Havergal's Uncalendar, 2021-22 Academic Year

SVN3Me – Environmental Science e-Learning, Grade 11, University/College 1 CREDIT Grade 11 Environmental Science appeals to students who want to continue learning about their environment and its relationship to society, human health, pollution and our use of resources. It is taught online, so there is an expectation that students are good at time management and enjoy using technology. Students work online with their classmates from across Ontario. Students have access to live interaction with the teacher and classmates in a virtual classroom environment. Assessment tools include online presentations, written lab reports, independent research projects, production of short videos and voice recordings, conversations, and observation. This course is not a prerequisite for Grade 12 Biology, Chemistry or Physics. Prerequisite: SNC2D – Science, Grade 10, Academic This course starts in January. GRADE 12 APBIO – Advanced Placement Biology Tutorial This course runs once a week for 30 weeks to prepare students to write the AP Biology exam by exploring the AP Biology Investigations. Students must also be enrolled in SBI4U in order to be eligible for this course. Students must also have completed SCH3U and SCH4U is strongly recommended. This is a non-credit course. This course provides students with the opportunity for in-depth study of the concepts and processes associated with biological systems. You will consider how life works by studying the theory and conducting investigations into populations (population genetics and population ecology), homeostatic mechanisms (hormones and the nervous system), biochemistry (cellular respiration and photosynthesis) and molecular genetics (DNA replication and protein synthesis). Emphasis will be placed on the achievement of the detailed knowledge, refined skills and deep understandings needed for further study in various branches of the life sciences and related fields. Prerequisites: SBI3U – Biology, Grade 11, University Preparation SBI4U – Biology, Grade 12, University Preparation 1 CREDIT

SCH4U – Chemistry, Grade 12, University Preparation 1 CREDIT This course delves into the theoretical explanations of matter that would enable a student to manipulate the forces of nature, but only for good purposes: like creating self-warming hot-dogs or non-irritating contact lenses. Labs are designed to complement course content while further refining technical laboratory skills. Opportunities to quantify matter will significantly expand your understanding of multiplication and division. You will be given an opportunity to explore academic research and develop the communication skills with the scientific community. Program content: Unit 1 Energy Changes and Rates of Reaction; Unit 2 Structure and Properties of Matter; Unit 3 Organic Chemistry; Unit 4 Chemical Systems and Equilibrium; Unit 5 Electrochemistry; Unit 6 Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration (Integrated). Prerequisite: SCH3U – Chemistry, Grade 11, University Preparation SES4Ue – Earth and Space Science, Grade 12, University Preparation, e-Learning 1 CREDIT This course develops students’ understanding of the Earth and its place in the universe. Students will investigate the properties of and forces in the universe and solar system and analyse techniques scientists use to generate knowledge about them. Students will examine the Earth’s place in the solar system and, after a general introduction to Earth science, will explore in more detail the materials of the Earth, its processes and its history. Throughout the course, students will learn how these forces, processes and materials affect their daily lives. The course draws on astronomy, biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics in its consideration of geological processes that can be observed directly or inferred from other evidence. Prerequisite: Science, Grade 10, Academic, SNC2D
