Frequently Asked Questions

What Alberta science resources are available?

Brain Ninjas has Alberta science resources for Grades 3 to 6, including full-year bundles, unit bundles, lessons and activities, collaborative posters and computer science lessons. Each grade is organized by unit: Matter, Energy, Living Systems and Earth Systems, plus Space in Grades 4 to 6.

Are your Alberta science resources aligned to the new curriculum?

Yes. The Alberta science curriculum changed, and all Alberta teachers have been using the new outcomes since September 1, 2024. Our resources have been updated to align with the new curriculum.

What is included in a full-year science bundle?

Each full-year bundle includes everything for that grade, with a unit plan for each unit and a simple year plan.

What science topics are covered at each grade?

Grade 3 covers matter (the water cycle, water and ice safety, changes to matter, raw and processed materials), energy (contact forces and simple machines), living systems (food chains, plant and animal survival) and earth systems (surface changes and Alberta’s dinosaurs). In grade 4, students explore waste, space (astronomy, the solar system, the lunar calendar, sky observations), non-contact forces, gravity and magnetism, living organisms, plant structures, animal senses, and earth systems (Earth’s spheres, sun and water, Alberta’s natural resources, conservation). Topics in grade 5 include states and the particle model of matter, space (moon phases, eclipses, space exploration, aurora, seasons), energy (natural resources, buoyancy, forces of air), human body systems and plant transport systems, and weather and climate. By grade 6, students cover properties of water and temperature, the solar system and space technology, energy resources and forces, ecosystems, photosynthesis and the roles of plants, and earth systems (dinosaur extinction, weather technology, climate change, extreme weather).

Do you have computer science lessons?

Yes. Each grade has a computer science resource: Thinking and Inventions in Grade 3, Design Thinking in Grade 4, Computer Languages in Grade 5, and Abstractions and Code in Grade 6.

Do you update your Alberta science resources?

Yes. The resources are written, and we continue to take feedback from teachers to edit, refine and add to them. Check back after school breaks for updates.
