Science 20F (Grade 10 Science) is a course that focuses on four primary areas of Science: Ecology, Chemistry, Physics, and Weather. Within each of these, specific topics are examined. See the Course Description below for more detail.
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Here is a brief description of what is covered in each of the four areas:
Ecology - Dynamics of Ecosystems
• Study the stages of food chains and food webs.
• Analyze population dynamics to see what causes species numbers to rise or fall.
• See how dangerous chemicals can build to high levels in animals (bioaccumulation).
• Travel to Lake Minnewasta to study biodiversity within Manitoba.
Chemistry - Chemistry in Action
• Examine the interactions between groups of atoms / elements as they form into larger compounds.
• Perform experiments to see 4 different types of chemical reactions.
• Study the differences between acids and bases.
Physics - In Motion
• Investigate the physics involved with automobiles, mostly relating to speed and braking distances.
• The relationships between time, distance, velocity and acceleration are examined in graphical and numerical form.
• Study Newton’s three Laws of Motion and relate them to automobile safety.
Weather - Weather Dynamics
• Study how the Earth is heated by the Sun.
• Examine the causes of severe weather events such as hurricanes and blizzards.
• Investigate and evaluate the claims that global climate occurs due to natural events and human activities.
