(MATPH12)
Big Ideas:
Homeostasis is maintained through physiological processes.
Gene expression, through protein synthesis, is an interaction between genes and the environment.
Organ systems have complex interrelationships to maintain homeostasis.
Anatomy and Physiology 12 is a demanding academic course, taking students from the level of biological molecules up through organelles, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, to the human organism. Students will have opportunities to participate in immersive lab activities such as enzyme catalyzed reactions, heart dissection, and rat dissection. This course is a fascinating look beneath the skin at the structures and functions within the human body and is intended for those students interested in pursuing health sciences in post secondary.
(MPH--12)
Students should confirm course expectations as they relate to both their grad requirements and their post-secondary program prerequisites.
Please see your teacher/counsellor if you require more information about this course
This course is the study of classical mechanics and electromagnetism, and is designed to help students develop analytical and problem-solving skills. It provides opportunities to understand and apply principles and concepts of physics to everyday situations.
Topics studied include:
2 dimensional kinematics and dynamics
Circular motion, torque, electrostatics
Electromagnetism
Einstein’s theory of special relativity.
Projects include, popsicle stick bridge building and other engineering contests.

Chemistry 12 is intended for Grade 12 students who have shown an aptitude for the subject and plan to take health sciences,
engineering or chemistry related courses at the post-secondary level.
The course contains extensive investigation of five areas:
Reaction Kinetics (Collision Theory of chemical reactions)
Dynamic Equilibrium & Le Chatelier's Principle
Saturated Solutions (an application of equilibrium)
Acid and Base Chemistry (New theories, pH, pOH, pKw, buffers, indicators, titrations)
Electrochemistry (electricity from chemicals) Problem solving and lab work is much more prevalent than in Chemistry 11
