The Science department is always an exciting place to be with Grade 9 students making rockets and Grade 10 students making various optical devices such as overhead projectors and microscopes! Our senior Physics students made egg drops and use marble launchers to study kinematics. Our Chemistry students are always busy making colourful chemicals such as slime and constantly observing exciting chemical reactions. And let's not forget about Biology! Our Biology students dissect a variety of organisms and analyze data collected from ponds and various ecosystems and constantly making scientific hypothesis. We are always looking forward to taking you on this fabulous learning journey with us!  

Preparation for the annual academic competitions usually begin late February each year. Students in Physics will have an opportunity to test their skills in the University of Toronto Leonardo da Vinci and the University of Waterloo Sir Isaac Newton contests at the Grade 12 level and the Physics Teachers Association of Ontario competition at the Grade 11 level. Senior biology students will compete in the University of Toronto National Biology contest. The chemistry challenges are offered by the University of Waterloo’s Avogadro competition in Grade 11 and Chem-13 News contest in Grade 12. Please see your subject teacher if you would like to find out more about these competitions.


The York Region Science Olympics is usually held in second semester as well. Over the years, the AMHS Science Olympics teams have brought back wonderful prizes and have successfully accomplished challenging tasks. Students can enroll in the Science Club to practice and take part of this exciting opportunity. ​
