Sciences 9 Immersion
Sciences 9 Immersion is divided into 4 units:
Unit 1 : La reproduction
Students examine the fundamental processes of reproduction, heredity, and the transmission of traits from one living generation to the next. Students investigate and debate current developments and uses of gene manipulation and therapy.
Unit 2 : Les atomes et les éléments
Building on past explorations using various substances and the particle model of matter, students should become familiar with the basic constituents of atoms and molecules, with chemical symbols themselves, and with common elements and compounds.
Unit 3 : Les caractéristiques de l’électricité
Technologies based on the principles of electricity are an important part of the students’ world. An understanding of the essentials of electrostatics and electric circuits will enable students to connect their learning to everyday applications. Investigations help students to learn the laws of electrostatic charges and to study some features and properties of electrostatics and electrical circuits.
Unit 4 : L’exploration spatiale
The study of space exploration provides opportunities for students to develop an understanding of the origin, evolution, and components of the solar system and the universe. As students become more aware of the solar system and the universe and understand them better, they develop a greater appreciation of how they function.
