__GENERAL INFO__
DESCRIPTION > This course enables students to enhance their understanding of concepts in biology, chemistry, earth and space science, and physics, and of the inter-relationships between science, technology, society, and the environment. Students are also given opportunities to further develop their scientific investigation skills. Students will plan and conduct investigations and develop their understanding of scientific theories related to the connections between cells and systems in animals and plants; chemical reactions, with a particular focus on acid-base reactions; forces that affect climate and climate change; and the interaction of light and matter.

> **NOTE:** The overall expectations for each unit of study are detailed below. To see a list of specific expectations for each unit please refer to the Ministry of Education's webdocument: The Ontario Science Curriculum - Grades 9 & 10 (revised 2008)

TESTS, ASSIGNMENTS, & DUE DATES
 * Students are expected to be in class for all test and assignment submission dates. __Proper documentation is required if you have an extenuating circumstance that does not allow you to attend class on that day.__ Communication is necessary and required. So, if you know you are going to be absent talk to the teacher beforehand and let them know of your planned absence. For unplanned absences, a phone call, an email, or a message via the app Remind is needed.
 * Assignments are due at the start of class on the due date. Assignments submitted past the due date, without extenuating circumstances and without discussing it with the teacher prior to the due date, will not be evaluated. However, they are still required to demonstrate your understanding of the course expectations listed below.
 * **Late marks are 10% for grade 9 & 10 and 20% for grade 11 & 12 (including weekends & holidays)**
