This site offers a great number of supports to teachers for teaching earth science related outcomes.

The following are available:
*lesson plans
*potash kits (free to order in SK)
*Goventure (PD opportunity)
*reference materials
*career information
& more

Lessons are available for all grades with a strong representation for Chemistry 30, Grade 4 Science, Career Education, Grade 7 Science & Social, Earth Science 30, Energy & Mines 10-30.

Reference materials include videos, links and industry reference materials.

The Scale of the Universe 2 offers a unique look at scale as your explore different sized things in the universe. Use the scroll bar to zoom in and out. Click on objects to learn more.

It takes you on a ride down to the smallest thing theorized by scientists and then out to the vastness of the universe.

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 are resources for Liquids, Solids & Gases unit in grade 2 science.

The following are resources for the unit Motion and Position in grade 2 science.

The following resources go with the unit Structures and Materials in grade 3 science.

You are a member of the Habitat Research Team. Your job is to figure out what may happen to habitats when countries or business want to do something in that habitat. When a government or corporation contacts you, they usually have a question or problem about how a habitat is affected by a natural activity or human activity.
The interest of the country or business varies. They may want to build something on the land, find out the effects of a natural disaster on a habitat or want an explanation when they notice the sharp increase or decrease in a population of species of plant or animal.
The Government of the (made up) country of Banglapore (pronounced Bang-la-pour) is looking to build a large number of factories in some of its habitats. Banglapore is an island off the coast of Japan. It is a poor country with a lot of natural resources. Banglapore has a lot of forests (temperate and coniferous) habitats, a mountain range, freshwater habitats, and grasslands habitats. Banglapore wants to use its natural resources to build industry for the country to improve the lives of its citizens.
Your job is to answer the questions of the Banglapore Government and provide any information they need while they plan to build their factories.

The following resources go with the unit Habitats and Communities for grade 4 science.

The following are resources for Rocks, Minerals and Erosions in Grade 4 Science.

The following are resources for the Body Systems unit in Grade 5 Science.

This case will give students the opportunity to explore simple machine and forces in the context of an amusement park. Students will be able to investigate simple machines, the forces found in and around them, and how they make life easier for us. Students will also create two prototype amusement ride using simple machines: one involving levers and the other of their design using at least 2 simple machines. Outcomes FM5.1 and FM5.2 are the focus of this case.
Students have been hired by an amusement park developer who is to create a physics themed amusement park for a rich, eccentric scientist.

This attachment includes unit outlines on the following:
- Life Science – Human Organ Systems
- Physical Science: Properties and Changes of Materials
- Physical Science: Forces and Simple Machines
- Earth and Space Science: Weather
