REGINA PUBLIC SCHOOLS Course Description English Language Arts A30 Chemistry 30 The Grade 12 English Language Arts A30 course is organized around themes that focus on Canadian literature and society. The themes are Canada - Diverse Landscapes and Peoples; A Vast and Varied Land, Nature and the Seasons, Regional Landscapes, Identity and Diversity, Personalities and Values; and Canada - Diverse Voices; Aboriginal Voices, Voices Through Time, Regional Voices, Multicultural Voices, Female and Male Voices, and Marginalized Voices. The course is resource-based and provides students with a range of experiences with language processes and literary selections. This course is often required for many areas of post-secondary study, especially for science majors in engineering and in health- related fields. The topics include a review of Chemistry 20, the structure of molecules, rates of chemical reactions, equilibrium, solubility, acids and bases and electrochemistry. English Language Arts B30 The Grade 12 English Language Arts B30 course is an issue-oriented course which is organized around the human concerns in a global (world) society. The course examines global perspectives using traditional and contemporary world literature in a comparative manner. The issues studied in this course are The Human Condition - In Search of Self: Identity and Sense of Self, Human Qualities and Ideals, Human Relationships, Joy and Fulfillment, Doubt and Fear; and the Social Experience - Beyond Personal Goals; Individual and Social Responsibility, Truth and Justice, Ambition, Power, and the Common Good, Social Criticism, and Causes and Crusades. The course is resource-based and provides students with a range of experiences with language processes and literary selections. Social Studies 30 The goal of Canadian Studies 30 is to help students understand the major issues facing Canadians at the beginning of the 21 st Century. With this in mind, the course emphasis is on Geography, Economics, History, Politics/Governance, Cultural Diversity and Canadian Identity. The course also examines the current state of these issues and alternative viewpoints for dealing with these issues in Canadian Society. Calculus 30 Calculus 30 is an elective course designed to not only prepare students for further mathematical studies, but also to provide a sense of integration and interrelatedness between prior mathematical and scientific learning while expanding the students’ understandings into new mathematical concepts. Some of the topics include: Limits, Differentiation, Curve Sketching, Applications, Transcendental Functions, Integration, and Area.   Physics 30 This course is required (or suggested) for many areas of post-secondary study and for some jobs. Topics include Kinematics and Dynamics (the study of motion and forces), Vector Skills, Mechanical Energy (work, energy and power), Electricity, and Nuclear Physics. Foundations of Mathematics 20 This pathway is designed to provide students with mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs. Topics include: Rate applications, scale diagrams, scale factors, perimeter area and volume, properties of angles and triangles, sine law and cosine law, inductive and deductive reasoning, normal distribution, systems of linear inequalities and quadratic functions. Foundations of Mathematics 30 This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and the critical thinking skills identified for entry into postsecondary programs in programs that do not require the study of calculus. Topics include: compound interest and financial decision making, cost analysis, interest rate, rate of return, total return, numerical and logical reasoning, simple set theory, conditional statements, probability and odds -based statements, fundamental counting principal, permutations, combinations, polynomial functions (degree < 3), logarithmic and exponential functions. Pre-Calculus 20 This pathway is designed to provide students with mathematical understanding and critical thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs (science and math related areas). Topics include: Absolute value of real numbers, operations on radicals, rational expressions, angles in standard positions, trigonometric ratios of angles, sine law and cosine law, factoring, absolute value functions, quadratic functions and equations, systems of linear functions, linear and quadratic inequalities, arithmetic and geometric sequence and series, reciprocal functions. Pre-Calculus 30 This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understanding and the critical thinking skills identified for entry into post secondary programs that require the study of calculus. (Science and math related areas). Topics include: degrees and radians, unit circle ,six trigonometric ratios (degrees and radians), trigonometric equations and identities, operations and composition of functions, transformations of graphs and equations, logarithms, factoring beyond degree 2, polynomial functions (degree < 5), radical functions, rational functions, fundamental counting principal, permutations, combinations, binomial theorem. Students must be a minimum of 17 years old. Students must have the necessary prerequisite course or be seeking an Adult Grade 12. To Register   Biology 30 This course continues the investigation of biological systems begun in Biology 20. It includes the study of organisms from the basis of cellular organization and biochemical functioning, animal physiology, growth and heredity of living things, and patterns of activity in behaviour and evolution.
