Get a unit about natural resources and forces planned in minutes. This unit includes all our resources for the Alberta science curriculum related to natural resources, buoyancy and forces of air through activities, experiments, and complete lessons. Everything you need to teach the whole unit is included!
This unit was designed specifically for Alberta Grade 5 science teachers. It includes:
lesson plans with step-by-step instructions and options for modifications.
background information for teachers.
student pages and templates.
answer keys and suggested answers.
photos of student examples.
ideas for how to use this resource in the classroom, online, or a mix.
digital versions of all the student reading and writing pages that use Google Slides. You must download the PDF files and use the access links in the files to get your digital copies.
an alignment guide for Alberta Outcomes in each resource.
a unit plan and a list of Alberta Science outcomes to help with planning.
These resources are included in this bundle:
Natural Resources:a variety of activities to develop an understanding of natural resources, uses of natural resources, how different natural resources are gathered, renewable and non-renewable resources, energy profiles for Canadian provinces and territories, types of energy resources, uses of oil.
Buoyancy Forces:definition and examples of buoyancy, experiments to explore the effects of forces in different liquids/fluids, buoyancy in relation to gravity and density, variables manipulated (independent), responding (dependent) and controlled, designing a fair test, constructing floating devices, using the design process.
Forces of Air:definition and examples of the forces of air: lift, weight (gravity), thrust and drag, living things and how they fly, flight technology: Wright Flyer, Fixed-wing airplanes, fishing spears, drones and other common historical and modern technologies, conducting a fair test, identifying variables in an experiment, using the scientific method, using the design process.
scientific method outcomes are embedded into the lessons
