I'd like to welcome you to Grade 9 Academic Science! This year, we will be starting out with our unit on Sustainable ecosystems. The big ideas for this unit are as follows:
- Assess the impact of human activities on the sustainability of terrestrial and/or aquatic ecosystems, and evaluate the effectiveness of courses of action intended to remedy or mitigate negative impacts;
- · Investigate factors related to human activity that affect terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and explain how they affect the sustainability of these ecosystems;
- · Demonstrate an understanding of the dynamic nature of ecosystems, particularly in terms of ecological balance and the impact of human activity on the sustainability of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
The
goals of this unit will be to
reinforce/instill a sense of wonder regarding the natural world in the grade
nine students. They will be give multiple opportunities to go outside and
study, pose questions, investigate in order to find answers to their questions,
practice safety, and make connections/build upon prior knowledge.
