Courses
Science 8 – MSC–08
Science 8 allows students to develop an understanding and appreciation of science in the world around them and how it affects them in their
everyday lives. An emphasis is placed on the development of scientific concepts and methods
through extensive group activities and laboratory experiments.
Areas of study include:
• Biology: Cells and Immune System
• Chemistry: Kinetic Molecular Theory and
Atomic Theory
• Physics: Light and Optics
• Earth Science: Plate Tectonics
Science 9 – MSC–09
Science 9 continues with topics introduced in Science 8 and further develops laboratory skills.
Areas of study include:
• Biology: Cells and reproduction
• Chemistry: Atoms, elements, and compounds
• Physics: Characteristics of electricity
• Earth Science: Energy cycles
Science 10 – MSC–10
This course completes the junior science curriculum. After completing Science 10, students may select senior science courses in the areas they choose to pursue.
Areas of study include:
• Biology: Genetics and Gene technologies
• Chemistry: Chemical reactions and energy
states
• Physics : Energy transformation and impacts
• Earth Science: formation of the universe
Enriched Courses
Science 8 Enriched – MSC–08ENR
This is an accelerated course for Odyssey students
that covers the Science 8 and Science 9. Students are expected to develop skills for scientific enquiry,
research, writing, and presentations through projects such as Science Fair. Students must be able to work independently and collaboratively, with their peers, and demonstrate leadership skills. Course is enriched with applicable field studies (to be arranged by the teacher due to availability).
Science 10 Enriched – MSC–10ENR
This is an accelerated course for Odyssey students that covers the Science 10 curriculum. Students continue to develop skills for scientific enquiry, research, writing and presentations through projects such as Science Fair. Students must be able to work independently and collaboratively, with their peers, and demonstrate leadership skills. Course is enriched with applicable field studies (to be arranged by the
