ON – Science, Grade 10 Applied
Summary
This alignment guide connects Switch Classroom resources to Ontario Grade 10 Applied Science, helping teachers address climate, chemical reactions, energy sources, and energy use through practical, accessible lesson materials.
Students explore chemical reactions in energy systems through Science of Energy Storage, Introduction to Biofuels, Science of Biofuels, and Science of Oil, while climate and greenhouse gas lessons are supported by Introduction to Energy Choices, Introduction to Environmental Impacts, Science of Coal, and Science of Natural Gas. The guide also includes applied household and workplace-focused activities such as the Home Electricity Audit and Family Energy Awareness Challenge, which make it especially useful for classrooms that connect science concepts to everyday energy use and conservation.
