Biology 20 (5 credits)
Prerequisite: 50% in Science 10
This stream is an integrated, academic science program that explores concepts in biology, chemistry, physics, and earth sciences. It is designed for students enrolling in non-science fields at post-secondary institutions. The units of study are: The Changing Earth, Changes in Living Systems, Chemical Changes, and Changes in Motion.
Recommended Prerequisite 65% in Biology 20
The units of study are: Nervous and Endocrine Systems, Reproduction and Development, Cell Division, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Population and Community Dynamics.
Biology 20 AP (5 credits)
Prerequisite: 75% in Science 10 AP
The Advanced Placement Physics is designed to be the equivalent of an introductory college/university Physics course. The units of study are Kinematics, Dynamics, Circular Motion, Work and Energy, Oscillatory Motion and Mechanical Waves, Fluid Dynamics, and Circuits.
Biology 35 AP (3 credits)
Prerequisite: 75% in Biology 20 AP
Students registering in Biology 35 AP must also register in Biology 30 AP. Students will cover material from the AP program of studies that is not covered by the Alberta Curriculum. The units of study are evolution and genetics. Students will complete the AP Inquiry Based labs that fit the program of studies. The field trip to the Bamfield Marine Centre is completed in Biology 35 (additional cost).
Biology 30 AP (5 credit)
Prerequisite: 75% in Biology 20 AP
This course completes the AP Biology curriculum. Students registering in Biology 30 AP must also register in Biology 35 AP. The units of study are: Nervous and Endocrine Systems, Reproduction and Development, Cell Division, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Population and Community Dynamics. Students will complete the AP Inquiry Based labs that fit the program of studies.
