SCIENCE FOR CITIZENS 11
| science_11_outline_-_2025.docx |
Science for Citizens 11 is more of a mindset than a set curriculum. The core message is, science is everywhere -- and it's up to us to get involved.
We will be dividing our time in class between learning and exposure to some of our topics of study, work days and lab days. You are expected to complete much of the work at home. Projects should be done individually or in groups of 2 people.
Speaking of topics, if you follow this link, you will see a very long list. When thinking of the incredible impact (both positive and negative) of science and technology to our modern lives, there are so many topics to choose from, we couldn't possibly cover everything in one term! Due to these constraints, you will be independently researching and learning about topics of your choice, and creating 5 large inquiry projects to be delivered in different dates, up to the end of the term. Suggested dates will be posted below as soon as we have more information regarding the schedule and mark deadlines.
Before we get started, you will develop a rubric for your projects together. We can divide an inquiry project into 4 different steps; how can we know the project is successful?
In groups of 4-5, discuss one of the steps below and fill in the corresponding spaces on the rubric you received.
