Your Saskatchewan Seed Kit comes complete with 5 sets of 13 seed samples of Saskatchewan's most commonly grown crops and suggested activities to engage your students in learning about crop production in Saskatchewan. The lesson plans were revised in 2016! One kit per teacher. Available in French "La Trousse de semences de la Saskatchewan".
This 1 1/2 hour session will give students the opportunity to participate in a live broadcast with professional artist Heather Clines. Students will learn how artists come up with ideas to create art work and some of the basic ways Cline uses collage in her own work. Students will understand the use of collage as a form of visual art and use the method to create an art work inspired by a Freaky Friday in Saskatchewan.
PHYSICAL SCIENCE, EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE
The world's energy supplies are in crisis, and it's up to you to save the world! This game will teach you all about different power sources, alternative energy, and how we generate electricity to power our lives.
ABOUT THE SCIENCE
So far, most of the world’s energy comes from non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels, oil and natural gas, but alternatives that can be replenished are constantly being developed and harnessed. These alternative energies use renewable resources like sunlight, wind, rain, tides and heat from the Earth to produce energy.
Developing alternative energy sources is critical for sustaining the world’s energy consumption in the future. Wind, tidal, geothermal and hydropower are used to run turbines converting mechanical energy into electrical energy through a generator.
Wind is the bulk air movement created by the variable heating of the Earth’s surface by the Sun. A wind turbine has three very large blades that are shaped like airplane wings to capture the mechanical energy from the movement of the air and convert it into a rotational force. A generator then takes the rotational force and transforms it into electrical energy.
Tidal turbines function under the same principles as a wind turbine, but instead of capturing air movement, it captures water currents. Water currents are produced by a number of factors that include tides, variable temperature, winds across the ocean’s surface, and the Earth’s rotational movement.
Geothermal energy uses energy in the Earth’s crust to heat water and produce steam that then drives a turbine. With the current consumption of energy the non-renewable resources like coal, oil and natural gas will eventually be depleted and alternative energy is needed in order to take their place and ensure lights can still turn on and houses are still heated.
Hydroelectric generators convert the kinetic energy of moving water into electrical energy.
Solar energy uses the Sun and material capable of absorbing light to create electricity from light in solar cells (photovoltaic cells), which can be connected in a series to create solar panels. The energy harnessed is then converted directly to electricity

Find information about the scholarships, bursaries and grants that are available for students in Saskatchewan.
Awards
Find Saskatchewan honours and awards that acknowledge the achievements and contributions of Saskatchewan students.
Grants and Bursaries
Students can apply for government financial assistance and access non-repayable funding with federal and provincial student grants.
Scholarships
A number of scholarships are available to support students' secondary and post-secondary education.
How to administer the assessments:
• Literally only takes 5 minutes
• Four choices for each grade (student passage page and teacher recording page)
• Student reads for 60 seconds and teacher records errors
• After 60 seconds you read the story to the student (while they follow along) to remove any difficulties s/he may had had in word recognition or fluency that could hamper comprehension
• Remove passage from student and ask what they remember from the passage
• Prompting is allowed, but noted

Supporting Assessment in Saskatchewan (2022) Resource Professional Development Jigsaw Activity (for Triads) This activity can be completed by your staff in August or during another PD Day throughout the year. The school's triad is encouraged facilitate the activity using the resources provided.
This is a year long school-wide plan to introduce and discuss SECRET skills with your students over the morning announcements and/or in your classroom.
The following are two examples of what has been done in the past in a school in MB.
In the second half of our education unit, we’re using conflict theory to explore a few social inequalities in the US education system. We’ll look at variation in school funding and quality, the role of cultural capital, and some of the ways in which the American school system disadvantages minority students.
SciShow produces informational science videos for students of any age. They do have the look and feel that would likely appeal to younger students.
These videos are hosted by Jessi and her robot rat “Squeaks” and answer questions that inquiring young minds really want to know.
A variety of topics are covered in videos including: science on the playground, getting to know your emotions, simple machines, experiments, animal information, brainteasers and more.
The following assignments go with the ecosystems unit in Science 10.

Students were given a copy of the grid listing habitats. Each child was asked to select one square on the grid and then research a list of animals that live in that habitat. They recorded only information for one of the grids. When this was completed, each student shared what they learned with the class, and each student filled in the new section on their chart. Our last task was for the students to complete the exit slip, explaining how this made learning things easier. They all decided it was easier to research part of the information and share.
