Science 9\/10 Honours<\/strong><\/p>\n

Course Number – 3335<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prerequisite<\/strong>\u00a0– Science 8\/9 Honours or Science 8 with permission of the Science 9\/10 Honours teacher. \u00a0Note: \u00a0Students entering Science 9\/10 Honours from Science 8 will be expected to write an exam in September. \u00a0This exam will test the material from Science 9 covered in Science 8\/9 Honours. \u00a0Please speak to the Science 8\/9 Honours or Science 9\/10 Honours teachers for details.<\/p>\n

Text<\/strong>\u00a0– BC Science Probe 9 (http:\/\/www.nelson.com\/bcscienceprobe9\/centre.html<\/a>) and\u00a0BC Science 10 (http:\/\/www.bcscience10.com\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n

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

The completion of Science 9\/10 Honours gives students the opportunity to complete Science 8,9 and 10 in two years. \u00a0\u00a0In the first second year of this two year program students will complete all of part of Science 9 and all of Science 10. \u00a0As this is an accelerated program the expectations for the course are higher than in the regular science classes. \u00a0Students will be challenged with a larger workload, more homework as well as more challenging tests and quizzes. \u00a0Completion of Science 9\/10 Honours does not guarantee entrance into grade 11 science honours courses. \u00a0A student who struggles in this course may not be recommended for grade 11 science honours courses.<\/p>\n

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

All Science 9\/10 Honours students will write a provincial exam worth 20% of their final mark. \u00a0This exam will only cover material from Science 10.<\/p>\n
