Unit 1 - MatterOutcomes1.1 Describe safety precautionsthat should be followed whenhandling, storing, and disposing ofsubstances at home and in thelaboratory.1.1.1 Identify hazardouschemicals used at home and atwork.1.1.2 Explain how WHMISand HHPS systems safelycommunicate information aboutsubstances.1.1.3 Recognize the potentialdangers of using chemicals.1.2 Classify various forms ofmatter based on their properties.1.2.1 Define matter.1.2.2 Describe the particletheory of matter.1.2.3 Apply the particle modelof matter to explain thephysical properties of thephases of matter.Notes for Teaching and LearningMany students will be familiar with the conceptscovered in this unit, especially if they have recentlycompleted IS2013, Matter, in Level II.. Therefore,these students should be able to move quickly throughthis unit with little difficulty.Instructors could have students do the Starting PointActivity, When Substances React, on page 5 todemonstrate how mixing chemicals may have unknownconsequences. Refer to the Teacher’s Resource forinformation about this activity.Students are introduced to WHMIS and HHPS in thisunit by completing the Assignment and the Computersections at the beginning of the Study Guide. Theyshould be aware of these and know what they are usedfor, but they do not need to memorize the symbols used.Students are directed to complete the Disc ConnectWHMIS applet as part of the assignment.Note: It is suggested that instructors have the CD-ROMinstalled on a server or on individual computers and thatthe computers the students will be using are connectedto a printer.Note: Blackline Masters (BLMs) and answers to allthe BLMs are found in the Teacher’s Resource.1.2.4 Differentiate betweenphysical and chemicalproperties of matter.1.2.5 Differentiate betweenmixtures and pure substances.Curriculum Guide Page 2Science 3101
Unit 1 - MatterSuggestions for AssessmentInstructors should review all the student answers to the questionsin the Study Guide for this unit. Their written work should beassigned a mark to be used as part of the final evaluation for thecourse. (Note: An overall mark of 10% is recommended for thewritten work from the Study Guide, excluding lab reports andassignments. An overall mark of 20% is recommended for thelabs and assignments.)The assignment (including the WHMIS Symbol Table and theCertificate of Completion printed out from the computersection) should be marked and the mark obtained should be usedas a portion of the final mark for the course. Students should notbe tested on the material covered in the assignment. BLMs 1-2,1-3, and 1-4 are included in the Appendix of the Study Guide andare needed for the assignment.Students will be introduced to many new terms throughout thiscourse. Instructors could suggest that students start a vocabularylist and add to it regularly as they work through the unit. Theglossary can be used to provide definitions.BLM 1-6 could be used as review and reinforcement of physicaland chemical properties.Investigation 1-B, Classifying Matter, and/or Investigation 1-C,Melting and Boiling Points, may be completed. The Teacher’sResource provides information for both these investigations.BLM 1-10 is a good review of how to measure volume, mass,and temperature.Students may be assigned additional questions from the CheckYour Understanding at the end of each section of the text or fromthe Review at the end of the chapter.Resourcesscience.connect1,Chapter 1, pages 4 - 19.science.connect1, CD-ROM.science.connect1Teacher’s Resource, UnitA.science.connect1 website:http://www.mcgrawhill.ca/school/booksites/science.connect+1/BLM 1-2, Safety SymbolInventory.BLM 1-3, SampleWHMIS Label.BLM 1-4, Sample MSDS.BLM 1-6, Chemical andPhysical Properties.BLM 1-10, Measuring.BLM 1-14, Classificationof Matter Crossword.BLM 1-14 can be used for review and reinforcement.Curriculum Guide Page 3Science 3101
