The Science 8 curriculum uses models to explore scientific ideas. What’s inside a cell? What are the building blocks that make up our world? How do waves behave? How do our eyes work? What causes earthquakes, volcanoes, and the landscape around us? Students learn to work safely in a laboratory setting as we explore these ideas together.

Do you like working with your hands? Do you like learning in group collaborative environments? Are you a creative person who likes making things? If so, the Byrne Creek STEAM Program may be for you! Grade 8 students can meet their Science 8 requirement as part of an integrated Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math (STEAM) program. Learn skills like Coding, Robotics, Electronics, Drafting, Art (traditional and digital) and Engineering. Combine these skills with your Math and Science learning, then build cool things, complete creative art projects, and solve problems.
An application is required for the STEAM program. Find more information here.

The Science 9 curriculum focuses on cycles and relationships. How and why do elements react with one another? Why do different species reproduce in different ways? How do cell processes support reproduction? How can we build and adjust electrical circuits? How do human actions impact our environment? Explore the cause & effect relationships in the world around us.

The Science 10 curriculum focuses on conservation: everything comes from somewhere! How is matter rearranged in chemical reactions? Which principles govern energy transformations? How is genetic information conserved when we inherit traits from our parents? How does conservation apply to an expanding universe? Science 10 builds proficiency with science terminology and mathematical approaches that students will use extensively at the grade 11 & 12 level.
