Units
Tissues, Organs & Systems of Living Things
How cells divide, specialize and work together as tissues, organs and organ systems in animals and plants, what happens when cell division goes wrong, and the medical technologies and public health choices built on that knowledge.

Chemical Reactions
How to name compounds and write their formulas, recognize and balance chemical reactions, classify them as synthesis, decomposition, displacement or combustion, measure acids and bases with pH, and use neutralization to solve real environmental problems.

Climate Change
How Earth's climate system works, how heat moves through air and water, why greenhouse gases warm the planet, how scientists know the climate is changing, and what the effects and responses look like in Canada and around the world.

Simulators
Simulators for every course →
SNC2DDrag an object in front of a curved mirror or lens to trace the principal rays and see where the image forms, with its size, attitude, location and type checked by the mirror and lens equation.
SNC2DPick two materials and an angle to watch light bend, with Snell's law, the speed of light in each, the critical angle and total internal reflection worked out.
SNC2DChange the coefficients of 24 real reactions and watch a live atom inventory (and the molecules themselves) until every element balances in lowest terms.
SNC2DChange CO₂ and albedo in a one-layer energy-balance model and see sunlight, reflection and infrared flows and the temperature Earth's surface settles at, compared with no greenhouse effect.
