• school, hospital, nursing home
• artists’ studio
(2 marks — 1 mark per location)
(b) Answers will vary. Accept any two (2) of:
• Accidents can occur anywhere.
• WHMIS deals with general health and safety as well as chemical safety.
• WHMIS training gives people the knowledge and understanding of dangerous situations and the skills to protect themselves.
(3 marks — 1 mark for each point (up to 2), 1 mark for proper sentence structure)
13. Answers will vary but should include at least three (3) properties that involve other senses or measurable values. For example, texture, mass, hardness, flexibility, or conductivity.
(4 marks — 1 mark per point (up to 3), 1 mark for proper sentence structure)
14. Answers will vary but should include two (2) physical properties (e.g., white, powder, dissolves in water, solid at room temperature) and two (2) chemical properties (e.g., reacts with vinegar, reduces odour in refrigerator).
(5 marks — 1 mark per property (up to 4), 1 mark for proper sentence structure)
15. Look for the following explanations and possible examples.
• A solid has particles so closely packed together that they do not move much. This makes a solid keep its shape (e.g., ice).
• A liquid has particles that are more loosely packed than a solid and move around freely. This makes a liquid able to take the shape of its container (e.g., water in a fish tank).
• A gas has particles that are very loosely packed and bouncing off each other. This makes a gas expand to fill its container completely (e.g., water vapour coming from a kettle).
