Science Courses for Students

Isha Goyal

Hi! I’m Isha Goyal, a grade 9 student at the Renert School. I have a strong interest in biology, particularly genetics, which I exercise through my participation and excellence in the CYSF, CWSF and iGEM.

I find human systems fascinating, and enjoy understanding the ways our bodies interact as a whole and with foreign materials. The nature of biological information, evolution which brought diversity to our planet, self-organization of biological systems and engineering of “living machines” are what make science such a wonder for me, and I hope to explore this field with you! The way matter interacts and changes is fundamental to human existence- something that I will share in my Grade 8 “Mix and Flow of Matter” class. Did you know that Earth wouldn’t be able to sustain life if ice didn’t float on water? That’s how significant chemistry is! Aside from the sciences, I also enjoy math, scoring high percentiles in various competitions, such as the Gauss, Pascal and Math Kangaroo- I also plan on writing my Math-30 diploma this year! I am also a trivia fan, competing in Canada’s team trivia competition, “Reach for the Top,” where my team scored second in the nation. In my classes, I hope to interact with students as we learn about 2 crucial science fields in a comprehensive and enjoyable way! Hope to see you there!
