The computer will give you a list of chemical symbols and a list of chemical names. Choose the chemical name that each chemical symbol represents. Press the 'Check my answers!' button after you have made your choices.
In our latest NOVA Lab, we’ve created a game that invites students to join in the fun, and trains them to use the very same techniques that scientists use every day in the hunt for exoplanets. Here’s a quick preview:
To start, players watch a brief mission intro video that sets the scene for the game: They’ve been selected to be the lead scientist for the NOVA Space Center’s Galactic Resettlement team, with the job of finding suitable exoplanets for displaced aliens desperately seeking new homes.
Once players arrive at the Lunar base, they start with a training module that explains how the search for habitable exoplanets begins in our own solar system. A series of videos and simulation tools helps them understand the conditions that make Earth so conducive to life – clues about what to look for in other, distant star systems in our Milky Way galaxy.
The following resources help with the introduction of science.
The University of Saskatchewan offers this tremendous resource that promotes the richness and diversity of the sciences, nurture curiosity and innovation, and inspire students to consider a career in science, and support teachers to provide exciting educational experiences.
Check out the great collection of video and activity resources for teachers and parents to supplement and enhance Grade 9 science learning.
Move the Sun, Earth, Moon and space station to see how it affects their gravitational forces and orbital paths. Visualize the sizes and distances between different heavenly bodies, and turn off gravity to see what would happen without it!
Embark on an exhilarating journey across the cosmos as you unravel the intricate dance of planets, delving into the profound effects of position, mass, velocity, and distance on their celestial motions and orbits!
• Predict how the position, mass, velocity, and distance between planetary bodies affect their motion and orbits.
• Illustrate how the gravitational force controls the motions of the planets.
• Explore the different motions that a group of planetary bodies can have.
• Describe the behavior of the planet's velocity in different moments of its orbit.
The following file contains the assets (or resources) to accompany the Sask DLC Grade 9 Science. Please note that this is not the content of the course, but the assets used to support and deliver it. The files are organized in a zipped folder. You can download it and extract the files. Links are also provided to other materials like videos and other suggested resources.

Despite its apparently steady glow, the Sun is a churning mass of superhot plasma that regularly produces powerful flares and storms that can knock out power and communication systems on Earth. This Lab explores what makes the Sun so volatile and gives you access to the same data, images, and tools that scientists use to predict solar storms.
