SCIENCE CAREERS CO-OP (Grade 11)
Courses included in program:
Physics 11 MPH–11P
Chemistry 11 MCH–11P
Independent Studies MIDS-2BSC
Work Experience MWEX-2ASC
This program is for students interested in exploring science-related careers and doing some enrichment/application activities to extend science concepts learned in the regular curriculum. There will be opportunities for hands on experience through field trips and work experience. In order to apply, students need a minimum letter grade of B in Science 10, a minimum letter grade of B in Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 and to have demonstrated good work habits. In grade 11, students take their Science Co-op courses together during Semester 2. An effort is made to arrange that all students complete their 90 hours of voluntary work experience at a similar time so that they do not miss regular class time. The grade 12 year is scheduled with the normal flexibility.
Semester 1 – Grade 11
- An English 11 – 4 credits
- A Social Studies – 4 credits
- A Math 11 – 4 credits
