Welcome to Grade 9 Science!!! Grade 9 Science is a course that aims to develop scientific literacy. Scientific literacy is an evolving combination of the science related attitudes, skills, and knowledge students need to develop inquiry, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities; to become lifelong learners; and to maintain a sense of wonder about the world around them. You will discover things about the scientific world around you through in-class work, labs, field trips, activities, group work, poster projects, and web research. Grade 9 Science is a core subject required for promotion to Grade 10.
