What is a core resource?
Core Resources
A core resource is a foundational or key resource that complements a curriculum in an especially effective way. It may be a comprehensive resource that broadly addresses several of the student learning outcomes (e.g., a major integrated resource, series, textbook), an in-depth student resource that addresses at least one student learning outcome or a professional resource for educators.

Light: Stop Faking It! Finally Understanding Science So You Can Teach It
This resource from the Stop Faking It! Series helps teachers deepen their understanding of science concepts related to optics. The author addresses teachers' concerns about content and helps to fill in any gaps of understanding that may exist. Emphasis is on "getting" the science rather than on memorizing facts and formulas. This book explores ray, wave and particle models of light, reflection and refraction, optical instruments, polarization of light and interference and diffraction. A chapter about how the eye works is also included, as well as links throughout the book to websites. Each chapter includes a section entitled Things to Do before You Read the Science Stuff, as well as The Science Stuff. By addressing foundational concepts about light in an exploratory manner, this book helps to build background knowledge and understanding.
A light kit is enclosed with this book. It includes three colour gels (red, blue, yellow), three sheets of polarized film and one diffraction grating peephole.

Pearson Saskatchewan Science 4. Student Edition
Pearson Saskatchewan Science 4 is custom published for Saskatchewan and developed by a team of Saskatchewan teachers. Each unit starts with a list of "Big Ideas" that set the focus for the unit. A Big Idea then provides the title for each section in the unit. Throughout the unit, opportunities are provided for students to work together, communicate ideas, perform experiments and carry out library and Internet research. Key vocabulary is bolded throughout the unit and an explanation of each term is provided. All key terms and explanations are also listed in a glossary at the back of the text. First Nations and Métis content, perspectives and ways of knowing are an integral part of the Saskatchewan science text. Highlights of the activities and achievements of Saskatchewan men and women are provided in the "Ask..." feature. In each unit, the Ask... feature provides access to the wisdom of a First Nations or Métis Elder or Traditional Knowledge Keeper, who shares an oral story related to the content of that unit.

Children of the Earth...Remember
Mother Earth asks us to share and protect her. She talks of the animals that first inhabited Earth. With the arrival of people, humans and animals coexisted and shared Mother Earth. As humans started to outnumber animals, they forgot about Mother Earth. Humans no longer shared the land, water and sky with the animals. Schimmel's paintings provide students with opportunities to discuss why Mother Earth needs protection.

Fire! The Renewal of a Forest
The forest has been dry and scorched for weeks. One afternoon, a hot wind blows and storm clouds gather. Lightning strikes a tree in the meadow and ignites the dry vegetation. No life remains in the burnt forest. As the years slowly pass, seeds start to germinate and small creatures inhabit the forest. Students will learn that fire is sometimes good for the regeneration of forests.

Here Comes the Garbage Barge!
Based on a true event, a garbage barge called the Mobro 4000 was hired to transport 3,200 tons of garbage in 1987. Long Island's landfills were overflowing with garbage and affecting the groundwater. The local government outlawed the burying of garbage. The solution was to ship the garbage to dumping grounds in the south. This turned out to be a fiasco. The garbage barge was not welcome at any port and it was a costly, long journey. The situation highlighted the problem of garbage and what to do with it. Recycling became a widely enforced practice.
The story provides students with opportunities to discuss landfill use, garbage and how we can help the Earth. Information on how the illustrations were developed is provided on the inside of the jacket flap.

Ice Bear: In the Steps of the Polar Bear
The Inuit have watched and learned from the polar bear for generations. Davies describes the adaptations the polar bear has undergone to survive in the Arctic. The polar bear is able to swim and walk for hundreds of kilometres in search of food. At the same time, the polar bear is gentle with her newborn cubs. She will protect and feed the cubs for two years before they are able to hunt on their own. Through observing the polar bear, the Inuit have learned to hide from blizzards in a house of snow, to hunt for seals and to survive in the Arctic.

Students should be encouraged to understand the interdependent links between native plants, the environment on which we depend, and some of the effects human activities have had on the environment and native plant communities. The study ends with a brief look at the importance of stewardship and taking care of our environment.

Muskrats and Fire
Muskrats and Fire, written by Renée Carrière in collaboration with Charlebois Community School students in Cumberland House, provides a personal account of their journey to answer the question: Where have all the muskrats gone? The book weaves historical and present-day teachings shared by community Knowledge Keepers with the Saskatchewan K-12 curriculum. Stories centre around one Cree dialect and the cultural experiences of a specific community. It is not meant to encompass all Indigenous communities or cultural practices.

Opportunities to Address Computational Thinking in the Grades 1 to 6 Mathematics and Science Curricula: Saskatchewan Ministry of Education 2021
Computational thinking is a way of solving problems, designing systems and understanding human behaviour by drawing on the concepts of computer science. Incorporating a broad set of problem-solving processes that represent an entry point for new ways of thinking are applicable in computer science and non-computer science contexts. Students at all grades can be engaged in computational thinking to support the learning of coding. While many teachers have already incorporated computational thinking into their classroom instructional and assessment activities, the Ministry of Education has developed this document to support teachers in explicitly connecting computational thinking to specific outcomes in grades 1 through 6 mathematics and science.

The Adaptive Dimension refers to the concept of making adjustments to any or all of the following variables: learning environment, instruction, assessment and resources. Adjustments to these variables are intended to make learning meaningful and appropriate and to support student achievement. In the
Saskatchewan context, differentiation is addressed through the Adaptive Dimension which enables all teachers to respond to student diversity, including their strengths and needs, interests, backgrounds, life experiences and motivations.
