Revised: 2001 01

Title: Science, Grade 10, Academic

Credit Value: Onelevel: Academic

Guideline Title: The Ontario Curriculum Grades 9 & 10

Text: Science Power 10

Description: 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 enquiry; 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 attentions to acid-base reactions; factors that influence weather systems; and motion.
