CH30-MS4
Determine the suitability of materials for use in specific applications.

DM, TPS

Indicators for this outcome
(a) Determine the properties of a material that make it suitable to meet the specifications for a particular product (e.g., catalysts and solvents for oil extraction and refining, metals in equipment for mining, bulletproof fabric, nanotechnologies, superconductors and instant adhesives). (STSE)
(b) Evaluate the risks and benefits to society and the environment of a product (real or imagined) throughout its life cycle, from raw materials to production, use and disposal. (STSE, A)
(c) Suggest a range of suitable applications for a material based on its chemical and physical properties. (STSE, K, A)
(d) Explore how First Nations and Métis people used their understanding of material properties to determine their use (e.g., different species of wood used for burning, smoking and creating structures for housing and transportation). (STSE, K)
(e) Research First Nations and Métis beliefs regarding the ethical treatment of Mother Earth with respect to the gathering, creating, using and disposing of materials. (STSE, K)
(f) Identify criteria (e.g., cost, availability, ethics, transportation cost and source of material) used to guide the choice of materials for a specific application. (STSE, A)
(g) Justify the use of the material chosen for a specific application based on student-selected criteria. (STSE, A)
(h) Investigate the potential of modern materials (e.g., graphene, aerogels, polymers and carbon nanotubes) to change the way we live. (STSE)
(i) Analyze how a product (e.g., sporting equipment, vehicle, clothing or building material) has evolved in response to the development of new materials. (STSE, A)

Chemistry. Matter and Change. Student Edition
The chapters in this textbook provide support for the Physical Science 20 Foundations of Chemistry outcomes and provide some support for the Heat outcomes, but do not provide support for Properties of Waves outcomes. The text supports all of the outcomes in the Chemistry 30 curriculum. Framed around big ideas and essential questions, each chapter is introduced by connecting chemistry to students' lives. The chapters offer many real-world examples of how chemistry is involved in everyday objects, natural phenomena or experiences, as well as provide web links, example problems, demonstration and lab activities, a review and a chapter assessment. The Careers in Chemistry sections throughout the textbook link the concepts studied to everyday careers. The textbook integrates appropriate graphic representations of scientific concepts and tables of relevant data. The textbook does not address First Nations and Métis content, perspectives or ways of knowing.
