About the course

Course Type: Academic Credit Value: 1.0 Prerequisite: None Curriculum Policy Document: Science – Grade 9, DE-STREAMED COURSE (SNC1W) Department: Science Course Developer: KAI Global School Development Date: 2020-2021 Course Description: This course enables students to develop their understanding of concepts related to biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth and space science, and to relate science to technology, society, and the environment. Throughout the course, students will develop and refine their STEM skills as they use scientific research, scientific experimentation, and engineering design processes to investigate concepts and apply their knowledge in situations that are relevant to their lives and communities. Students will continue to develop transferable skills as they become scientifically literate global citizens.

Overrall expectations

By the end of the course you will:

Scientific Investigation Skills and Carrer Exploration

By the end of this course, students will:

  • demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in the four areas of skills (initiating and planning, performing and recording, analysing and interpreting, and communicating);
  • identify and describe a variety of careers related to the fields of science under study, and identify scientists, including Canadians, who have made contributions to those fields.
Biology:Sustainable Ecosystems

By the end of this course, students will:

  • assess the impact of human activities on the sustainability of terrestrial and/or aquaticecosystems, and evaluate the effectiveness of courses of action
    intended to remedy or mitigate negative impacts;
  • demonstrate an understanding of the dynamic nature of ecosystems, particularly in terms of ecologicalbalance and the impact of human activity on the sustainability ofterrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
Chemistry: Atoms, Elements and Compounds

By the end of this course, students will:

  • assess social, environmental, and economic impacts of the use of common elements and compounds, with reference to their physical and chemical properties;
  • investigate, through inquiry, the physical and chemical properties of common elements and compounds;
  • demonstrate an understanding of the properties of common elements and compounds, and of the organization of elements in the periodic table.
Earth and Space Science: The Study of the universe

By the end of this course, students will:

  • assess some of the costs, hazards, and benefits of space exploration and the contributions of Canadians to space research and technology;
  • investigate the characteristics and properties of a variety of celestial objects visible from Earth in the night sky;
  • demonstrate an understanding of the major scientific theories about the structure, formation, and evolution of the universe and its components and of the evidence that supports these theories.
Physics: The Characteristics of Electricity

By the end of this course, students will:

  • assess some of the costs and benefits associated with the production of electrical energy from renewable and non- renewable sources, and analyse how electrical efficiencies and savings can be achieved, through both the design of technological devices
    and practices in the home;
  • investigate, through inquiry, various aspects of electricity, including the properties of static and current electricity, and the quantitative relationships between potential difference, current, and resistance in electrical circuits;
  • demonstrate an understanding of the principles of static and current electricity.
