Science 10<\/strong><\/p>\n

Course Number – 3300<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prequisite<\/strong>\u00a0– Science 9 or Science 9\/10 Honours<\/p>\n

Text<\/strong>\u00a0– BC Science 10 (http:\/\/www.bcscience10.com\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Course Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

Students in Science 10 will be actively involved in the scientific process and will be encouraged to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for scientific literacy. This course will focus on science safety, the scientific process, Earth’s ecosystems, chemical reactions, radioactivity, motion, energy transfer and plate tectonics.<\/p>\n

Final Exam<\/strong><\/p>\n

All Science 10 students will write a provincial exam worth 20% of their final mark.<\/p>\n

Prescribed Learning Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n

(taken from\u00a0http:\/\/www.bced.gov.bc.ca\/irp\/pdfs\/sciences\/2008sci_10.pdf<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Processes of Science<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is expected that students will:<\/p>\n

A1 demonstrate safe procedures
\nA2 perform experiments using the scientific method
\nA3 represent and interpret information in graphic form
\nA4 demonstrate scientific literacy
\nA5 demonstrate ethical,responsible, cooperative behaviour
\nA6 describe the relationship between scientific principles and technology
\nA7 demonstrate competence in the use oftechnologies specific to investigative procedures and research<\/p>\n

Life Science: Sustainability of Ecosystems<\/strong>
\nIt is expected that students will:
\nB1 explain the interaction of abiotic and biotic factors within an ecosystem
\nB2 assess the potential impacts of bioaccumulation
\nB3 explain various ways in which natural populations are altered or kept in equilibrium<\/p>\n

Physical Science: \u00a0Chemical Reactions and Radioactivity<\/strong>
\nIt is expected that students will:
\nC1 differentiate between atoms, ions, and molecules using knowledge of their structure and components
\nC2 classify substances as acids, bases, or salts, based on their characteristics, name, and formula
\nC3 distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds
\nC4 analyse chemicalreactions, including reference to conservation of mass and rate of reaction
\nC5 explain radioactivity using modern atomic theory<\/p>\n

Physical Science: Motion<\/strong>
\nC6 explain the relationship of displacement and time interval to velocity for objects in uniform motion
\nC7 demonstrate the relationship between velocity, time interval, and acceleration<\/p>\n

Earth and Space Science: Energy Transfer in Natural Systems<\/strong>
\nIt is expected that students will:
\nD1 explain the characteristics and sources of thermal energy
\nD2 explain the effects of thermal energy within the atmosphere
\nD3 evaluate possible causes of climate change and its impact on natural systems
\nEarth and Space Science:Plate Tectonics
\nD4 analyse the processes and features associated with plate tectonics
\nD5 demonstrate knowledge of evidence that supports plate tectonic theory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
