Teaching resource aligned to the Alberta Program of Studies
Same slide decks for the classroom and for students at home — with teacher talk tracks and student explaining notes on every slide. Units A–D are teachable. Curriculum alignment uses Alberta Education Science 10 (2005, Updated 2014). This is not a government product.
Four units (A–D)
- Unit ATeachable
Energy and Matter in Chemical Change
Chemical changes involve energy and transformations of matter. Students explore molecular and ionic compounds, acids and bases, classification, nomenclature, balanced equations, conservation of mass, and the mole concept.
- Unit BTeachable
Energy Flow in Technological Systems
The first and second laws (conservation and conversion) of thermodynamics have been useful in the development of modern and efficient energy conversion devices. Students investigating mechanical energy conversions and transfers in systems will recognize that while energy is conserved, useful energy diminishes with each conversion.
- Unit CTeachable
Cycling of Matter in Living Systems
The fundamental unit of life, the cell, is an example of an efficient open system comprised of a cell membrane and organelles that carry out the basic functions of all living organisms. Students will learn that technological advancements in microscopy have enhanced the study of cells and cellular processes.
- Unit DTeachable
Energy Flow in Global Systems
Solar energy sustains life and drives the global climate systems on Earth. Without solar energy there would be no heat or precipitation and, therefore, no life on Earth. Students will gain an understanding that the absorption and transfer of thermal energy at and near Earth's surface results in a variety of climate zones with characteristic weather patterns and biomes.
