Overview of Grade 9 Science (SNC1D, SNC1P, MPM1DZ, SNC1DP, SNC1D)

Upon commencing Grade 9 Science, students, for the first time, delve into the details and intricacies presented in each of 4 Physical Sciences: Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Earth & Space Science.

At the end of the Grade 9 Chemistry unit, students are expected to answer many nuanced questions, some of which include: What is an ion? What is an ionic bond? What is an ionic compound? What is ionization? What is a polyatomic ion? Although there are similarities between these terms, it is their major conceptual differences that are often tested. Yet, students tend to unconsciously interchange these terms. Why?

Students often have difficulty categorizing newly learned concepts in High School Science due to small subtleties in terminology (such as those mentioned), turning otherwise fair concepts into difficult ones.

York Region tutors recognize and appreciate that such nuances in all 4 Sciences can be an obstacle to student learning, and work to keep each student’s perspective at the heart of their teaching as they work one-on-one through homework, assignments and laboratories.

  • Elements and compounds have specific physical and chemical properties that determine their practical uses.
  • The use of elements and compounds has both positive and negative effects on society and the environment.
Earth and Space
Click to expand
  • Different types of celestial objects in the solar system and universe have distinct properties that can be investigated and quantified.
  • People use observational evidence of the properties of the solar system and the universe to develop theories to explain their formation and evolution.
  • Space exploration has generated valuable knowledge but at enormous cost.
Physics

  • Electricity is a form of energy produced from a variety of non-renewable and renewable sources.
  • The production and consumption of electrical energy has social, economic, and environmental implications.
  • Static and current electricity have distinct properties that determine how they are used.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN OUR LESSONS?

York Region Tutoring Provides

Write Past Tests

If a student is approaching a forthcoming test, we can provide them with a previous test to be completed at home before their upcoming session. Subsequently, during their next class, just before the exam, they can review the test with their tutor. These tests are exclusively sourced from high schools in York Region and other areas in Ontario, serving as the definitive benchmark for students to assess their readiness.

We Come To Class Prepared

York Region Tutors and are equipped with drawing tablets making collaboration simple, efficient and effective. We also offer drawing tablets at a discount for purchase to students who really take to the functionality of the product.

YRDSB-Minded Homework

At the parents' request, following each tutoring session, our tutors can assign homework tailored to address weaknesses and reinforce strengths in students. Additionally, we incorporate homework questions directly extracted from previous tests and quizzes administered by YRDSB school teachers, allowing students to familiarize themselves with potential test questions.
