SCIENCE 10
This course is designed to provide you with introductory concepts into the sciences, some that will be used throughout your everyday lives. It is a science course (that involves some math), and the best way to succeed will be to complete all the assigned work and to practice outside of class.
Throughout this course we will be completing a total of 4 units which will be determined by you;
As a result, we will be moving at a relatively fast pace, this will require you to complete work outside of the designated class time.
Since there are many of us in class together and we all learn best through a variety of ways, I will not be teaching you in only one way. You will learn through building your own knowledge, collecting and interpreting the information on your own, reading notes, visiting websites, watching videos, completing projects, among others. All of this will be done using multiple pieces of technology; computers & netbooks with the internet, iPads & applications, and good old-fashioned pen & paper.
Assignments will consist of (and not limited to); daily quizzes, unit tests, projects, and in-class assignments. You will be relieved to know there is no in-class final exam or Provincial Exam.
