CA$15.00

Grade 8 Science Unit

Ontario curriculum based science unit with a nature twist! Each science unit includes pdf instructions and all relevant handouts and digital resources (where applicable). This science unit covers the Ontario curriculum with the exception of coding and an indigenous perspective.

As the owner of Blue Marble Rescue, you must hire a company of fluid mechanic experts to recover a treasure chest at the bottom of a lake. The hiring process you have developed requires each company to demonstrate their fluid mechanic knowledge through eight requirement stages, from viscosity, density, buoyancy, to having an oil spill recovering plan, before they are asked to demonstrate how they would recover the treasure chest.

This unit includes sections on: Viscosity; Density; Compressibility; Buoyancy; Relationships; Pascal’s Law; Living Things vs. Manufactured Things; Fluid Spills Plan; and a Recovery Plan.

Interested in all four units? Purchase the complete grade from the store and get a discount.

This unit was updated based on the 2022 Ontario curriculum
