- What aspects of this course did you enjoy the most?
Throughout this course, I enjoyed doing labs and simulations the most. I especially enjoyed the bird mutation simulation, and the acid and bases labs. They were the most interactive thing we did, and I especially found it more engaging and easier to understand when it was explained through a simulation or lab.
2. What aspects of the course did you not enjoy?
Some of the aspects that I did not enjoy as much was the memorization for biology, the understanding/math in physics. I also did not enjoy the radiation unit because I found it to be a hard concept to grasp, and overall I found it boring.
3. Were there any topics or activities that you are interested in that were not covered in this course?
The main topic I am interested in is the system and movement in the human body. Biology for science 10 was mostly about DNA and mutations, so I am looking forward to Anatomy and Physiology 12 when I take that course in grade 12.
4. What skills did you improve on during this course? (ex. studying, time management critical thinking)
During this course, I improved my time management skills because I had to balance this class with other academic classes and school sports. I found that Science 10 involved even more studying, assignments and focus, so I really improved with getting things done right away, not procrastinating and having better time management.
5. Do you have any recommendations for how this course was taught?
I don’t really have huge recommendations for how this course was taught, but I do have some minor suggestions or some feedback on my opinion. I found that some concepts needed more explaining, as some units were a bit brief. I also found that some multiple choice test questions were not what we learned or focused on, so this was a bit frustrating at times.
6. If you had the chance to do this course again is there anything you would do differently?
I would probably study even more thoroughly because there were some test questions on some worksheets/notes that I did not study or did not think were important, resulting in me not knowing the answer.
7. Which science courses are you taking next year?
Next year in grade 11 I am taking the three main sciences; Life Sciences 11, Chemistry 11 and Physics 11.
