Frequently asked questions
Which Grade 9 science units are hardest?
Many students find the chemistry unit and circuit calculations hardest, because they are the first real use of models and formulas in science.
Does Grade 9 science matter for later courses?
Yes. It introduces the ideas every Grade 10 science unit builds on, and it is a compulsory credit.
