Describe how everyday life depends upon technological products and processes that produce useful materials and energy
I CAN identify common chemical materials and their uses
I CAN describe how everyday life has changed over the past 100 years with the development of these materials.(e.g., acids, bases, alloys, plastics, ceramics, fibres, composites)
I CAN identify examples of chemical changes involved in cooking, cleaning, personal care and gardening (e.g., acids in vinegar, citrus fruits and rhubarb react with aluminum kitchen utensils; bases in drain cleaners react with grease; emulsifiers and softeners are ingredients in skin creams; pesticides interfere with metabolic processes in living systems)
All around our homes we have many products that involve a chemical process to develop or create.
Some examples:
plastics
batteries
pots and pans coated in non-stick material
clothes of natural and synthetic fibres.
As Science has progressed so have the materials that we use every day.
In this chapter, we will look at the changes that have taken place over the past 100 years because of Chemistry.

Think of 3 products/materials/items you use daily. How would your life change without it?
With a partner, share your thoughts.
Narrow the list to 2 items.
Share your whittled down list with another group.
Narrow the 4 items down to two.
Repeat the cycle until we have 2 large groups.
Before joining the large group, each group will select 1 to share with the other group.
By the end, we should have 2 items (1 for each group) that we feel would change our life without.
Each group will go to opposites sides of the classroom.
Share your items with the whole group
After hearing both items, each group will need to play "devils advocate" as to why they believe the other groups items would not change their life without it. Each group is given 2 minutes to come up with a rebuttal.
Pay attention during this video. We are going to play Jeopardy - 15 Accidental Inventions You Can't Imagine Life without after we finish the video.
