Science 1206 (Academic)
Science 1206 is an academic Pan-Canadian science course that aims to develop scientific literacy. Scientific literacy is an evolving combination of the science related attitudes, skills, and knowledge students need to develop inquiry, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities; to become lifelong learners; and to maintain a sense of wonder about the world around them.
NOTE: Science 1206 is required for graduating high school with honors or academic standing.
Science 1206 is intended to be an introductory academic science course before taking Physics, Chemistry, Biology or Earth Systems courses. It is composed of four units that contain core labs. All schools are expected to complete these core labs.
Science 2200 (Non-Academic)
Science 2200 is an activity-based course designed to contribute to the development of basic concepts and skills through the study of Life Science and Earth/Space Science including the core topics of Ecology and Weather. Throughout this course students are provided opportunity to develop their scientific literacy by engaging in the process of Inquiry, Problem Solving, and Decision Making. Core activities provide opportunity for students to develop practical laboratory skills and to engage in scientific process. STSE (Science, Technology, Society, and Environment) Modules provide students with opportunity to go beyond the facts to examine how science permeates our everyday lives.
Science 3200 (Non-Academic)
Science 3200 is an activity-based course designed to contribute to the development of basic concepts and skills through the study of Physical Science including the core topics of Chemistry and Physics. Throughout this course students are provided opportunity to develop their scientific literacy by engaging in the process of Inquiry, Problem Solving, and Decision Making. Core activities provide opportunity for students to develop practical laboratory skills and to engage in scientific process. STSE (Science, Technology, Society, and Environment) Modules provide students with opportunity to go beyond the facts to examine how science permeates our everyday lives.
Biology 2201 (Academic)
Biology 2201 is an academic Pan-Canadian science course that aims to develop scientific literacy. Scientific literacy is an evolving combination of the science related attitudes, skills, and knowledge students need to develop inquiry, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities; to become lifelong learners; and to maintain a sense of wonder about the world around them.
Biology 2201 is composed of four units that contain core labs and core STSE sections (Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment). All schools are expected to complete these core areas and adhere to the sequence of units outlined for the course.
