Science
4 reviewsThis science resource is exceptional! It features age-appropriate activities and readings that make learning fun and engaging for kids. It’s a fantastic tool for helping students grasp complex ideas through interactive and hands-on learning.
Just like with all the Brain Ninja resources, this one is incredibly organized and well laid out. Lesson plans are easy to follow and engaging for students. All the activities were so fun for students and made this a memorable unit.
This unit is well-structured, incorporating activities aligned with the new Alberta Science curriculum. The lessons are well-balanced, featuring a variety of notes, experiments, engaging worksheets, and research projects. My students are actively involved and excited about science.
My students absolutely loved the electricity unit — especially doing your STEM projects. I still use this sometimes because the kids are so interested in electricity. I love all of your stuff, thank you!
Math
4 reviewsThis statistics, graphing, and probability unit is such a great resource for Grades 4–5! I love the variety of lessons and activities, especially how they make topics like graphing and probability more accessible and fun for students.
An excellent resource for introducing algebraic thinking. Many of my students struggle with the jump from ‘what comes next’ to ‘what is the rule,’ and the guided lessons in this unit really bridged that gap. The worksheets are clean and not cluttered.
This interactive unit on telling time and elapsed time is wonderful! My 4th and 5th graders stayed engaged with the hands-on components, and the scaffolded lessons really helped them grasp elapsed time, which many struggled with before.
I have commented on BN products many times. Their products are comprehensive, thorough and Alberta curriculum focused. These lesson products are full of teacher tips, notebook materials, lesson plans, printables, exit tickets, worksheets, test items. All the things. So great!

4 reviewsThis Expected and Unexpected Behaviors Unit is an incredibly helpful tool for building social awareness, self-regulation, and positive behavior in the classroom. The visuals are clear, the language is student-friendly — especially for my students in special education who benefit from explicit teaching.
This is a thoughtful and well-organized resource that made teaching emotional regulation simple and effective. The lessons were engaging and age-appropriate, with a great variety of activities to suit different learners. A must-have for any upper elementary health program!
This resource was fantastic! It was well-organized, easy to use, and required very little prep. My students were engaged and the activities supported their learning perfectly. I will definitely be using this again — thank you for such a great resource!
This resource was an excellent addition to my classroom! Well organized and easy to use! Very helpful and easy for my students to understand. Thank you for all the work and dedication you put into making your resources.
Art
4 reviewsThis Earth Day Bulletin Board Project was a wonderful way to bring my class together! The collaborative poster art and coloring activities were engaging and helped students express their creativity. A fantastic resource to celebrate and teach about environmental awareness!
This resource and the updates are amazing! It has been my art curriculum since I bought it in 2022. Students love the projects and the lesson plans are so clear. I usually have the needed supplies or can easily find them within the school/dollar store. I love this!
A beautiful and meaningful activity! My students loved working together on this collaborative poster. It sparked great conversations and looks amazing as classroom decor. Easy to use and perfect for combining art, culture, and community. Highly recommend!
As a program leader, I used this resource across multiple grades to create an interactive community poster during our Remembrance Day activities. The completed poster received many accolades and the students were excited to see their pieces as part of the completed whole.
English Language Arts
4 reviewsThese prompts were great to use with my grade 4 students. Not only were their drawings absolutely hilarious, they made great connections to the idioms for not only my English speakers but also my EAL learners as well. I highly recommend this resource for the idioms, but also for the laughs.
This was a fun way to talk about the Lunar New Year! I appreciated that it went beyond customs in China to Korea and Vietnam. Crafts are not often done in my district, so my students were very excited to make the fun & fast lantern. Would highly recommend.
I have an early finisher crate full of activities that are seasonal, and these are a perfect resource for that! My students love the challenge of logic puzzles, so they are always wanting to try to solve these. Easy to just print and go!
Great resource if you are looking for expository prompts to assist your students with becoming better writers.
French
4 reviewsI loved using this bundle to bring some holiday cheer into our FSL program. The activities were varied and fun, and my students picked up so much Christmas vocabulary along the way. It was low prep for me and high engagement for them.
This teaching resource is a fantastic addition to any FSL classroom! It beautifully combines beginner French vocabulary with cultural exploration through the vibrant celebration of Le Festival du Voyageur. Highly recommended!
I used this for a weekly routine activity with my classes. They had a blast learning French idioms, and our star of the week got to draw and colour the picture for each one. By the end of the year, my French cart was covered in these posters. Merci!
This resource has been perfect as I launch learning surrounding Carnaval. We especially benefited from the extensive vocabulary, and created a word wall that will be great leading up to our Carnaval at school.

Social Studies
4 reviewsSocial Studies can be a little heavy, but using drama, like with these, works well to get the kids critically thinking!

This project-based learning unit on the settlers in Canada is an excellent fit for the new Alberta Social Studies curriculum. The activities are hands-on, student-centered, and encourage critical thinking about the experiences of colonists and their interactions in Canada. It’s well-structured, easy to follow, and fosters creativity while keeping students engaged.
