SNC1W Grade 9 Science (De-streamed)
8 items
SNC1W Unit 1: Thinking Like a Scientist
The STEM skills students use all year: lab safety and WHMIS, testable questions and variables, measurement and graphing, a paper-helicopter fair test, research with SIFT, Python coding, an engineering design challenge and the people who do science.
SNC1W Unit 2: Sustainable Ecosystems and Climate Change
Ecosystems, energy flow, matter cycles, photosynthesis and respiration labs, biodiversity, human impacts and climate change, including impacts on communities across Canada and sustainable practices from First Nations, Métis and Inuit knowledge.
SNC1W Unit 3: The Nature of Matter
Classifying matter, density, physical and chemical change, atomic models, Bohr-Rutherford diagrams, the periodic table, compounds and formulas, household chemicals and the life cycle of consumer products.
SNC1W Unit 4: Electricity
Static and current electricity, conductors, circuits, Ohm's law (by hand and in Python), series and parallel circuits, power, energy cost and efficiency, Ontario's electricity sources and an energy action plan.
SNC1W Unit 5: Space Exploration
The solar system and universe, astronomical distances and scale, the Sun, seasons, Moon phases and eclipses, the origin of the universe, many ways of knowing the sky, satellites and the impacts of space exploration.
SNC1W Unit 6: Science in Our Community (Culminating Task and Final)
The end of the course: a culminating design project on a real local problem, linked to STEM careers and skilled trades, plus a course review and an original final written exam with an answer key.
SNC1W Buffer Lessons
Five stand-alone SNC1W lessons for flex days, short weeks and supply teachers, each tied to specific curriculum expectations.
SNC2D Grade 10 Science (Academic)
8 items
SNC2D Complete Course: Grade 10 Science (Academic)
Everything you need to teach Grade 10 Academic Science for a full semester: a skills launch, biology, chemistry, climate change and optics units, an independent investigation and a final exam.
SNC2D Unit 1: Science Skills Launch
A short launch unit for the skills students use all year: lab safety, controlled inquiry and the lab report, significant digits and percent error, reliable sources and APA citations, and Canadian scientists and careers.
SNC2D Unit 2: Tissues, Organs and Systems
Cells under the microscope, the cell cycle and mitosis, cancer, specialized cells and stem cells, plant and animal tissues, organs and systems, a dissection, disease, medical imaging, public health and ethics.
SNC2D Unit 3: Chemical Reactions
Ions, naming and formulas for ionic and molecular compounds, evidence of chemical change, conservation of mass, balancing equations, the main reaction types, acids, bases and neutralization, and reactions in safety and the environment.
SNC2D Unit 4: Climate Change
The climate system, heat transfer, albedo, ocean currents, the greenhouse effect, greenhouse gases, ozone and smog, proxy data, natural and human causes, climate regions, global effects, media literacy and climate initiatives.
SNC2D Unit 5: Light and Geometric Optics
The electromagnetic spectrum, sources of light, reflection, plane and curved mirrors, ray diagrams, the mirror and thin lens equations, refraction and the index of refraction, total internal reflection, lenses, the eye and light technologies.
SNC2D Unit 6: Independent Investigation (Culminating Task and Final)
The end of the course: an independent inquiry or research investigation with a proposal, safety plan, analysis and presentation, plus a course review and an original final written exam with an answer key.
