=Grade 4 Year Plan= This comprehensive year plan provides an excellent starting point for planning your units. Lessons are linked to outcomes and indicators. Based on the Hands-On Science series. Shared by Kimberely Johnson (Kenaston). Sept. 2011.

=Grade 4 Science Unit: LIGHT= Many of the resources shared here to date are part of a collaboration project between Sonja Gattey (Outlook Elementary) and Jade Ballek (Learning Coach). The unit plan and table of contents reflection the material from the Portage and Main publication, __Hands-On Science__, which is another fantastic resource for educators!

 * Jade Ballek (Learning Coach) and Michelle Barton (Outlook Elementary) worked on unpacking the curriculum outcomes for this unit. This is just a beginning point for your own unit planning. We have completed the "I can" statements and started the unit plan by identifying big ideas and skills requierd. At the end of June, we had just started exploring assessment, so you will see our that section of our plan is blank.**

Best Beaks Here is a fun little activity that supports **Habitats and Community 4.2** that you could use in your Science classroom! Students can enter their results and compare their findings with other students across the world.

=Grade 4: Habitat and Community PBL= = A PBL case developed by Scott Stephens (Learning Coach) and Carol Laventure (Landis) that covers Outcome HC4.3. The case has students assuming the role of a habitat impact specialist. Banglapore, a fictitious developing nation, have asked your students (the Environmental Impact Team) to assess the impact their new industries will have on their environment and weigh the impact against the economic gains the country desperately needs. = Contains the disclosures. Contains letters for students from the Banglapore Government. Certificate for students from Banglapore Government upon completion of project.
