Grade 9

Science 10F (SC10F) 

This course provides an overview of various branches of science. Topics included for study are: 

• Lab safety
• Physics: How is electrical energy created and distributed?
• Chemistry: What is matter made of?
• Biology: How can genetics help explain evolution?

Additional information: The use of chemical resistant goggles is mandatory when performing high school lab activities that involve chemicals. As such, all students will be charged a goggle fee when they register at J.H. Bruns. Goggles will be provided to each Grade 9 student at the beginning of their Science 10F course. Implementation of the new Grade 9 Science curriculum at J.H. Bruns will begin in September of 2025. Draft documents of the curriculum may be found at: https://www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/cur/science/index.html.

Grade 10

Science 20F (SC20F)

• Lab Safety and Numeracy in Science
• Weather
• Motion
• Chemistry
• Ecology
  

Additional Information: This is a required credit for the Province of Manitoba and forms the basis of future study in the Sciences.
