, genetic continuity, internal systems and regulation, the diversity of living things, and the anatomy, growth, and functions of plants. The course focuses on the theoretical aspects of the topics under study, and helps students refine skills related to scientific investigation.

SBI4U Biology University/College Preparation, Grade 12
This course provides students with the opportunity for in-depth study of the concepts and processes associated with biological systems. Students will study theory and conduct investigations in the areas of metabolic processes, molecular genetics, homeostasis, evolution, and population dynamics. Emphasis will be placed on achievement of the detailed knowledge and refined skills needed for further study in various branches of the life sciences and related fields.

SCH3U Chemistry University/College Preparation, Grade 11
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.

SCH4U Chemistry University Preparation, Grade 12
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of organic chemistry, energy changes and rates of reaction, chemical systems and equilibrium, electrochemistry, and atomic and molecular structure. Students will further develop problem-solving and laboratory skills as they investigate chemical processes, at the same time refining their ability to communicate scientific information. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of chemistry in daily life, and on evaluating the impact of chemical technology on the environment.

SPH3U Physics University/College Preparation, Grade 11
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.

PPZ3O Health for Life, Grade 11
This course helps students develop a personalized approach to healthy living. Students will examine the factors that affect their own health and the health of individuals as members of the community. They will learn about the components of the Vitality approach to healthy living - an initiative that promotes healthy eating, an active lifestyle, and a positive self-image. Throughout this course, students will develop the skills necessary to take charge of and improve their own health, as well as to encourage others to lead healthy lives.
