Science 12
| Course | Description | Credits |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry 12 | In Chemistry 12 students will explore more advanced topics on chemical reactions and solutions. Students will also have many opportunities to develop fluency with the scientific method, as well as gain a deeper understanding of the concepts through experiential learning. | 4 |
| Geology 12 | Students will use a variety of texts as they learn, exploring both secular and faith based theories. They will explore minerals, rocks, earth materials, Earth's geological and biological history, plate tectonic theory, form, arrangement and structure of rocks and weather and erosion process. | 4 |
| Environmental Science 12 | Environmental Science is an exploration of the interrelationships that exist in various local ecosystems. Students will learn about the diversity, processes and change, and sustainability within local ecosystems as well as conservation and restoration of ecosystems. | 4 |
| Anatomy and Physiology 12 | Students will explore anatomy and physiology of the human body in depth. This content rich course requires strong study skills and consistency. | 4 |
| Physics 12 | Students will explore advanced topics in motion, forces and momentum. They will also have many opportunities to develop fluency with the scientific method, as well as gain a deeper understanding of the concepts through experiential learning. Thorough study habits and review will be essential to success in this challenging course. | 4 |
| Specialized Science - Marine Biology 12 | This course focuses on the biology of marine environments. Students will explore biological, ecological and earth science topics related to fresh and salt water ecosystems. They will have many opportunities to develop fluency with the scientific method, as well as gain a deeper understanding of the concepts through experiential learning. | 4 |
| Specialized Science - Astronomy 12 | Students will learn aspects of both Classical and Modern Astronomy. In the first part of the course, they will take part in astronomy-based experiments outlined in the textbook. These will include field activities, keeping a field journal to record observations, sketch relevant results, as well as other hands-on activities. | 4 |
| Specialized Science - Psychology 12 | In this course, students will apply critical thinking skills to the study of the soul, the mind, the brain, and behaviour. Through this course, the studentwill learn to recognize, examine, and respond to various views including modern psychology's core philosophical assumptions: naturalism, behaviorism, humanism, evolutionism, empiricism, moral relativism, and reductionism. | 4 |

| BAA Animal Sciences 12 |
In collaboration with the course instructor, each student will select their personal areas of focus within the larger Animal Sciences parameter. (See examples in Course Document). Student and teacher will work together to set goals, identify learning resources and/or setting, select suitable assessment strategies, and prepare a timetable for course completion. Student interest, personal ability, and availability of local resources will be determining factors in selection of focus areas. |
