View topicsGrade 12 university-preparation sciences (SBI4U, SCH4U and SPH4U in Ontario) are direct prerequisites for Canadian university programs in medicine, engineering and the sciences, and final grades feed straight into admission averages.
Biology covers biochemistry, metabolic processes, molecular genetics, homeostasis and population dynamics. Chemistry covers organic chemistry, thermodynamics, energy changes and rates, chemical systems and equilibrium, and electrochemistry. Physics covers dynamics, energy and momentum, gravitational, electric and magnetic fields, waves, light and modern physics.
