Science, Grade 10, Applied
Ontario · Grade 10 · Science — the complete curriculum-aligned outline, taught skill by skill by MapleMind's AI tutor.
Unit 1: Investigation Skills and Careers
Careers related to the fields of science under study and the education and training they require, and scientists — including Canadians — who have contributed to those fields. The scientific investigation skills of strand A1 are woven through every lab and inquiry in strands B-E rather than taught here on their own.
- Careers in the sciences
- Scientists who contributed to these fields
Unit 2: Biology: Tissues, Organs, and Systems
Human cells, cell division and specialization, and how cells organize into tissues, organs, and systems — examined with the microscope and dissection — plus analysing medical imaging technologies and evaluating how technologies, substances, and environmental factors affect human tissues, organs, and systems.
- Medical imaging technologies
- Effects of technologies and substances on the body
- Human cell and system terminology
- Stages of mitosis in animal cells
- Investigating human cell specialization
- Cancerous vs non-cancerous cell division
- Dissecting an animal's organ system
- Researching a human health problem
- The cell cycle and its importance
- Specialized cells and tissues
- Cell organization in the body
- Functions of human body systems
- Interaction of body systems
Unit 3: Chemistry: Chemical Reactions and Their Practical Applications
Chemical reactions — synthesis, decomposition, displacement, and acid-base neutralization — investigated through inquiry and represented with word and balanced equations, grounded in conservation of mass, formulae, and the pH scale, with a strong applied focus on reactions in products, professions, and everyday processes.
- Reactions in products and processes
- Reactions in a profession
- Assessing chemical hazards
- Chemical-reaction terminology
- Molecular models of reactions
- Investigating reaction types
- Conservation of mass inquiry
- Investigating neutralization
- Classifying acids and bases
- Acid-base reactions in products
- Formulae, composition, and names
- Naming and writing formulae
- Writing balanced equations
- Neutralization reactions
- The pH scale
Unit 4: Earth and Space Science: Earth's Dynamic Climate
Earth's climate system and the natural and anthropogenic greenhouse effect — heat sinks, greenhouse-gas sources, and the causes and indicators of climate change — with an applied focus on a personal carbon footprint and a plan to reduce it, plus analysing how living things and human actions are affected by and affect climate change.
- Effects of climate change on living things
- Human actions and greenhouse gases
- Climate terminology
- Investigating the greenhouse effect
- Investigating a greenhouse-gas source
- Factors affecting global warming
- Your carbon footprint and a plan
- Tools for climate decisions
- Perspectives and bias in climate media
- Earth's climate system
- Natural vs anthropogenic greenhouse effect
- Heat sinks
- Naturally produced greenhouse gases
- Human-produced greenhouse gases
- Causes of climate change and Canada's role
- Indicators of climate change
Unit 5: Physics: Light and Applications of Optics
The behaviour of light — reflection in mirrors, refraction through lenses, and additive and subtractive colour — investigated with ray diagrams and a hands-on optical device, plus the electromagnetic spectrum, types of light emission, how colour works, and the role of optical technologies in everyday life and information transmission.
- Colour theory in technology
- Optical technologies and information
- Societal impact of optical technologies
- Light and optics terminology
- Investigating reflection in mirrors
- Investigating refraction
- Predicting converging-lens images
- How objects reflect, transmit, or absorb light
