Now how does that work? Discover some of the answers in Biology 20, where you’ll study topics like energy and matter exchange in the biosphere, ecosystems and population change, photosynthesis and cellular respiration, and human systems.
Course Overview
Knowledge and Employability science provides basic science literacy. The courses promote awareness, understanding and the development and application of science skills, knowledge and attitudes for successful living at home, at the workplace and in the community. ADLC’s Science 20-4 course is available online and as a print course. Teachers who gain access to this course will see there are six Themes (units) of study.
Theme 1: Understanding Chemical Change
Theme 2: Types of Chemical Reactions
Theme 3: Energy: Its Forms and Uses
Theme 4: Converting Energy to Useful Forms
Theme 5: The Many Aspects of Human Health
Theme 6: Motion, Change, and Transportation Safety
Online: All lessons and assignments are provided as a complete course. Self-Check assignments are auto-graded. All other assignments are assessed by the teacher. Answer keys and rubrics are provided for the teacher as well. There are no tests or exams because this is not a requirement according to the Program of Studies for Knowledge and Employability courses.
Print: All lessons and assignments are provided as a complete course. These are available as pdf’s and located in the Teacher Resource section when a teacher gains access to the online course.
Note: Print resources cannot be purchased from ADLC. Print resources as PDF’s are accessible via teacher’s login to the online course in Moodle. Teachers can print at will.
Teacher Resources
ADLC’s Knowledge and Employability courses are available only through ADLC’s Teacher Support service. The superuser of the school can add any K&E course via SIS. If the school does not have an assigned superuser, one can be requested using the SuperUser Request Form on www.adlc.ca. ADLC’s Partner Support will process these requests and send a username and password to the new superuser.
There is no cost to schools or teachers to access courses via Teacher Support.

This Grade 7 Science course was designed to work with the Science in Action 7 textbook. There are notations for textbook readings from the ScienceFocus textbook, so the course could be aligned to that textbook, if desired. In that case, modifications would need to be made to quiz question banks to ensure all the questions relate to topics addressed in that textbook.
This course has a standard schedule for every week: 1 green lesson book of online and textbook readings, 3 formative assignments, and 1 multiple choice quiz. Each unit also has a big unit exam and unit project. All quizzes in the first 3 units of this course are multiple choice, but short answer quiz options have been added for Units 4 and 5.

Recently, all the links to our Google drive images have broke. I'll see if I can fix that.
