BC grade 10 IRP Science 2

These are "prescribed learning outcomes" for BCs integrated science 10 course.


It is expected that students will: 

• relate organelles to their function within 

the cell 

• distinguish between cells based on their 

different structures and functions 

• describe factors that limit cell size 

• compare the changes that occur during 

the stages of a cell’s development 

• describe the ways in which viruses and 

bacteria can affect cell functioning 

• assess the factors that can affect fetal 

development 

• compare and contrast asexual and sexual 

reproductionfunction and their interrelationships as the basis of 

living things. They compare and contrast asexual and 

sexual reproduction. Microscope work and other 

activities are used to increase students’ understanding. 

• Have students make three-dimensional models 

of plant or animal cells that include appropriate 

structures and organelles (e.g., nucleus, 

mitochondria, chloroplasts, cell wall, vacuole, 

cell membrane). 

• To understand the limits to cell size, have students 

calculate surface-to-volume ratios for different sizes 

of cubes. Cardboard boxes may be used as models. 

• Have students examine cells and cell life stages
