Nova Scotia Science curriculum. Every lesson comes with a printable teacher guide and student sheet.
Climate Change: Heat
Outcome Learners will create a model that demonstrates kinetic molecular theory, evaluate conducting and insulating materials and investigate heat transfer (an early start for the mitten and snow-den insulation tests).
Outcome Learners will create a model that demonstrates kinetic molecular theory: how the notions of hot and cold relate to it, how it relates to states of matter, heat capacity and insulating materials (an adjacent-grade match).
Lessons: Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move
Healthy Cells, Healthy Systems
Outcome Learners will analyse how the characteristics of cells relate to the needs of organisms: compare animal and plant cells and microscope observations (an adjacent-grade match).
Lessons: Cells: The Smallest Living Things
