Description
NEW 2022 CURRICULUM! DIGITAL AND PDF VERSIONS BOTH INCLUDED!
New Ontario 2022 Science Curriculum - Grade 8 – Water Systems. This product was created to cover the NEW 2022 Ontario Science Grade 8 curriculum – Earth and Space Systems: Water Systems.
***Strand A: STEM/Coding has been added to this unit at no extra charge!
There are 158 activities sheets that cover the expectations in the new science curriculum. This massive unit contains readings, research assignments, experiments, diagrams, true/false, and much more!
Most importantly, we have made cross-curriculum connections to the grade 8 language program. Students will practice reading comprehension strategies (making connections, summarizing, visualizing, and questioning) as they work through this unit.
Check out the preview of this unit to learn more about how it can benefit your students in science and language!
