Biology 12

Grade 12 Courses

This course enables students to deepen their understanding of chemistry through the study of organic chemistry, the structure and properties of matter, energy changes and rates of reaction, equilibrium in chemical systems, and electrochemistry. Students will further develop their problem-solving and investigation skills as they investigate chemical processes and will refine their ability to communicate scientific information. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of chemistry in everyday life and on evaluating the impact of chemical technology on the environment.

Grade 12 Courses

CanadianGrad Academy enhances students’ understanding of various functions, including polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric. It focuses on properties investigation, function combination techniques, rates of change, and application skills. The course also sharpens mathematical processes for senior mathematics. It’s suitable for students aiming for Calculus and Vectors or other university programs, helping consolidate their mathematical knowledge.

Grade 12 Courses

This course further develops students’ knowledge and skills in computer science. Students will design and write programs using object oriented programming (Java) to develop algorithms to solve a variety of problems. Students will have the opportunity to apply programming and project management techniques in a student-managed project. Students will explore the breadth of topics of studies involved in computer science by investigating topics in computer science theory; carrier opportunities in Computer Science; the impact of emergent technologies, and ethical issues and practices in computer science.

Grade 12 Courses

This course broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing data. Students will apply methods for organizing and analyzing large amounts of information; solve problems involving probability and statistics; and carry out a culminating investigation that integrates statistical concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. Students planning to enter university programs in business, the social sciences, and the humanities will find this course of particular interest.

Grade 12 Courses

This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in three-dimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course.

Grade 12 Courses

This course enables students to deepen their understanding of Earth and Space Science concepts and theories. They will further develop their scientific investigation skills, learning, for example, how to analyse, qualitatively and quantitatively, data related to a variety of Earth and Space Science concepts and principles. Students will also consider the impact of technological applications of Earth and Space Science on society and the environment.
