Grade 10 Science (SNC2D)

The Ontario Grade 10 Science course SNC2D has five strands: investigation skills, biology, chemistry, climate change and optics. The museum maps four of them, through physicians, optical scholars, fatwa answers and an old geography of the earth.

Draft: these lessons were written with AI help and have not yet been read by a human editor.

Strand A: Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration

The skills of scientific inquiry and the exploration of careers and scientists (expectations A1 and A2). The museum maps one lesson, on scientists and careers.

  1. Scientists and the careers of science How a student meets scientists and the careers of science in the museum: a scholar of optics, the craft of the physician and one physician's path of training (A2.1, A2.2). ScholarCareers × 2

Strand B: Biology: Tissues, Organs, and Systems of Living Things

Medical and technological developments, cell division and specialization, and the organization of tissues, organs and systems (expectations B1 to B3). The museum maps three lessons: the parts of a body, a disease compared, and the ethics of new biology.

  1. How the parts of a body work together How organs were grouped, what the principal organs were said to do, and how the blood's route runs through the lungs, as medieval physicians wrote it (B3.3, B3.4, B3.5). ReflectionInvention
  2. Studying a disease: two illnesses compared How one physician of the medieval world compared two diseases that look alike (B2.7). Invention
  3. New biology and its ethics: what do the fatwas say? Two answers of one fatwa body on organ donation and on plant cloning, as evidence for an analysis of ethical issues (B1.1). Object × 2

Strand D: Earth and Space Science: Climate Change

The effects of climate change, the factors that shape Earth's climate and the greenhouse effect (expectations D1 to D3). The museum maps one lesson, on an old way of dividing the earth into climates.

  1. Dividing the earth into climates One old system for classifying the regions of the inhabited earth, and how a student can set it beside a classification of their own region (D2.8). Place

Strand E: Physics: Light and Geometric Optics

Devices that use light, the properties of light and its behaviour in mirrors and lenses (expectations E1 to E3). The museum maps two lessons: the dark room and the rainbow, and reflection on a circular mirror.

  1. Light in a straight line, and the rainbow Ibn al-Haytham's dark room, the camera that the encyclopaedia traces to it, and al-Farisi's water-sphere model of the rainbow (E1.2, E3.8). Invention × 2
  2. Where does light reflect on a curved mirror? A geometrical question about where light reflects on a circular mirror between an object and an eye (E2.2, E2.3, E3.3). Invention
