Science and Technology 11 Outline
Overview
This course is designed to provide students with a broad understanding of day-to-day concepts and trends in relation to science and technology. The idea is to make light of such concepts using hands-on activities and in-class discussion. The course is heavily weighted on work that is to be completed during class time and therefore regular attendance is essential for success. Although this course provides the grade 11 Science credit that is required for graduation, students should be aware that it does make them ineligible for university and some college programs.

- be in class on time and remain in the class unless excused.
