Science Grade 9 Suggested Lesson Plan Sequence
Welcome to our EDCP 455 Resource blog for grade 9 science. In the posts that follow we have included a unit plan, a suggested lesson plan sequence and one detailed lesson plan for the earth science/ecology section of the new grade 9 BC curriculum. The Big Idea we are focusing on is: the biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and the atmosphere are interconnected and matter and energy flow through them.
We hope you find these resources useful! Erin, Sarah and Greg
The Big Idea for this unit plan is:
The biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere are interconnected as matter and energy flow through them.
