AE9.1
Distinguish between physical and chemical properties of common substances, including those found in household, commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications.
Indicators for this outcome
(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.

Pearson Saskatchewan Science 9. Student Text
Pearson Saskatchewan Science 9 is custom published for Saskatchewan and developed by a team of Saskatchewan teachers. At the beginning of each unit, the "Big Ideas" box 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 book. First Nations and Métis content, perspectives, and ways of knowing are an integral part of the Saskatchewan science textbook. Highlights of the activities and achievements of Saskatchewan men and women are provided in the "Ask an Elder," "Ask an Expert," and "Careers and Profiles" features. In each unit, the "Ask an Elder" 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.

The Elements. A Very Short Introduction
This book explores the historical and cultural impact of the elements on humankind. Rather than outlining the different types of atoms making up each element and their properties and characteristics, the author uses narrative text to bring to light our cultural interactions with the nature and composition of matter. Teachers may find this resource to be a useful source of background information about the role of the elements in history and the relationship among science, technology, society and the environment (STSE).

The Periodic Table
Starting with an overview of the periodic table and its historical development, this program includes the origin of the symbols and the definitions of atomic number and mass. The program examines the existence of different groups within the table and why they occur. Students will look at typical elements from each group and how an element's atomic structure dictates its physical and chemical properties. The final section investigates the radioactive elements.

Ptable: Dynamic Periodic Table
This interactive website contains a wealth of information about the periodic table, incorporating a range of searches and datasets. Users may search for isotopes and possible compounds, plus see in-depth information on each element through a direct link to Wikipedia. The visible periodic table may also be reformatted to display more or less specific information, depending on the user's preference.
