Grade 9 Science (10F) (1 credit) (2011)
T0120 10F
This course will examine the very atoms that make up all matter on Earth, discover how electricity has been harnessed to operate machinery, uncover how our body tissues grow and regenerate, and explore the far-off stars and planets of our galaxy.
In each lesson you will read a few pages and them complete a learnign activity and/or assignment. Some lessons willhave hands-on experiments for you to perform, while others may require you to do some investigative research or observation work in the community.

Grade 12 Biology (40S)
1 credit (2011)
T0124 40S
In this course students will examine life as we know it. It uncovers the methods by which parents pass on traits to their offspring – how are new lives created, and what forces determine an individual’s appearance and capabilities. The course also explores how humans classify living organisms – what exactly separates a “mammal” from a “reptile”, and how have we revised our classifications in the wake of new discoveries such as DNA and genomes.
It is structured as follows:

Grade 12 Physics (40S)
1 credit (2009)
T0123 40S
This course continues the study of basic concepts that you have studied in the past as necessary prior knowledge for the new concepts that you will learn in this course. Grade 12 Physics will expand upon, and more fully complete, the investigation of some ideas already considered, as studied later in the course require that you understand and are able to apply knowledge from earlier in the course.
It is structured as follows:
Practice midterm and final exams (along with answer keys) are available on our ISO Downloads page.
