SNC2D Grade 10 Science (Academic)
The academic Grade 10 course and the single gate into SBI3U, SCH3U and SPH3U alike. Each strand previews its Grade 11 discipline honestly — the chemistry unit is real stoichiometry-lite, the optics unit is real physics.
Inside the course
Biology: cells, tissues, organs and systems
Chemistry: chemical reactions and balancing equations
Physics: geometric optics — mirrors, lenses, refraction
Earth science: climate systems and climate change
Designing and reporting controlled experiments
Where it leads
The prerequisite for all three Grade 11 U sciences. Students planning a health-science or engineering profile usually take two of the three in Grade 11 — plan the pair here.
PREREQUISITE
Assessment & credit
Standard Ontario assessment: 70% coursework, 30% final evaluation. Completion ships as an official transcript, OUAC-listed and recognized by public and private schools.
