Comment by Donald Lacy on June 21, 2010 at 2:37am: Personally, I wouldn't add anything (even though I am still in mourning over the loss of genetics). If I could only cut three things, right now it would be: - completely remove classification of the types of reactions (still do balancing, but save classification of types for chem 11), I would cut out the N and P cycles (and leave in the C cycle) and I'd cut all the weather stuff (leave that for Geography 12) but keep in Climate and Climate Change. As I prepare students for the exam, I wish that the Grade 10 IRP had been as strong as the 8 and 9. And about 1/3 shorter. Wonder if anybody else is wondering if they would like to change anything? Cheers, Don.

Comment by Donald Lacy on June 21, 2010 at 2:29am: Fights of Fancy - what if you could change any three parts of the BC Science 10 IRP? What would you add, cut, or change?

Comment by Sheryl Beaudoin on June 2, 2010 at 6:27pm: Hi. Can some one please tell me if the Science 10 provincial exam is done online now? And do I have to mark any of it? I couldn't find the info on the website.... Thanks!
