1. investigate aqueous solutions to determine conductivity and to calculate concentration
2. explain oxidation, reduction and spontaneity and apply this knowledge to voltaic and electrolytic cells and to industrial processes
3. describe the properties of simple hydrocarbons and describe hydrocarbon-based industrial processes that are important in Alberta.
Demonstration of a Voltaic Cell
Properties of Materials
General Outcome 2: Students will explain oxidation, reduction and spontaneity and apply this knowledge to voltaic and electrolytic cells and to industrial processes.
General Outcome 3: Students will will describe the properties of simple hydrocarbons and describe hydrocarbon-based industrial processes that are important in Alberta.
From Petroleum to Gasoline
Changes in Motion
General Outcome 1: Students will describe one-dimensional motion of objects in terms of displacement, time, velocity and acceleration .
General Outcome 2: Students will describe and analyze the law of conservation of momentum for one-dimensional collisions and change in momentum (impulse) to explain how force affects motion.
The Changing Earth
General Outcome 1: Students will analyze the scientific evidence and explanations for geologic phenomena that occurred long ago or are taking place over a long period of time.
General Outcome 3: Students will will analyze and assess the evidence provided by the fossil record of change in the environment and life forms over a period of 3.5 billion years.
General Outcome 4: Students will analyze the evidence of, and assess the explanations for, natural variations in Earth’s climate over the last two million years.
General Outcome 1: Students will analyze ecosystems and ecological succession in the local area and describe the relationships and interactions among subsystems and components.
Field Study Recording Form and Pre-lab Questions
General Outcome 2: Students will analyze and investigate the cycling of matter and the flow of energy through the biosphere and ecosystems as well as the interrelationship of society and the environment.
General Outcome 3: Students will analyze and describe the adaptation of organisms to their environments, factors limiting natural populations, and evolutionary change in an ecological context.
