Course Description
The program aims to provide Grade 10 students with a strong academic foundation in the three core scientific disciplines—Biology, Chemistry, and Physics—enabling them to develop independent research skills, advanced academic analysis, and the ability to apply science in complex real-world contexts.
The program is designed to prepare students for future career pathways while meeting the requirements of international standardized examinations or university pathway programs (Advanced Placement, A-Levels, IB, etc.). Each discipline in Grade 10 is not merely a subject of study, but the first step in the journey toward becoming a researcher, engineer, doctor, or scientist of the future.

🔹 Learning Methodology
In Grade 10, students approach science as true researchers—learning to understand, analyze, apply, and orient toward the future. Each discipline follows its own learning pathway, combining advanced theory, laboratory work, and academic thinking.
-
Disciplinary Scientific Thinking
Students think within the framework of each discipline: analyzing reactions as a chemist, explaining living systems as a biologist, or modeling motion as a physicist. -
Advanced Laboratory and Simulation
Conduct advanced experiments and simulate physical, chemical, and biological phenomena using specialized software. Students are assessed on both their experimental process and their scientific documentation. -
Data Analysis and Graphical Interpretation
Develop skills in processing data, creating tables and graphs, and interpreting trends, errors, and correlations—core competencies for advanced STEM study and scientific research. -
Scientific Writing & Research Report
Practice academic essay writing, proper citation, and research reporting in international formats (APA, MLA, etc.). Students learn to analyze scientific literature and present knowledge in an academic manner. -
Problem-Solving and Conceptual Application
From quantitative problems to real-world challenges such as “how to optimize a reaction for clean energy production,” students are guided to apply theory to analyze, explain, and propose solutions. -
Career Exploration and Future Pathways
Each unit connects to potential career fields—biomedical science, pharmaceuticals, engineering, environmental science, applied physics—helping students envision their futures and choose the right academic path.
