This is the second course in the stream for students who want to achieve the basic Social Studies requirements.
Prerequisite: Social Studies 10-2
In Social Studies 20-1, students will examine historical and contemporary understandings of nationalism in Canada and the world. They will explore the origins of nationalism as well as the impacts of nationalism on individuals and communities in Canada and other locations. Examples of nationalism, ultranationalism, supranationalism, and internationalism will be examined from multiple perspectives.

Prerequisite: Social Studies 10-1
Description: (5 credits)
Chemistry 20 is an introductory course with a focus on the study of chemical bonding, solutions, acids and bases, gaseous systems, and quantitative relationships in chemical reactions.
Prerequisite:
- Science 10
Description:
When does a model or a theory need to change? Physics 30 students consider
historical experiments and explore why the model of the atom has changed
as a result of experiments and observations of natural phenomena. Students
apply a quantitative approach to describe conservation of momentum in an
isolated system, and they investigate applications and implications of electric
and magnetic forces and fields.
Prerequisite:
- Physics 20
Description: (5 credits)
Science 10 is an academic course with biology, chemistry, physics and climate change units. This is the foundation for progression through those science courses at the 20 and 30 levels.
This course uses the Addison Wesley Textbook for Science 10
Prerequisite:
- Science 9
Citing of Materials

Description: (5 credits)
Science 30 is a multi-disciplinary science covering topics in biology (circulation and immunity), environmental chemistry, physics (electromagnetic energy) and energy production technologies.
This is a diploma course where students will write a government exam for 30% of their mark.
Prerequisite:
- Science 20, Biology 20, Chemistry 20 or Physics 20
English 20-2

Students will examine the origins, values and components of competing ideologies. They will explore multiple perspectives regarding relationships among individualism, liberalism, common good and collectivism. Students will also examine various political and economic systems that will help to determine the viability of the values of liberalism. Developing understandings of the roles and responsibilities associated with citizenship will encourage students to respond to emergent global issues.
Social Studies 30-1 explores the origins and complexities of ideologies and examines multiple perspectives of classical and modern liberalism.
In Social Studies 10-1, students will explore multiple perspectives on the origins of globalization and the local, national, and international impacts of globalization on lands, cultures, economies, human rights, and quality of life. Students will examine the relationship between globalization, citizenship, and identity to enhance skills for citizenship in a globalizing world.
Description: (5 credits)
The physics 20 course investigates the motion of objects and explains why they move. Physics 20 requires a strong math background as concepts are developed with corresponding equations that are used to solve problems.
