Physical Sciences
SC23.8.2 Develop and manipulate models to explain changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added to or removed from a system.
Lessons: Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move (Why do bike tires go soft in winter?, Why does food colouring spread faster in hot water?, How does a thermometer know?) (partly)
SC23.8.6 Observe and analyze data regarding characteristic properties of substances before and after they are combined to determine whether a chemical reaction has occurred.
Lessons: Kitchen Chemistry (Is it a new substance?, Can red cabbage tell acid from base?)
Practice: Kitchen Chemistry workbook
SC23.8.8a Use a model to verify that atoms of reactants are conserved as products in a chemical reaction.
Lessons: Kitchen Chemistry (Where does the mass go?)
Practice: Kitchen Chemistry workbook
SC23.8.11a Use mathematical representations to explain how the sum of external forces on an object and the object’s mass affect its acceleration.
Lessons: Forces and Motion: Crash, Push and Stop (Why do you lurch forward when a bus stops?, Why does a heavier cart hit harder?)
SC23.8.13 Analyze graphical displays of data to describe the relationship of mass and velocity of an object to its kinetic energy (KE).
Lessons: Forces and Motion: Crash, Push and Stop (How fast is a toy car really going?, Why does a heavier cart hit harder?) (partly)
