& Learning Targets
Evaluate the implications of scientific developments and their applications to a specific problem or issues in local or
global contexts.
LT 1 Explain the ways in which science is applied and used to address a specific problem or issue.
LT 2 Discuss the effectiveness of science and its application in solving the problem or issue.
LT 3 Discuss and Evaluate the various (moral, ethical, social, economic, political, cultural and environmental)
implications of the use of science and its application in solving a specific problem or issue.
PS 2
Effectively communicate scientific ideas, theories, findings and arguments in science using different communication
modes, including verbal (oral, written) and visual (graphic, symbolic), and appropriate formats (laboratory reports,
essays, and multimedia presentations).
LT 1 Use scientific language correctly.
LT 2 Use appropriate communication modes and formats.
LT 3 Acknowledge the work of others and the sources of information used by appropriately documenting them using a
recognized referencing system.
PS 3
Apply scientific knowledge to construct scientific explanations, solve problems, and formulate scientifically supported
arguments.
LT 1 Recall scientific knowledge and use scientific understanding to construct scientific explanations.
LT 2 Apply scientific knowledge and understanding to solve problems set in familiar and unfamiliar situations.
LT 3 Critically analyze and evaluate information to make judgments supported by scientific understanding.
PS 4
Design and carry out scientific investigations independently.
LT 1 State a focused problem or research question to be tested by a scientific investigation.
LT 2 Formulate a testable hypothesis and explain it using scientific reasoning.
LT 3 Design and carry out scientific investigations that include variables and controls, material and/or equipment
needed, a method to be followed, and the way in which the data is to be collected and processed.
PS 5
Develop analytical thinking skills to evaluate the method and explain possible improvements.
LT 1 Evaluate the validity and reliability of the method.
LT 2 Judge the validity of the hypothesis (accept/reject) based on the outcome of the investigation.
LT 3 Suggest improvements to the method or further inquiry, when relevant.
PS 6
Organize, process, and interpret quantitative and qualitative data.
LT 1 Collect and Record data using units of measurement as and when appropriate.
LT 2 Organize, transform and Present data using numerical and visual forms.
LT 3 Analyze and Interpret the data.
LT 4 Draw conclusions consistent with the data and supported by scientific reasoning.
PS 7
Develop safe, responsible and collaborative working practices when carrying out experimental work in science.
LT 1 Work safely and use materials and equipment competently.
LT 2 Work responsibly with regards to the living and non-living environment.
LT 3 Work effectively as individuals and as part of a group by collaborating with others.
PS 8
Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, electrons are negative in
charge, and neutrons have no net charge. Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons. The number of
neutrons in the nucleus of an atom determines the isotope of the element. The properties of materials are determined by
the arrangement and properties of the atoms that compose them.

LT 1 Draw, label and describe the relative charge, mass, and location of the protons, electrons and neutrons in an atom
of an element (e.g., Bohr Model, electron configuration, energy levels).
LT 2 Predict the chemical properties of atoms with known number and arrangement of electrons (valence electrons).
LT 3 Draw and label a model of an isotope's atomic structure (number of protons, neutrons and electrons) given the
atomic number and atomic mass number of the isotope.
PS 9
When elements are listed in order according to the number of protons, repeating patterns of physical and chemical
properties identify families of elements with similar properties. This Periodic Table is a consequence of the repeating
pattern of outermost electrons.
LT 1 Predict the properties of elements in the periodic table, based on their position in a group and period.
LT 2 Predict periodic table trends (e.g., electronegativity, reactivity, electron affinity, atomic radius, ionic radius).
PS 10
Ions are produced when atoms or molecules lose or gain electrons, thereby gaining a positive or negative electrical
charge. Molecular compounds are composed of two or more elements bonded together in a fixed proportion by sharing
electrons between atoms, forming covalent bonds.
LT 1 Explain how ions and ionic bonds are formed.
LT2
Diagram covalently bonded molecules (e.g., Lewis dot structures, dot and cross, structural formulas).
LT 3 Distinguish among ionic, molecular, and metallic substances, given their properties.
LT 4 Predict the chemical formula of ionic and covalent compounds based on proportions of ions and atoms.
PS 11
Chemical Reactions change the arrangement of atoms in the molecules of substances. Chemical reactions release or
acquire energy from their surroundings and result in the formation of new substances.
LT 1 Name and describe 5 types of chemical reactions.
LT 2 Write a balanced chemical equation.
LT 3 Predict the products of the five general types of reactions.
PS 12
Solutions are mixtures in which particles of one substance are evenly distributed through another substance. Liquids are
limited in the amount of dissolved solid or gas that they can contain. Aqueous solutions can be described by relative
quantities of the dissolved substances and acidity or alkalinity (pH).
LT 1 Provide examples of common solutions.
LT 2 Compare and contrast the differences in the following processes: dissolving, melting, and reacting.
LT 3 Predict how the pH of a solution is influenced by the addition of hydrogen and or hydroxide ions in an aqueous
solution.
LT 4 Predict how the concentration of a solution is influenced by the addition of a substance.
PS 13
Use the mole in describing chemical quantities by count, mass and volume.
LT 1 Define Avogadro’s number as it relates to a mole of a substance.
LT 2 Describe how to convert the mass of a substance to the number of moles of a substance, and moles to mass.
LT 3 Identify the volume of a quantity of gas at STP.
PS 14
Use stoichiometry to predict quantities in chemical reactions.
LT 1 Use a balanced equation to predict the quantities of reactants and products that are required or produced in a
chemical reaction.
LT 2 Identify the limiting reagent and determine the theoretical yield of a reaction.
LT 3 Calculate the percent yield.
PS 15
Apply the kinetic molecular theory to states of matter.
LT 1 Compare and contrast the arrangement, movement, and energy in solids, liquids and gases.
LT 2 Describe the relationships among the temperature, pressure and volume of a gas.
LT 3 Use the combined gas law and ideal gas law to solve problems.
