Online Teacher: Odette Barr
Prerequisite(s): Science 10
Course Content: Biology 112 is an introductory exploration of both the unity and diversity among living things. Students first review key scientific principles. Advancing microscope technology is tracked in tandem with the historical development of cell theory. Students study the cell as the basic unit of life, followed by a broad survey of the wide diversity of living organisms with whom we share our planetary home. Throughout the course, newly acquired knowledge is linked to the continuing story of human discovery of structures, functions and evolutionary trends of living organisms. Along the way, students investigate the impact of biology and technology on society, and the impact of human activities on the natural world. Finally, students investigate some of the systems that allow multicellular organisms to maintain dynamic equilibrium, or homeostasis, as they interact with the natural environment—specifically, the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, excretory and immune systems.

Prerequisite(s): Science 10
Course Content: Biology 122 focuses on the molecular level of vital life processes. Students first study how organisms grow and pass along characteristics to future generations. The processes of mitosis, meiosis and protein synthesis are explored in some depth. Students then investigate the details of Mendelian genetics, inheritance, genomics and the tools and techniques of modern genetic engineering. Diversity and natural variation are investigated as a reflection of the theory of evolution and its mechanism of natural selection. Students learn about the way in which genes change and impact the survival and reproduction of wildlife populations over periods of time. Continuing on from Biology 112, the nervous, endocrine and reproductive systems are explored in detail, with particular attention given to their relationship to overall homeostasis. Throughout the course, the complexity and continuity of life is demonstrated through the molecular basis of heredity, adaptation and regulation.

Course Content: FSL Writing 110 explores the craft of writing, which focuses on the process as well as the final product. This course aims to provide FSL students with the opportunity to enhance their writing skills. The workshop approach is employed; students engage in writing conferences with the FSL Writing 110 instructor to work through stages of the writing process. Students choose their own writing topics, and their own writing resources to pre-write, draft, revise, edit, and proofread several kinds of writing: personal narrative (from which students create a digital story), descriptive, and persuasive. Students work in writing communities with their peers to exchange feedback and encourage progress. The course culminates with the compilation of a writing portfolio in which students showcase and reflect upon their progress during the semester.

They develop an understanding of angles in standard position () and solve problems for these angles using the three primary trigonometric ratios. Polynomial expressions are factored and absolute value functions and quadratic functions are analyzed and graphed. Students solve problems that involve quadratic equations and solve, algebraically and graphically, problems that involve systems of linear-quadratic and quadratic-quadratic equations in two variables. They also solve problems that involve linear and quadratic inequalities in two variables, and quadratic inequalities in one variable.
This course is a pre-requisite for Pre-Calculus 12A.
Course Code: MEPCB1201
Online Teacher: Cheryl Morehouse
Prerequisite(s): Pre-Calculus 110
Course Content: Pre-Calculus A 120 is the first of three grade 12 courses on the New Brunswick calculus high school math pathway, Pre-Calculus 110 is a prerequisite course. The course covers two strands: Relations and Functions, and Trigonometry. Students are expected to understand and apply the effects of translations, stretches, and reflections on the graphs of functions. Students work with the inverses of functions, radical functions, logarithms, and exponential functions. Learners increase their understanding of angles in standard position by expressing in both degrees and radians, and applying the equation of the unit circle. Student use of trigonometric ratios is expanded and learners will prove trigonometric identities.

Prerequisite (or Corequisite): Pre-Calculus A 120
Course Content: Pre-Calculus B 120 is the second of three grade 12 courses on the New Brunswick calculus high school math pathway, Pre-Calculus A 120 is a prerequisite or corequisite course. The course covers three strands: Relations and Functions; Permutations, Combinations and Binomial Theorem; and Limits. Students will analyze arithmetic and geometric sequences. Students are expected to graph and analyze polynomial functions, reciprocal functions, and rational functions. Learners will apply the fundamental counting principle, and expand powers of a binomial including through use of the binomial theorem. The limits of functions will be determined (graphically and analytically) and continuity analyzed by students. Opportunities also allow for exploration of one-sided limits and those that involve infinity.

Course Content:
World Issues 120 examines various current events that are global in nature and require global solutions. Various issues are examined to acknowledge that events in any part of the world have an impact globally. Students will explore world issues through the lenses of people—humanity; globalization, sustainability, and the UN's Global Goals; and geopolitics— political, environmental, social, and economic interactions. The majority of assessments are critical inquiry projects where students will select topics, outline issues, and generate solutions to the world’s biggest problems

Course Content:
Writing 110 explores the craft of writing, which focuses on the process as well as the final product. The workshop approach is employed; students engage in writing conferences with the Writing 110 instructor to work through stages of the writing process. Students choose their own writing topics, and their own writing resources to pre-write, draft, revise, edit, and proofread several kinds of writing: personal narrative, descriptive, editorial, public service announcement. The final module allows students to choose between creative writing (students will write either poetry, children’s literature, short story, or humour) and technical writing (students will write a technical procedure). Students work in writing communities with their peers to exchange feedback and encourage progress. The course culminates with the compilation of a writing portfolio in which students reflect upon their progress during the semester.
