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.

Understanding Electricity
This video program consists of four segments. Part 1, Tune in to TV, looks at the history of television and how images travel from the camera to the screen. Part 2, Generating Electricity, focuses on the generation and transmission of electricity from power plants to cities and homes. Some of the dangers of electricity are also addressed. In Part 3, Bright Lights, Big Benefits, viewers visit Las Vegas as they consider some of the uses of electricity. They also learn about the role of electricity in improving the lives of heart patients and amputees. Part 4, Energy from the Earth, presents a brief description of electric generators and discusses how geothermal energy may be used to generate electricity.

Transformed. How Everyday Things are Made
Slavin shows the process of how objects are changed from raw materials to the finished products. He uses common items that students are familiar with, such as baseballs. Each two-page spread describes how the object is made by breaking the process down into steps. Illustrations complement the text and show the technology behind the science. Slavin demonstrates the connection between science and technology in making objects. The book includes a table of contents, a glossary, suggestions for further research and an index.

Blue Sky Dreaming
What does carbon neutrality really mean? This episode of Earth Report highlights four countries and many corporations that are pledging to go carbon neutral.
One such country is New Zealand which plans to be the first country to create a completely carbon neutral economy. Their 2020 target includes ambitious plans to radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing renewable power generation and switching to sustainable transport like electric cars.
