=**What are fluids? What are they made of and how do we use them? What properties of fluids are important to their use?**=

By the time you finish this unit you should be able to:

 * explain the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) symbols for labeling substances; and describe the safety precautions to follow when handling, storing and disposing of substances at home and in the laboratory
 * identify examples of fluids in household materials, technological devices, living things and natural environments
 * identify properties of fluids that are important in their selection and use
 * describe examples in which materials are prepared as fluids in order to facilitate transport, processing or use
 * describe and interpret technologies for moving fluids from one place to another
 * distinguish among pure substances, mixtures and solutions, using common examples
 * investigate the solubility of different materials, and describe their concentration
 * investigate and identify factors that affect solubility and the rate of dissolving a solute in a solvent
 * relate the properties of mixtures and solutions to the particle model of matter
 * describe technologies based on the solubility of materials
 * compare fluids, based on their viscosity and flow rate, and describe the effects of temperature change on liquid flow
 * describe and interpret technologies based on flow rate and viscosity
 * observe the mass and volume of a liquid, and calculate its density using the formula d = m/v
 * compare densities of materials; and explain differences in the density of solids, liquids and gases, using the particle model of matter
 * describe methods of altering the density of a fluid, and identify and interpret related practical applications
 * describe pressure as a force per unit area, and describe applications of pressure in fluids and everyday situations
 * compare the compressibility of liquids and gases
