Science 10
Alberta · Grade 10 · Science — the complete curriculum-aligned outline, taught skill by skill by MapleMind's AI tutor.
Unit 1: Energy & Matter in Chemical Change
What matter is made of, how the periodic table lets elements combine into named compounds, and how chemical change conserves mass — the chemistry foundation for every science that follows.
- Particles that make up matter
- How elements combine to form compounds
- Naming ionic compounds (IUPAC)
- Naming simple molecular compounds (IUPAC)
- Identifying and classifying chemical changes
- Writing balanced equations & conservation of mass
Unit 2: Energy Flow in Technological Systems
How steam engines and other machines were built before thermodynamics was understood, how we measure energy in mechanical systems, and why no energy transformation is ever perfectly efficient.
- Technology developed before the laws
- Defining the measures of energy
- Calculating energy and work
- Energy conservation and efficiency of transformations
Unit 3: Cycling of Matter in Living Systems
How imaging technology built our picture of the cell, what each organelle does, how matter moves in and out of a cell, and how a plant scales that cell up into tissues and systems.
- Imaging technology and understanding of the cell
- Function of cell organelles and structures
- Modelling transport across the cell
- Specialized structures in plants
Unit 4: Energy Flow in Global Systems
How solar energy drives the biosphere, how global energy transfer shapes climate, why climate defines the world’s biomes, and how environmental factors are changing that climate.
- Solar energy, terrestrial energy and the biosphere
- Net solar energy, global transfer and climate
- Climate and the world’s major biomes
- Environmental factors and climate change
