    Science 10

    Course Code: MSC–10
    Science 10 is composed of four units: Chemistry, Energy (Physics), Genetics (Biology), and Astronomy.  Students will be encouraged to think critically, solve problems, make ethical decisions, and increase their scientific literacy. They will also participate in hands-on learning assignments to develop lab skills and learn about safety.

    Science 10 Honours

    Course Code: MSC–10H
    Science 10H provides students with the opportunity to go deeper into the Science 10 curriculum. The course is intended for academically strong students with a keen interest in science. Enrolment is limited, and students will be selected for the program based on their success in Science 9. The course will be offered in semester one of the grade 10 year to allow students to select grade 11 science courses in the second semester. Interested students may apply with support from their Science 9 teacher and a counselor.

    Science 10 STEAM Enriched

    Course Code: MSC–10ST

     
    This enriched science course provides students with the opportunity to go deeper into the Science 10 curriculum through inquiry and project-based approaches. We cover Kinetic and Potential Energy, Chemistry, Genetics & Astronomy. We participate in science challenges & field experiences throughout the year including the National Crystal Growing competition in the Fall and a trip to the SFU Chemistry Labs. The content is woven together with Math, ADST and CLE courses within our STEAM 10 program. Enrolment is limited, but students from the regular Science 9 program are welcome to apply by registering during course selection. Students will be selected for the program based on their success in their Grade 9 courses. We encourage students with a keen interest in science and solid work habits to apply. Students will be assessed on their understanding of content and demonstration of skills using tests, labs and projects.
