Course details


Science 14

This course is designed to enable the weaker science student to be successsful in Science 10 in the fall. Topics covered include a review of the relevant junior high school science program, a reinforcement of prerequisite math skills, and a brief introduction to chemistry, biology and physics. Successsful students will receive 5 credits in Science 14.

These classes take place in an online virtual classroom.
Students are encouraged to register at their home school site if it is available. If your home school site is not available, please choose another site as all classes are held online.

No classes available.

Prerequisite: Completed junior high or equivalent

Credits: 5

Science 24

The Science 24 program aims to make Science learning relevant by presenting it in a meaningful context. There will be opportunities for students to explore the process of science, its applications and implications, and to examine related technological problems and issues. By doing so, students become aware of the role of science in responding to social and cultural change and in meeting needs for a sustainable environment, economy, and society.

These classes take place in an online virtual classroom.
