Overall Curriculum Expectations
A. Identify and describe careers related to the fields of science under study, and describe the contributions of scientists, including Canadians, to those fields.
A2.1 Identify and describe a variety of careers related to the fields of science under study (e.g. laser optics researcher, geoscientist, photonics researcher, aerospace engineer) and the education and training necessary for these careers.
B1. Analyse technological devices that apply the principles of the dynamics of motion, and assess the technologies' social and environmental impact;
B1.1 Analyze a technological device that applies the principles of linear or circular motion (e.g., a slingshot, a rocket launcher, a race car, a trebuchet).
B1.2 Assess the impact on society and the environment of technological devices that use linear or circular motion (e.g., projectile weapons, centrifuges, elevators).
C1. Analyse, and propose ways to improve, technologies or procedures that apply principles related to energy and momentum, and assess the social and environmental impact of these technologies or procedures.
C1.1 Analyze, with reference to the principles of energy and momentum, and propose practical ways to improve, a technology or procedure that applies these principles (e.g., fireworks, rocket propulsion, protective equipment, forensic analysis of vehicle crashes, demolition of buildings).
C1.2 Assess the impact on society and the environment of technologies or procedures that apply the principles of energy and momentum (e.g., crumple zones, safety restraints, strategic building implosion).
D1. Analyse the operation of technologies that use gravitational, electric, or magnetic fields, and assess the technologies' social and environmental impact.
D1.1 Analyze the operation of a technological sys- tem that uses gravitational, electric, or magnetic fields (e.g., a home entertainment system, a computer, magnetic strips on credit cards).
D1.2 Assess the impact on society and the environ- ment of technologies that use gravitational, electric, or magnetic fields (e.g., satellites used in surveillance or storm tracking, particle accelerators that provide high-energy particles for medical imaging).
E1. Analyse technologies that use the wave nature of light, and assess their impact on society and the environment.
E1.1 Analyze, with reference to the principles related to the wave nature of light, a technology that uses these principles (e.g., Xeon lights, spectroscopes, polarized sunglasses).
E1.2 Assess the impact on society and the environ- ment of technologies that use the wave nature of light (e.g., DVDs, polarized lenses, night vision goggles, wireless networks).
F1. Analyse, with reference to quantum mechanics and relativity, how the introduction of conceptual models and theories can influence and/or change scientific thought and lead to the development of new technologies
F1.1 Analyze the development of the two major revolutions in modern physics (e.g., the impact of the discovery of the photoelectric effect on the development of quantum mechanics; the impact of thought experiments on the development of the theory of relativity), and assess how they changed scientific thought.
F1.2 Assess the importance of relativity and quantum mechanics to the development of various technologies (e.g., nuclear power; light sensors; diagnostic tools such as magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], computerized axial tomography [CAT], positron emission tomography [PET]).
