| Grade
9 & 10 Academic:
We teach:
- How to relate theories
and concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science,
and physics to technology, society and the environment.
- Basic concepts of science
- Skills, strategies,
and habits of mind required for scientific inquiry
- Grade 9: Scientific
theories related to cell division and reproduction, atomic
and molecular structures, properties of elements and compounds,
the universe and space exploration, and principles of
electricity.
- Grade 10:Scientific
theories related to ecology and the maintenance of the
ecosystem, chemical reactions (acid-base reactions), weather
systems, and motion.
Grade 11, University Preparation
We teach:
- Refining skills related to scientific
investigation
- Compile, organize, and interpret data
- Communicate the procedures and results
of investigations and research using data tables and laboratory
reports.
- Develop scientific-inquiry skills in verifying
accepted laws and solve emerging problems.
- Biology: Cellular
functions, genetic continuity, internal systems and regulations,
diversity of life, anatomy, growth, and the function of
plants.
- Chemistry: Behaviors
of solids, liquids, gases and solutions, investigate changes
and relationships in chemical systems, exploration of
how chemistry is used in developing new products and processes
that affect our lives and our environment.
- Physics: Laws
of dynamics and explore different kinds of forces, the
quantification and forms of energy (mechanical, sound,
light, thermal, and electrical), and the way energy is
transformed and transmitted.
Grade 12, University Preparation
We teach:
- Select and use appropriate numeric, symbolic,
graphical and linguistic modes of representation.
- Refining ability to communicate scientific
information
- Develop inquiry skills
- Learn how interpretation of experimental
data can provide indirect evidence to support the development
of a scientific model.
- Biology: Metabolic processes, molecular
genetics, homeostasis, evolution, and popular dynamics.
- Chemistry: Organic chemistry, energy changes
and rates of reaction, chemical systems and equilibrium,
electrochemistry, atomic and molecular structure.
- Physics: Laws of dynamics and energy transformations
(electrical, gravitational, and magnetic fields), electromagnetic
radiation, interface between energy and mattter.
