NEW ALBERTA SCIENCE CURRICULUM - GRADE 1 Living Systems: Investigating the Needs of Plants and Animals in FRENCH
This comprehensive 286-page resource is EVERYTHING you will need to teach the LIVING SYSTEMS strand of the new Alberta Science curriculum. Also, it includes ALL KUSPs of the strands for Scientific Methods and Computer Science. It's a 3-in-1 resource! In fact, all the resources include the same, so by the end of the year, you will have taught everything. This unit is smaller (thanks to not many KUSP's)! This is reflected in the price.
