Energy Transformations
Polymers
D1 Describe the effects of
adding heat to matter, in terms
the motion of atoms and
molecules and phase changes
D2 Explain how energy transfers
from hotter to cooler objects by
conduction, convection and
radiation.
D3 Describe energy
transformations among heat, light,
electricity, and motion.
D4 Calculate the voltage,
current and resistance in a simple
series circuit, using Ohm's law.

current uses and environmental
concerns related to the use of
hydrogen fuel cells, wind and solar
energy to produce electricity
D14-Describe combustion
reactions of hydrocarbons and
their by-products.

formation and structure of
carbon-based polymers,
including synthetic polymers
such as polyethylene and
biopolymers such as
carbohydrate.

Global Interdependence
D20-Explain how internal
energy of the Earth drives
matter to cycle through the
magma and the solid Earth.
D21- Explain how the release
of sulfur dioxide(SO2) in the air
can form acid rain and how acid
rain affects water sources,
organisms and human-made
structures.
D22 Explain how the
accumulation of carbon dioxide
(CO2) in the atmosphere
increases Earth’s “greenhouse”
effect and may cause climate
changes.
D23- Explain how the
accumulation of mercury,
phosphates and nitrates affects
the quality of water and the
organisms that live in rivers,
lakes and oceans.
D24-Explain the short and
long-term impacts of landfills
and incineration of waste
materials on the quality of the
environment.
D25-Explain how housing
development, transportation
options and consumption of
resources may affect the
environment.
D26- Describe human efforts to
reduce the consumption of raw
materials and improve air and
water quality.

in Grade 9
CAPT EXAM
D INQ 2 - Read, interpret and
examine the credibility and
validity of scientific claims in
different sources of information.
D INQ 3 - Formulate a testable
hypothesis and demonstrate
logical connections between the
scientific concepts guiding the
hypothesis and the design of
the experiment.
D INQ 7 - Assess the reliability
of the data that was generated
in the investigation.
D INQ 8 - Use mathematical
operations to analyze and
interpret data, and present
relationships between variables
in appropriate forms.
D INQ 9 - Articulate conclusions
and explanations based on
research data, and assess
results based on the design of
the investigation.
D INQ 10 - Communicate about
science in different formats,
using relevant science
vocabulary, supporting
evidence and clear logic.
