Fun with Chemistry
On-Site School Program
Curriculum Connections:
Strand A : STEM Investigation and Communication Skills
| A1.4 | follow established health and safety procedures during science and technology investigations, including wearing appropriate protective equipment and clothing and safely using tools, instruments, and materials |
|---|
Strand C : Matter and Energy
| C2.1 | describe matter as everything that has mass and occupies volume |
|---|---|
| C2.2 | identify the states of matter, and describe characteristics and properties of solids, liquids, and gases |
| C2.3 | describe changes of state of matter observed at home, in the community, or in the natural environment |
| C2.4 | describe physical changes in matter as changes of the state, volume, or form of the matter that do not result in the formation of a different substance |
| C2.5 | describe chemical changes in matter as changes that result in the formation of different substances, and identify signs that a chemical change has occurred |
| C2.6 | explain how changes of state can occur when matter absorbs or releases thermal energy |
| C2.7 | explain why specific physical properties of various solids, liquids, and gases make them useful for particular applications |

Sensory and Safety Considerations
Sensory considerations: This program features moderate to loud noises; The Presenter will warn students of upcoming loud noises during combustion.
Safety Considerations: Chemical materials are used in this program. The Ontario Science Centre will outline safety procedures at the beginning of the program and follow them closely. Under teacher supervision and by following the safety instructions, students may be invited to participate in certain demonstrations.
