C3.3: : write word equations and balanced chemical equations for simple chemical reactions (e.g., 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O)

C3.4: : describe the process of neutralization for simple acid–base reactions (i.e., an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and often water)

D: : Earth and Space Science: Earth’s Dynamic Climate

D1: : analyse effects of human activity on climate change, and effects of climate change on living things and natural systems;

D1.1: : analyse, on the basis of research, various ways in which living things and natural systems have been affected by climate change (e.g., the effect of loss of permafrost on northern roads and housing; the effect of longer growing seasons in some regions on farmers; the effect of warming oceans on coral reefs), and communicate their findings

D1.2: : analyse ways in which human actions (e.g., burning fossil fuels, implementing tree-planting programs) have increased or decreased the production of greenhouse gases

D2: : investigate various natural and human factors that have an impact on climate change and global warming;

D2.1: : use appropriate terminology related to Earth’s dynamic climate, including, but not limited to: anthropogenic, atmosphere, carbon footprint, carbon sink, climate, greenhouse gases, hydrosphere, and weather

D2.2: : investigate the principles of the natural greenhouse effect, using simulations, diagrams, and/or models, and compare these principles to those of an actual greenhouse

D2.4: : conduct an inquiry to determine how different factors (e.g., an increase in surface temperature, an increase in water temperature) affect global warming and climate change

D3: : demonstrate an understanding of various natural and human factors that contribute to climate change and global warming.

D3.2: : describe the natural greenhouse effect, its importance for life, and the difference between it and the anthropogenic greenhouse effect

D3.4: : identify different greenhouse gases (e.g., carbon dioxide, methane, water vapour, nitrous oxide), and explain how they are produced naturally in the environment

D3.5: : describe methods by which greenhouse gases are produced by humans (e.g., burning of biomass, chemical reactions involving pollutants)
