The new de-streamed Science, Grade 9 course (SNC1W) will be issued in Spring 2022 and will be available for educators and parents on the Curriculum and Resources website. The new course will be implemented in classrooms beginning in September 2022. This course will replace Science, Grade 9, Academic (SNC1D) and Science, Grade 9, Applied (SNC1P). As of September 2022, these courses are not offered, and the associated course codes will expire at the end of the 2021-22 school year.
This course enables students to develop their understanding of concepts related to biology, chemistry, physics, and earth and space science, and to relate science to technology, society, and the environment. Throughout the course, students will develop and refine their STEM skills as they use scientific research, scientific experimentation, and engineering design processes to investigate concepts and apply their knowledge in situations that are relevant to their lives and communities. Students will continue to develop transferable skills as they become scientifically literate global citizens.
Prerequisite: None
