Official MEQ Curriculum		Lab Safety

Official MEQ Program

In this program, students become familiar with natural and technological phenomena through learning situations that they themselves propose or that are suggested by the teacher. This course was primarily designed to be integrated into learning situations developed for the other Secondary IV and V science programs.

TMS 532 helps students to :

• learn how to make better use of tools and methods useful for scientific work
• learn how to make better use of instruments and materials that help scientists and technologists do their work
• learn about the concept of a model
• learn about the nature of science itself

The students should construct this learning content and develop their skills and attitudes through learning situations in which they can investigate their environment by means of the scientific method and examine the relationships between science, technology and society.
