Issues in Human Growth and Development [ HHG4M ] [ University/College ]
Prerequisite : Any university, university/college, or college preparation course in social sciences and humanities,
This course offers a multidisciplinary approach to the study of human development throughout the life cycle, with particular emphasis on enhancing growth and development. Students will examine how early brain and child development are linked to lifelong learning, health, and well-being, and will develop child-care and human-relationship skills through practical experience in a community setting. This course also refines students’ skills used in researching and investigating issues related to human growth and development.
Individuals and Families in a Diverse Society [ HHS4M ] [ University/College ]
Prerequisite : Any university, university/college, or college preparation course in social sciences
This course applies current theories and research from the disciplines of anthropology, psychology, and sociology to the study of individual development, family behaviour, intimate and parent–child relationships, and the ways in which families interact within the diverse Canadian society. Students will learn the interpersonal skills required to contribute to the well-being of families, and the investigative skills required to conduct and evaluate research about individuals and families.
Biology, Grade 11 [ SBI3U ] [ University ]
Prerequisite : Gr.10 Science, Academic (SNC2D)
This course furthers students understanding of the processes involved in biological systems. Students will study cellular functions, genetic continuity, internal systems and regulations, 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.
Biology, Grade 12 [ SBI4U ] [ University ]
Prerequisite : Gr. 11 Biology, University (SBI3U)
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 populations 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 the various branches of life sciences and related fields.
Chemistry G11 Transfer Course [ SCH3K ] [ Academic ]
Prerequisite :
Chemistry, Grade 11 [ SCH3U ] [ University ]
Prerequisite : Gr.10 Science, Academic (SNC2D)
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.
Chemistry, Grade 12 [ SCH4U ] [ University ]
Prerequisite : Gr. 11 Chemistry, University (SCH3U)
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of organic chemistry, energy changes and rates of reaction, chemical equilibrium, atomic and molecular structure, and electrochemistry. 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.
Science, Grade 9 [ SNC1D ] [ Academic ]
Prerequisite : none
This course enables students to understand basic concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics; to develop skills in the process of scientific inquiry; and to relate science to technology, society and the environment. Students will learn scientific theories and conduct investigations related to cell division and reproduction; atomic and molecular structures and the properties of elements and compounds; the universe and space exploration; and the principles of electricity.
Science, Grade 10 [ SNC2D ] [ Academic ]
Prerequisite : Gr.9 Science, Academic (SNC1D)
This course enables students to develop a deeper understanding of concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics; to develop further their skills in scientific inquiry; and to understand the interrelationships among science, technology, and the environment. Students will conduct investigations and understand scientific theories related to: ecology and the maintenance of ecosystems; chemical reactions, with particular attention to acid base reactions; factors that influence weather systems; and motion.
Physics, Grade 11 [ SPH3U ] [ University ]
Prerequisite : Gr.10 Science, Academic (SNC2D)
This course develops students understanding of the basic concepts of physics. Students will 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 will develop scientific-inquiry skills as they verify accepted laws and solve both assigned problems and those emerging from their investigations. Students will also analyze the interrelationships between physics and technology, and consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment.
Physics, Grade 12 [ SPH4U ] [ University ]
Prerequisite : Gr. 11 Physics, University (SPH3U)
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of the concepts and theories of physics, Students will explore further the laws of dynamics and energy transformations, and will investigate electrical, gravitational, and magnetic fields; electromagnetic radiations; and the interface between energy and matter. The will further develop inquiry skills, learning, for example, how the interpretation of experimental data can provide indirect evidence to support the development of a scientific model. Students will also consider the impact on society and the environment of technological applications of physics.
