New Science Pack for Upper Grades

Last year I taught grade 6 for the first time. Loved the grade, hated a good chunk of the curriculum..... especially Science and Social Studies.

I am trying my best to put some of the ideas and activities that I did last year into packages to help other teachers out. I find the curriculum very scattered and I have been trying to tie it all together. Nevertheless, another Science Pack has been completed and is on sale until the weekend.

Check it out if it interests you :)

"Understanding Life Systems *Biodiversity*” package is specifically linked to the Ontario Science Curriculum. It is a great pack to use if you are teaching a straight or combined class.
