MaST News

Course Selection for Students

E-mail Print PDF

For students that are currently in Grade 9 MaST, you must sign up for the following courses for Grade 10:

Grade 10 MaST Math:  MPM 2DP

Grade 10 MaST English:  ENG 2DP

Grade 11 MaST Biology:  SBI 3UP

Grade 10 MaST History:  CHC 2DP

Note that if you check the program information on this website, CHC 2DP will not be listed.  That is true only for incoming students to the program next year, not students currently in the program and is a result of changes made to programs at the TDSB level.  Current Grade 9 students must sign up for CHC 2DP.


Many Grade 9 MaST students take civics and careeers online during the summer after Grade 9 either during July or August(sign up later in the spring) so that they can take 4 electives in Grade 10 rather than 3 but may elect to take civics and careers during the year if they choose.

 

For students that are currently in Grade 10 MaST, you must sign up for the following courses for Grade 11:

Grade 11 MaST Chemistry:  SCH 3UP

Grade 11 MaST Physics:  SPH 3UP

Grade 11 MaST Functions:  MCR 3UP

 

 

Fun with Molecules

Below is a picture of Max Finch, a grade 12 biology student, and a molecule that he and some fellow classmates built. If Max is looking tired, perhaps it was the 'energy' he required to build the complex molecule that is ATP.

E-mail Print PDF

The award ceremony for the York University High School Biophysics contest was held on Friday June 15th at the Life Science Building at York. Danforth knew going in that we had some students in the top 5, but what we didn't know was that we took first and second place along with an honorable mention. Pictured below are Abiali B. (first place) and Ajwad K. (second place) with their certificates. Missing are Maya T. (second place with Ajwad) and Saskia R-S. and Annie D. (honorable mention).

Abiali and Ajwad award

After the award ceremony the students got a tour of some of the facilities at York including the observatory and the antimatter lab. Pictured below are Ajwad and Abiali in the lab.

Danforth is now 2 for 2 in this competition and we are looking forward to the next installment in two years time (unfortunately York does not have enough funds to run the competition annually).  Well done!
