Science 7 | Saskatchewan Curriculum

(a)	Provide examples of solid, liquid, and gaseous solutions and identify which substance is the solute and which is the solvent in each solution.
(b)	Describe the characteristics of solutions using the terms solute, solvent, soluble, and insoluble, based on the particle model of matter.
(c)	Create and describe the concentration of student-prepared dilute, concentrated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions using those qualitative terms and quantitative measurements (e.g., parts per million [ppm], g/L, and g/100 mL).
(d)	Value accuracy, precision, and honesty when collecting and reporting data related to concentrations of solutions.
(e)	Investigate the factors that determine how quickly a solute dissolves in a solvent.
(f)	Gather and interpret information from various resources (e.g., nutrition labels on foods, newspaper or magazine articles) related to solutions and concentrations of solutions.
(g)	Design and implement an experiment to investigate the effect of temperature on the solubility of a solution.
(h)	Predict the solubility of a solute by interpolating or extrapolating from student-generated solubility curves.
(i)	Analyze the effects of technological inventions or processes related to solutions (e.g., water softeners, water treatment plants, solution mining, agricultural sprays, insecticides, bleaches, and drain cleaners) on self, community, and the environment.
(j)	Research how various science disciplines and engineering fields study and apply scientific knowledge related to solutions.

The Changing Phases of Matter

In this video, students will examine how a substance, such as water, exists in different phases. The examples provided in the video illustrate how phase changes occur. Student will learn about states of matter, particles, solid, liquid, gas, plasma, melting, freezing, vaporization, boiling, evaporation, condensation and sublimation.

Pearson Saskatchewan Science 7. Student Text

Saskatchewan Science 7 is custom published for Saskatchewan and developed by a team of Saskatchewan teachers. Each unit starts with a list of Big Ideas that sets the focus for the unit. A Big Idea then provides the title for each section in the unit. Throughout the unit, opportunities are provided for students to work together, communicate ideas, perform experiments and carry out library and Internet research. Key vocabulary is bolded throughout the unit and an explanation of each term is provided. All key terms and explanations are also listed in a glossary at the back of the text. First Nations and Métis content, perspectives and ways of knowing are an integral part of the Saskatchewan science text. Highlights of the activities and achievements of Saskatchewan men and women are provided in the "Ask ..." feature. In each unit, the "Ask ..." feature provides access to the wisdom of a First Nations or Métis Elder or Traditional Knowledge Keeper, who shares an oral story related to the content of that unit.
