Sciences 10 immersion
Sciences 10 Immersion is divided into 4 units:
Unit 1 : La durabilité des écosystèmes: Due to a change in environmental attitudes, today’s students are much more aware of the fragile nature of the environment. Despite technological advances that allow more efficient use of natural resources/systems, the drive to be economically competitive puts stress on the delicate environmental balance.
Unit 2 : Les réactions chimiques: The study of chemical reactions provides students with an opportunity to apply their understanding of atomic structure to how chemicals react. By naming and writing common ionic and molecular compounds and by balancing a variety of equation types, students make connections to a variety of chemical examples in everyday life.
Unit 3: Le mouvement: The concept of motion allows students to investigate and develop their interest in sports that are part of daily lives. Students have the opportunity not only to investigate the principles of kinematics but also to apply kinematics to areas of individual interest.
Unit 4: La dynamique des phénomènes météorologiques: Global climate and local weather patterns are affected by many factors and have many consequences. This unit asks the students to consider questions such as: “What decisions do we face due to weather conditions?” ; “How are our lives affected by changing weather conditions (short term) and climate change (long term)?” ; and “What causes these weather patterns?”
