State Standards
BC Curricular Connections: Grades 1,3-4 Science, examples of Big Ideas
• Science 1– Living things have features and behaviours that help them survive in their environment
• Science 3 – Living things are diverse, can be grouped, and interact in their ecosystems; wind, water and ice change the shape of the land
• Science 4 – All living things sense and respond to their environment
First Peoples Principles of Learning:
• Learning is holistic, reflexive, reflective, experiential, and relational (focused on connectedness, on reciprocal relationships, and a sense of place)
