This course provides students with the opportunity to acquire a body of knowledge in the areas of ecology, biodiversity, and genetics. In addition, this course will develop skills such as laboratory, communication, critical thinking, problem solving, and study skills.
The pre-requisite for this course is Chemistry 30S. Chemistry 40S is a study of matter and its properties, as well as application of all these chemical phenomena in our daily life. WHMIS, Aqueous Reactions, Atomic Structure, Kinetics, Chemical Equilibrium, Acid-Base Equilibrium and Electrochemistry will be taught at this level of Chemistry. In this course we will be following the curriculum set out for Chemistry 40S by Manitoba Education.
This course focuses on writing for practical purposes: persuasive and expository writing, research skills, analysis of writing style, basics of technical writing, as well as the study of media and literature.

The Family Studies course provides skills and knowledge in the areas of parenting, relationships and the well-being of individuals and families. Students increase their knowledge of how individuals and families function in society during different stages of the life cycle. The purposes of the course is to help students understand their own and their family situations, help students appreciate the variety and diversity among families today, make students more conscious of the personal decisions they must make throughout their life and of the societal influences that affect those decisions. It consists of six units: development, personal development, relationships and life choices, parenthood and diversity in family and aging.
Students research and discuss relevant social, political, environmental, and economic issues as they affect Canada and the world at large. Through their inquiry, students will ask questions and discuss what actions can be taken in light of their research.
The course is “topic” driven – 1st Nations concerns, water & pollution, non-renewable energy sources vs. sustainable energy practices, illiteracy and poverty will be discussed. Students will be involved in selecting other topics as the course progresses and they will assume responsibility for sharing their findings with the class.
The key aspect of the course will be participation – students must be active rather than passive. There will be no textbook required as most of the data will be taken from the Internet.
Law 40S introduces students to the Canadian legal system, as well as the principles, practices and consequences of law with regard to torts, contracts, crimes, property rights, family and inheritance.
The course is designed to help students understand mathematical concepts in a non-abstract and practical manner. The course incorporates hands-on exercises, projects, and everyday life applications. Topics include matrices, vectors, finances, systems of equations, probability, variability and statistical analyses, design and measurement, applications of periodic functions, sequences, and non-linear functions.

These topics are included in the course: fundamental concepts; first degree equations; products and factoring; formulae; functions and factorials; algebraic fractions; exponents and radicals; quadratic equations; simultaneous equations; sequences and series, graphing equations; analytic geometry; ratio and proportion; trigonometry; the laws of sines and cosines; trigonometric identities; sine waves and radians; and logarithms.
This course addresses mathematical application through the emphasis and context of consumer applications, problem solving, decision-making and spatial sense. The topics covered in this course include: Home Finance, Business Finance, Vehicle Finance, Precision Measurement, Statistics, Probability, Geometry and Trigonometry. This course is intended for students whose post-secondary planning does not include a focus on mathematics and science-related fields.

The emphasis in this course is on hands-on learning through labs and activities, as well as on problem-solving. Topics include kinematics (motion) in one and two dimensions, dynamics (forces affecting motion), circular motion, momentum and impulse, gravitational fields and space exploration, electric and magnetic fields, electric circuits and electro-magnetic induction, and nuclear and medical physics. A good knowledge of Grade 11 algebra and trigonometry is required.
