Course Description
This course enables students to enhance their understanding of concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics, and of the interrelationships between science, technology, society, and the environment. Students are also given opportunities to further develop their scientific investigation skills. Students will plan and conduct investigations and develop their understanding of scientific theories related to the connections between cells and systems in animals and plants; chemical reactions, with a particular focus on acid/base reactions; forces that affect climate and climate change; and the interaction of light and matter.
Biology
Students will demonstrate an understanding of the ways in which plants and animals, including humans, are made of specialized cells, tissues, and organs that are organized into systems. They will also evaluate the social and ethical implications of developments in medicine and medical technology.
Chemistry
Students will demonstrate an understanding of the predictable ways in which chemicals react. They will also explore how chemical reactions may have a negative impact on the environment, but they can also be used to address environmental challenges.
Earth and Space Science
Students will demonstrate an understanding that Earth’s climate is dynamic and is the result of interacting systems and processes. They will explore how global climate change is influenced by both natural and human factors. Students will also investigate the variety of ways climate change affects living things and natural systems. Finally, they will assess the impact of human activity on climate change and to identify effective courses of action to reduce this impact.
Physics
Students will demonstrate an understanding of the characteristics and properties of light that can be manipulated with mirrors and lenses for a range of uses. They will also explore the ways in which society has benefited from the development of a range of optical devices and technologies.
