Welcome to my detailed review notes for Unit 1: Scientific Inquiry and Lab Skills from the Grade 9 SNC1W1 Science course in the Ontario curriculum. These notes were carefully created while I was preparing for exams, so they’re designed to be easy to study, clear to follow, and packed with key information. Here’s what to expect inside: What’s Included: Full coverage of Unit 1: All major lessons related to scientific inquiry, safety, the scientific method, variables, hypothesis and experimental design. Explanatory titles: Each lesson or concept is clearly labeled with a bolded heading so you know exactly what each section is about. Keywords highlighted: Important terms, definitions, and science vocabulary are highlighted for quick reference. Examples & explanations: Where needed, I included my own explanations and mini-examples to help make the concepts easier to understand.
