GRADE 12
APBIO
– Advanced Placement Biology Tutorial
This course runs once a week for 30 weeks to prepare students to write the AP Biology exam by
exploring the AP Biology Investigations. Students must also be enrolled in SBI4U in order to be eligible
for this course. Students must also have completed SCH3U and SCH4U is strongly recommended. This
is a non-credit course.
SBI4U
– Biology, Grade 12, University Preparation
1 CREDIT
This course provides students with the opportunity for in-depth study of the concepts and
processes associated with biological systems. You will consider how life works by studying the
theory and conducting investigations into populations (population genetics and population ecology),
homeostatic mechanisms (hormones and the nervous system), biochemistry (cellular respiration and
photosynthesis) and molecular genetics (DNA replication and protein synthesis). Emphasis will be
placed on the achievement of the detailed knowledge, refined skills and deep understandings needed
for further study in various branches of the life sciences and related fields.
Prerequisites: SBI3U – Biology, Grade 11, University Preparation
SCH4U
– Chemistry, Grade 12, University Preparation
1 CREDIT
This course delves into the theoretical explanations of matter that would enable a student to
manipulate the forces of nature, but only for good purposes: like creating self-warming hot-dogs or
non-irritating contact lenses. Labs are designed to complement course content while further refining
technical laboratory skills. Opportunities to quantify matter will significantly expand your understanding
of multiplication and division. You will be given an opportunity to explore academic research and
develop the communication skills with the scientific community. Program content: Unit 1 Energy
Changes and Rates of Reaction; Unit 2 Structure and Properties of Matter; Unit 3 Organic Chemistry;
Unit 4 Chemical Systems and Equilibrium; Unit 5 Electrochemistry; Unit 6 Scientific Investigation Skills
and Career Exploration (Integrated).
Prerequisite: SCH3U – Chemistry, Grade 11, University Preparation
SES4Ue
– Earth and Space Science, Grade 12, University Preparation, eLearning
1 CREDIT
This course develops students’ understanding of the Earth and its place in the universe. Students
will investigate the properties of and forces in the universe and solar system and analyse techniques
scientists use to generate knowledge about them. Students will examine the Earth’s place in the solar
system and, after a general introduction to Earth science, will explore in more detail the materials of
the Earth, its processes and its history. Throughout the course, students will learn how these forces,
processes and materials affect their daily lives. The course draws on astronomy, biology, chemistry,
mathematics and physics in its consideration of geological processes that can be observed directly or
inferred from other evidence.
Prerequisite: Science, Grade 10, Academic, SNC2D
