BELL HIGH SCHOOL Science Department COURSE NAME: Grade 10 Applied Level Science COURSE CODE: SNC2P COURSE OVERVIEW: This course enables students to develop a deeper understanding of concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics, and to apply their knowledge of science in real-world situations. Students are given opportunities to develop further practical skills in scientific investigation. Students will plan and conduct investigations into everyday problems and issues related to human cells and body systems; chemical reactions; factors affecting climate change; and the interaction of light and matter. LEARNING RESOURCES: TEXTBOOK + $85.00 ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION: Students will be evaluated according to the overall expectations of this course. Students will receive ongoing feedback via assessments that they can use to improve their learning and ability to demonstrate course expectations. The following conversion chart shows how the four levels of achievement are aligned to percentage marks: Achievement Level Percentage Mark Range 4+ 95100 4 4- 3+ 3 3- 2+ 87-94 80-86 77-79 73-76 70-72 67-69 2 63–66 2- 1+ 1 60-62 57-59 53-56 150–52 Below Level 1 (R) signifies additional learning is required to demonstrate competency in the expectation being evaluated. An “I” signifies that the student has not provided evidence to allow the expectation to be evaluated. The final mark will be based on 70% course work and 30% summative evaluations [exam(s) and/or performance task(s)]. Course Strands & Overall Expectations: A. Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration A1: Investigation Skills: demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in the four areas of skills (initiating and planning, performing and recording, analysing and interpreting, and communicating); A2: Career Exploratioin: identify and describe a variety of careers related to the fields of science under study, and identify scientists, including Canadians, who have made contributions to those field B. Biology: Tissues, Organs and Systems B1: Technology: analyse some current technologies or substances that have an impact on human tissues, organs, or systems, and evaluate their effects on human health; B2: Investigation: investigate cell division, cell specialization, and the organization of systems in animals, including humans, using various laboratory techniques; B3: Hierarchal Organization: demonstrate an understanding of the hierarchical organization of cells, from tissues, to organs, to systems in animals, including humans. C. Chemistry: Chemical Reactions and their Practical Applications C1: Societal and Environmental Impact: analyse how chemical reactions are employed in common products and processes, and assess the safety and environmental hazards associated with them; C2: Chemical Reactions: investigate, through inquiry, the characteristics of simple chemical reactions; C3: Understanding Chemical Terminology: demonstrate an understanding of simple chemical reactions and the language and ways to represent them D. Earth and Space Science: Dynamic Climate D1: Effects on Environment: analyse effects of human activity on climate change, and effects of climate change on living things and natural systems; D2: Anthropogenic Effect: investigate various natural and human factors that have an impact on climate change and global warming;; D3: Demonstrate understanding of global warming: demonstrate an understanding of various natural and human factors that contribute to climate change and global warming E. Physics: Light and Application of Optics E1: Application of technology: analyse how properties of light and colour are applied in technology and the impact of these technologies on society; E2: Properties of Light: investigate, through inquiry, properties of light, and predict its behaviour in mirrors and as it passes through different media; E3: Understanding Light Properties: demonstrate an understanding of characteristics and properties of light, particularly with respect to reflection and refraction and the addition and subtraction of colour. Methods Of Assessment: Tests, quizzes, lab reports, lab skills, group work, presentations, assignments, and research projects Supplementary Notes: Regular attendance is an integral part of learning and evaluation. Students are responsible for all material including tests, lab work, and any assignments studied in class. Irregular attendance may limit the ability of a student to earn a credit in any course. Students who are absent for a test or assignment must make arrangements for make-ups upon their return to school, no later than the next scheduled class. It will be the student’s responsibility to make these arrangements. **Notify the subject teacher in advance for absences due to scheduled school activities or previously arranged appointments. **In cases of unexpected absence, contact the teacher directly at the school (828-9101) OR by email to make arrangements. **Make-ups will be permitted if the absence is substantiated by one of: -a note from parents -a doctor’s note -attendance at a school-sponsored activity Students who miss tests, assignments, labs, and/or class presentations as a result of an unsubstantiated absence will receive a mark of zero (0).
