A: : Scientific Investigation Skills and Career Exploration

A1: : demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in the four areas of skills (initiating and planning, performing and recording, analysing and interpreting, and communicating);

A1.1: : formulate relevant scientific questions about observed relationships, ideas, problems, or issues, make informed predictions, and/or formulate educated hypotheses to focus inquiries or research

A1.5: : conduct inquiries, controlling relevant variables, adapting or extending procedures as required, and using appropriate materials and equipment safely, accurately, and effectively, to collect observations and data

A1.6: : compile accurate data from laboratory and other sources, and organize and record the data, using appropriate formats, including tables, flow charts, graphs, and/or diagrams

A1.8: : synthesize, analyse, interpret, and evaluate qualitative and/or quantitative data to determine whether the evidence supports or refutes the initial prediction or hypothesis and whether it is consistent with scientific theory; identify sources of bias and/or error; and suggest improvements to the inquiry to reduce the likelihood of error

A1.10: : draw conclusions based on inquiry results and research findings, and justify their conclusions with reference to scientific knowledge

A1.13: : express the results of any calculations involving data accurately and precisely, to the appropriate number of decimal places or significant figures

B: : Hazards in the Workplace

B2: : investigate the nature of workplace hazards and various ways in which workers can protect themselves from these hazards;

B2.2: : plan and conduct an inquiry to determine what factors affect rates of chemical reactions (e.g., the concentration of an acid affects its rate of reaction with metals)

C: : Chemicals in Consumer Products

C2: : investigate chemical properties of, and chemical reactions used to produce, various consumer products;

C2.1: : use appropriate terminology relating to chemical reactions and chemical products, including, but not limited to: synthesis, decomposition, neutralization, polymerization, combustion, single and double displacement, pH, solvent, organic, inorganic, and dilution

C2.2: : use an inquiry process to determine how various conditions affect a chemical reaction, by altering the conditions under which a reaction occurs (e.g., temperature, length of time, amount of reactants, pH of a solution), observing the effects of the alterations, and comparing the outcome and final product of each reaction (e.g., make borax slime, then alter the proportion of the ingredients and measure the impact on properties of the product)

C2.3: : prepare dilutions using concentrated solutions, and observe or measure the changes in properties (e.g., pH, colour, viscosity, density)

C2.4: : safely conduct a chemical reaction in order to produce a common household or consumer product (e.g., taffy, shampoo, toothpaste, nylon, lip balm)

C2.5: : classify various household products on the pH scale, using pH paper, indicator solutions, and/or a pH meter

C3: : demonstrate an understanding of chemical reactions, and of properties of chemicals used in common household and workplace products.

C3.1: : describe the types of chemical reactions (e.g., synthesis, single displacement, double displacement, decomposition, combustion, polymerization, neutralization) and the signs of chemical change in each

C3.3: : explain the function of the pH scale and how pH test results are interpreted

D: : Disease and Its Prevention

D3: : demonstrate an understanding of the causes, symptoms, and modes of transmission of various diseases, and of strategies to prevent the spread of disease.

D3.5: : explain the differences between bacteria and viruses in terms of their size, structure, and reproduction, and the methods used to control their spread

E: : Electricity at Home and Work

E2: : investigate common electrical devices, including their energy transformations and consumption;

E2.1: : use appropriate terminology related to electricity, including, but not limited to: energy, power, kilowatt-hour, potential difference, current, conductor, short circuit, circuit breaker, fuse, and resistance

E2.2: : draw energy flow diagrams and/or write energy transformation equations that illustrate the energy transformation occurring in household devices, including the production of waste energy (e.g., energy transformations in a digital music player: electrical energy --> kinetic energy + sound energy + light + waste heat energy)

E2.4: : calculate the electrical energy consumption of two similar appliances (e.g., an old and a new refrigerator), using the power ratings that appear on the appliance, and compare the financial and environmental costs (e.g., carbon dioxide emissions) of running the two appliances

E3: : demonstrate an understanding of electrical circuits, common electrical devices, and safety procedures related to electric systems.

E3.1: : describe basic electric circuit components, including those that regulate the flow of electricity or are used as safety mechanisms (e.g., switches, bimetallic strips, resistors, ground fault interrupters [GFIs], surge protectors), and explain their layout in an electric circuit

E3.2: : describe forms of energy (e.g., electrical, mechanical, sound, light, thermal) and the energy transformations that occur in common electrical devices, including production of waste energy (e.g., heat)

F: : Nutritional Science

F3: : demonstrate an understanding of food components and their effects on the human body.

F3.1: : identify sources of the principal food nutrients (e.g., carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibre), with reference to Canada’s Food Guide, and describe the function of these nutrients in the body
