SNC1W Complete Course: Grade 9 Science (De-streamed)

A complete, ready-to-teach semester of SNC1W, built on the 2022 Ontario Grade 9 Science curriculum. Every lesson is 75 minutes, and the day-by-day schedule covers 88 class periods, so it fits a standard Ontario semester.

The course opens with a STEM skills unit, then works through all four science strands, with STEM skills, coding and careers built into every unit. Every unit ends with an assessment of learning and a four-level Growing Success rubric, and Units 2 to 5 include a unit test with an answer key. The course map links all 50 specific expectations to the lessons that teach them. Labs use cheap, common materials, every hands-on activity has safety notes, and all data sets, scenarios and examples were written for these lessons.

Teaching outside Ontario?

A full Grade 9 science course: lab skills and fair tests, ecosystems and climate change, the nature of matter, electricity, and space exploration, with STEM skills and coding throughout. It fits Grade 9 science (Science 9) in any province and general science courses in the US. Everything comes as editable Word and PowerPoint files, so you can replace the Ontario expectation codes with your own standards and adjust the evaluation plan to your school's rules. Prices are in Canadian dollars.
