Grade 10, Pan-Canadian Science Curriculum

• MOTI-10-117.08: identify possible areas of further study related to science and technology (e.g., suggest areas such as sports training, mechanical engineering, aerodynamics, and ballistics) (Resources)
• MOTI-10-114.06: relate personal activities and various scientific and technological endeavours to specific science disciplines and interdisciplinary studies (e.g., relate automobile design to studies in kinematics, aerodynamics, mathematics, ergonomics, and environmental science) (Resources)
• MOTI-10-115.01: distinguish between scientific questions and technological problems (e.g., distinguish between questions such as "What is the effect of a head wind on the velocity of a vehicle?" and "How could the design of a vehicle be modified to take into account a head wind?") (Resources)
• MOTI-10-212.07: formulate operational definitions of major variables (e.g., provide operational definitions for velocity, acceleration, and displacement) (Resources)
• MOTI-10-213.04: estimate quantities (e.g., estimate the time required to travel a certain distance given an approximate velocity) (Resources)
• MOTI-10-215.02: select and use appropriate numeric, symbolic, graphical, and linguistic modes of representation to communicate ideas, plans, and results (e.g., present a graph showing an object"s velocity, ensuring that the variables are on the appropriate axes) (Resources)
