<strong>International</strong> Baccalaureate (IB) Sciences<br />
All IB Science courses require students to maintain a portfolio of laboratory work that<br />
contributes towards their internal and external assessments. For the Standard Level,<br />
students must complete a minimum of 40 hours of practical activities, and Higher Level<br />
students must complete a minimum of 60 hours. The only exception to this is<br />
Environmental Systems and Societies, where students complete a minimum of 30 hours of<br />
practical work. In addition, towards the end of Grade 11, students participate in a<br />
collaborative project with students from other science disciplines.<br />
Biology IBS1, IBS2 Grade 11, 12<br />
Pre-requisite: 2 Science credits<br />
2 years, 1 credit per year<br />
This two-year course follows the approach and syllabus relevant to IB Standard Level<br />
Biology. In the first year, the majority of the topics in the IB core syllabus will be covered.<br />
It is expected that all students progress to IBS2, in which the remaining core topics and<br />
options are taught. IBS2 contains review segments in preparation for the external<br />
examination, which all students are required to take.<br />
Biology: IBH1 and IBH2 Grade 11, 12<br />
Pre-requisites: 2 Science credits, one of which should be Grade 10 Biology, and a teacher<br />
recommendation. In addition, a passing grade in Integrated Math 2 or equivalent is required.<br />
2 years, 1 credit per year<br />
This is an intensive two-year course preparing students for the IB Higher Level Biology<br />
examination at the end of Grade 12. The course is designed for students with a particular<br />
interest in and aptitude for Biology. The students will be required to participate in<br />
department organized field trips, which may include an overnight stay. Mathematical skills<br />
commensurate with simple geometry and statistics are required.<br />
Chemistry IBS1 and IBS2 Grade 11, 12<br />
Pre-requisite: 2 Science credits<br />
2 years, 1 credit per year<br />
This two-year course follows the approach and syllabus relevant to IB Standard Level<br />
Chemistry. In the first year, the majority of the topics in the IB core syllabus will be<br />
covered. It is expected that all students progress to IBS2, where the remaining core topics<br />
and options are taught. IBS2 contains review segments in preparation for the external<br />
examination, which all students are required to take.<br />
