entry to the workplace, for students who have difficulty
applying science concepts, and for students intending
to take the Grade 11 Workplace Science course. It will
help students to further develop essential science
concepts and skills introduced in the Grade 9 Essential
Science course. While it is optional and cannot be
used as one of the two compulsory science credits for
the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, this course provides
a bridge between Grade 9 Essential Science and Grade
11 Workplace Science to meet the needs and interests
of these students and prepare them for careers in the
workplace. Links to careers are made throughout the
course. This course enables students to deepen their
knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts in
biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics;
to develop practical skills in science investigation;
and to apply their knowledge and skills to everyday
situations. Students conduct investigations into
practical problems and issues related to the environment,
the nature of chemical reactions, motion, and weather.
A variety of hands-on activities assist students
to acquire concepts. Students are provided with opportunities
to use different presentation strategies to facilitate
the development of communication skills.
