Science 9 Course Details
Teacher
Chris Vickers
Prerequisite
It is recommended that students complete Science 8.
Description
Science 9 is best suited for students who work well in a structured environment where the teacher assists the student in a regular manner. Students meet with the class online each week to receive content introduction, practice, and get assistance with difficulties. All assignments, lesson materials, and testing are done online.
The course consists of four units:
Biology
Chemistry
Space Science
Physics
The course parallels the paper-based course in content, so students may shift easily from one format to the other, if necessary.
