 | Science courses provide students with facts, principles, and concepts to offer them with a better understanding of the world around them. Learning opportunities are made meaningful so they can relate science to their life in and out of the classroom to encourage an interest in science as a lifelong learning experience.
Sciences 10 (5 credits)
It is an academic course that examines 4 broad units: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth Sciences. These units are the foundation for the further study of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Sciences 14/24 (5 credits each)
General science courses intended to help students understand the scientific principles behind matter, living/biological systems, human health, energy and motion and environmental studies. Science 14, together with Science 24, fulfill the minimum 10 credits of Science required for an Alberta High School Diploma. As the course delivery is focused on a hands-on experimental approach, it also aids in the development of Science skills in preparation for the possibility of Science 10 later on in a student’s academic journey. Chimie 20 (5 credits) Students will study matter as solutions, acids and bases, and gases, quantitative relationships in chemical changes and chemical bonding in matter.
Chimie 30 (5 credits) Students will examine energy changes in chemical reactions, electro-chemical systems, organic chemistry, chemical equilibrium and acid-base chemistry.
Biologie 20 (5 credits) Students will study energy and matter in the biosphere, photosynthesis and cellular respiration, ecosystems and population change, as well as human digestive, respiratory, circulatory, defense, excretory and motor systems. Biologie 30 (5 credits) Students will study the nervous and endocrine systems, reproduction and development, cell division, genetics, and molecular biology, as well as population and community dynamics.
Physique 20 (5 credits) Students will study how and why objects move, energy work equivalence, circular motion, gravity and waves.
Physique 30 (5 credits) Students will examine conservation laws, electric and magnetic forces and fields and the nature of the atom and light. |
