- Students will demonstrate an understanding of hierarchies in biology, from intracellular to organ system levels of organization. Through processes of inquiry and independent investigation, they will use the scientific method and other skills of criticism and appraisal to apprehend cell division, specialization, and structure and function of tissues, organs and organ systems in plant and animal kingdoms. They will consider social, ethical and ecological implications of biological and biomedical advancements in this multidisciplinary field of study.
- Students will demonstrate an understanding of how light behaves and how its properties can be changed using mirrors and lenses. They will also explore how the development of different optical devices and technologies has benefited society in various ways.
- Students will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of technological devices and procedures designed to make use of light, and assess their social benefits. Investigate, through inquiry, the properties of light, and predict its behaviour, particularly with respect to reflection in plane and curved mirrors and refraction in converging lenses. Demonstrate an understanding of various characteristics and properties of light, particularly with respect to reflection in mirrors and refraction in lenses.

- Unit Description:In this unit, students will demonstrate an understanding of various characteristics and properties of light, with particular attention to reflection and refraction. They will develop ways of communicating predictions and observed results mathematically, verbally and graphically. Through processes of inquiry and independent investigation, they will use the scientific method and other skills of criticism and appraisal to determine properties of light and predict its behavior on and through various media, including various reflective shapes and lenses. They will discuss the technological devices and procedures designed to make use of light, and appraise the social implications of these innovations.Overall Expectations:E1. evaluate the effectiveness of technological devices and procedures designed to make use of light, and assess their social benefits;E2. investigate, through inquiry, the properties of light, and predict its behaviour, particularly with respect to reflection in plane and curved mirrors and refraction in converging lenses;E3. demonstrate an understanding of various characteristics and properties of light, particularly with respect to reflection in mirrors and reflection and refraction in lenses.Unit Goals:By the end of this unit, you will be able to answer following question:How do mirrors form images?How does light behave as it travels from one medium into another? How do lenses produce images, and how do lenses benefit humans?

- Unit Description:In this unit, students will demonstrate an understanding of factors that influence Earthās climate and contribute to climate change or stability. They will independently investigate and evaluate the validity of evidence of climate change and those natural and human factors involved. They will analyze some of the effects of climate change around the world, and assess the effectiveness of initiatives that attempt to address the issue of climate change. They will report their findings in manners conventionally accepted in the scientific community.Overall Expectations:D1. analyze some of the effects of climate change around the world, and assess the effectiveness of initiatives that attempt to address the issue of climate change;D2. investigate various natural and human factors that influence Earthās climate and climate change;D3. demonstrate an understanding of natural and human factors, including the greenhouse effect, that influence Earthās climate and contribute to climate change.Unit Goals:By the end of this unit, you will be able to answer following question:o Learn about the effects of climate changeo Learn about the influence of human activities on climate changeo Understand the factors that contribute to climate changeAssessment OF Learning Summary:Unit Test (P,C)News video (Group assignment)
