Serious Science
On-Site School Program
Curriculum Connections:
Strand E : Earth and Space Science
| E2.1 | use particle theory to explain how heat affects the motion of particles in a solid, a liquid, and a gas |
|---|---|
| E2.2 | demonstrate an understanding of various ways in which heat is generated |
| E2.3 | use particle theory to explain the effects of heat on volume in solids, liquids, and gases, including during changes of states of matter |
| E2.4 | explain how heat is transmitted through conduction, and describe natural processes that are affected by conduction |
| E2.5 | explain how heat is transmitted in liquids and gases through convection, and describe natural processes that depend on convection |
Strand C : Matter and Energy
| C2.2 | demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between mass, volume, and density |
|---|---|
| C2.3 | explain the difference between solids, liquids, and gases in terms of their density, using the particle theory of matter |
| C2.4 | explain the difference between liquids and gases in terms of their compressibility and how their compressibility affects their technological applications |
| C2.5 | determine the buoyancy of an object, given its density, in a variety of fluids |
| C2.6 | explain in qualitative terms the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature when a liquid or a gas is compressed or heated |
| C2.7 | describe how forces are transferred in all directions in fluids, including using Pascal’s law to quantify the transfer of forces in fluids |
