Science 1
LT1.2
Analyze different ways in which plants, animals, and humans interact with various natural and constructed environments to meet their basic needs.
CP, DM, SI
Indicators for this outcome
| (a) |
Identify the physical needs, (i.e., food, water, air, and shelter) that plants, animals, and humans require for survival. |
| (b) |
Pose questions about ways in which plants interact with their environments to meet their basic needs (e.g., How long does it take a seed to start to grow? How does the growth of a plant change if the seed is planted in soil, sand, or rocks? How tall will a bean plant grow?). |
| (c) |
Pose questions about ways in which animals interact with their environments to meet their basic needs (e.g., How does a bird move from one tree to another? Where do animals go at night or during the day? How do animals escape from predators?). |
| (d) |
Investigate, through field trips to natural habitats, nature videos, and community walks, homes and habitats of local plants and animals to determine how they meet their basic needs. |
| (e) |
Compare ways in which plants and animals that live within the local environment, and plants and animals that live in other environments, meet their needs for food, water, and shelter. |
| (f) |
Compare the kinds of food that different animals eat, their methods of eating (e.g., cracking, tearing, strangling, chewing, or swallowing whole), and the structures that they have for eating. |
| (g) |
Explore the challenges that plants, animals, and humans encounter when attempting to meet their basic needs in constructed environments (e.g., lawn, sports field, street, playground, and city). |
| (h) |
Discuss the need for caution when dealing with plants and animals (e.g., students may be allergic to a plant or animal, an animal may bite, and many common household plants are poisonous if ingested). |
| (i) |
Compare basic human needs to the needs of plants, other animals, and non-living things. |
| (j) |
Predict and model how certain animals will move (e.g., fly, run, swim, slither, walk, and swing) to meet their needs for food, shelter, and protection in their environment, based on personal observations, pictures, or videos. |
| (k) |
Explore how people demonstrate respect for living things by caring for domestic plants and animals (e.g., growing a plant, hatching eggs, and keeping a pet). |

Askî and Friends: Help Me Tell My Story
These digital storybooks were developed as part of the Help Me Tell My Story early childhood oral language assessment. The assessment is unique in many ways and it is grounded in First Nations and Métis holistic perspectives on learning. All of the stories incorporate traditional beliefs and perspectives and are available in five languages: Cree, Dene, Michif, English and French. The four storybooks focus on Askî, his three friends Nipi, Kon and Tate and their lives around the pond. The stories introduce Turtle Island and Mother Earth - two concepts that are central in the First Nations worldview. The stories were developed to be used in the classroom and in the home to help improve early childhood language skills. These stories are available for interactive tablets and can be downloaded from Google Play (Android) or the AppStore (iPad).

Hi! Fly Guy
When Buzz enters Fly Guy in The Amazing Pet Show, the judges aren't impressed. Flies are pests and can't be pets, but Fly Guy is determined to amaze everyone with his tricks. After all, how many pets can say their master's name and know their own jar? Fly Guy wins the Smartest Pet Award, and a beautiful friendship between Buzz and Fly Guy begins.

National Geographic Science 1-2
This series of modular kits allows students to build skills to ensure a complete understanding of the nature of science. The process skills and the nature of science work together to help students think and act like scientists. Students will develop their process skill of observation. Through the nature of science, students will learn that science knowledge is based upon evidence and that science knowledge can change based upon new evidence. Numerous opportunities are provided for students to complete hands-on explorations that ensure a thorough understanding of key science concepts. Each unit opens with a big question to guide learning. Throughout the unit, there are four levels of inquiry. The explore activity allows students to build background knowledge. Teachers direct instruction in directed inquiry. In guided inquiry, students become independent learners with guidance from the teacher. Students choose their own questions, create and carry out plans, collect and record data and share data in open inquiry.
