Program: Experiential Science 11 is a Yukon public school program of studies for grade 11 students. The program integrates Biology 11, Geography 12, Forests 11, Chemistry 11, Art 11, Field Methods 11. These courses are taught about a variety of current themes, typically current resource issues. The program features 30 to 35 days of field studies each semester and two days each week in Yukon College science labs. Field studies expose students to a wide variety of people associated with a range of resource management issues. Rigorous field methods, well kept data and sound scientific methodology are the foundation of the program. Students collect field data and analyze various aspects of study issues before developing strategies for addressing the topics. Students are excited and motivated by the range of challenging and often adventurous studies, the importance of their studies, and cooperative work relationships that develop during their semester in Experiential Science. They work on both class projects and individual or small group projects (many are listed in this web site).
