| (a) |
Demonstrate knowledge of Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) standards by identifying WHMIS symbols that represent each category, examples of substances that belong within each category, and the risks and cautions associated with each category. |
| (b) |
Explore local knowledge of properties of matter and traditional uses of substances, including medicines. |
| (c) |
Share personal understandings about physical and chemical properties of matter. |
| (d) |
Investigate common materials and describe them in terms of their physical properties such as smell, colour, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, ductility, crystal shape, conductivity, hardness, lustre, texture, and malleability. |
| (e) |
Classify substances found in household, commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications based on their physical and/or chemical properties. |
| (f) |
Provide examples of how society’s needs for new products can lead to scientific research and technological developments based on understanding of physical and chemical properties of matter. |
| (g) |
Investigate changes in the properties of materials and identify those that are indicators of chemical changes (e.g., change in colour, change in odour, formation of a gas or precipitate, or the release or absorption of thermal energy). |
| (h) |
Use equipment, tools, and materials appropriately and safely when conducting investigations into physical and chemical properties of substances. |
| (i) |
State a conclusion, based on experimental data, which supports or refutes an initial idea related to personal understanding of physical and chemical properties of matter. |
| (j) |
Differentiate between physical and chemical properties of matter and physical and chemical changes in matter, based on observable evidence. |
| (k) |
Provide examples to illustrate that scientific and technological activity related to chemistry takes place in a variety of individual and group settings within Saskatchewan. |
