Science 9 Discovery
An inquiry-based alternative to Sc 9 & 10 with the same curricular competencies and content.
“We want the lovers of science, the inquisitive, the keen. Basically, we want the science-geeks.”
The Science Discovery Program (formerly known as Science Honours) is intended to encourage those with a keen interest in science. We will focus on hands-on experiments, collaborative group work, and the use of student choice; with the model of Project Based Learning in our exploration of topics in all branches of Science, from material covered in the classroom to science in the ‘real-world’.
To make more of those connections to ‘real-world’ science’, we are also involved with ‘science volunteering’ at the school or in the community.
The intention of this course is to develop a deeper understanding of science, and not to have a “harder” course. Achievement tends to be as good, or better, than in the regular science classes.
All students must sign up for Science 9 on their course selection forms. Selection will be changed to Science 9 Discovery if students apply for Discovery and are subsequently recommended by the department.
