What Does the British Columbia Ministry of Education Expect You To Know?
PRESCRIBED LEARNING OUTCOMES (PLO'S)
It is expected that students will know:
Processes of Science
A1 demonstrate safe procedures
A2 perform experiments using the scientific method
A3 represent and interpret information in graphic form
A4 demonstrate scientific literacy
A5 demonstrate ethical, responsible, cooperative behaviour
A6 describe the relationship between scientific principles and technology
A7 demonstrate competence in the use of technologies specific to investigative procedures and research
Life Science: Sustainability of Ecosystems
B1 explain the interaction of abiotic and biotic factors within an ecosystem
B2 assess the potential impacts of bioaccumulation
B3 explain various ways in which natural populations are altered or kept in equilibrium
Physical Science: Chemical Reactions and Radioactivity
C1 differentiate between atoms, ions, and molecules using knowledge of their structure and components
C2 classify substances as acids, bases, or salts, based on their characteristics, name, and formula
C3 distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds
C4 analyse chemical reactions, including reference to conservation of mass and rate of reaction
C5 explain radioactivity using modern atomic theory
Physical Science: Motion
C6 explain the relationship of displacement and time interval to velocity for objects in uniform motion
C7 demonstrate the relationship between velocity, time interval, and acceleration
Earth and Space Science: Plate Tectonics
D4 analyse the processes and features associated with plate tectonics
D5 demonstrate knowledge of evidence that supports plate tectonic theory
