Science units for Grades 4 to 6
Every unit is built on an Alberta learning outcome, and every lesson tells you exactly where it stands: sample, pilot, coming, or classroom tested.
Evidence Lab
How do you know something is true? Students collect evidence, spot weak claims and learn why scientists repeat their tests.
Our Living Planet
Air, water, land and living things, and how each one depends on the others. Built around a jar ecosystem the class keeps for a month.
Weather Detectives
Chinooks, frost dates and the hottest spot in the schoolyard. Students measure weather fairly and find out why farmers care so much about it.
Solids, Liquids and Gases
Where does a puddle go? Why does ice float? A first look at the tiny particles that explain the stuff around us.
Hot and Cold: Particles on the Move
Why tires go soft in January, why sidewalks have gaps, and how a thermometer knows. Five lessons on what heating and cooling do to the particles in everything around us.
Power for Alberta
Where does the electricity in our classroom come from, and why does Alberta make it the way it does? Wind, sun, gas and the choices behind them.
Climate Clues
Tree rings, old weather records and what our own town's numbers say. How scientists tell climate apart from a cold week.
