Unit A: Investigating Properties of Matter
Outcomes:
1. Classify various forms of matter, including commonly used household substances, on the basis of their properties, and relate these properties to their safe use, storage/disposal.
2. Describe solutions and solubility, solutes and solvents; and then describe how these concepts are applied to the production of prepared foods and other useful materials.
3. Describe the properties of elements and compounds, and use the periodic table to identify trends in properties.
Key Concepts
- Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and safe practice
- International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) nomenclature, ionic and
molecular compounds, acids and bases
- The Periodic Table
- Role and need for classification of chemical change
- Writing and balancing equations

Unit B: Understanding Energy Transfer Technologies
Outcomes:
1. Describe how natural and technological cooling and heating systems are based upon the transfer of thermal energy (heat) from hot to cold objects.
2. Explain the functioning of common methods and devices designed to control the transfer of thermal energy.
3. Describe and compare simple machines as devices that transfer energy and multiply forces or distances.
Key Concepts
- Particle model of matter, temperature, thermalenergy and heat
- Specific heat capacity
- Energy transfer (work), force and distance
- Simple machines as force or distance multipliers that transfer energy
- Reducing reliance on nonrenewable energy sources

Unit C: Investigating Matter and Energy in Living Systems
Outcomes:
1. Describe, in general terms, the exchange of matter by the digestive and circulatory systems, the functional relationship between the two systems and the need for a healthy diet and lifestyle.
2. Describe disorders of the digestive and circulatory systems as imbalances induced by genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors.
3. Describe, in general terms, the structure and function of plant and animal cell parts; and trace the development of the cell theory.
4. Identify and compare, in general terms, the life functions common to living systems, from cells to organ systems.
Key Concepts
- Structures/functions of, and relationship between, the digestive and circulatory systems
- Microscopy, structure and function of plant and animal cell parts, and the cell theory
- Social influences on human dietary-induced disorders and circulatory diseases
- Photosynthesis and respiration
- Functions of cells in organs and organ systems

Key Concepts
- Role of living organisms in cycling matter
- Food chains, food webs and energy pyramids
- Biodegradable materials
- Biotic and abiotic factors and ecosystems
