Science in Alberta Changes

Dear Alberta Teacher,
As you know, the science curriculum has changed and all Alberta teachers will use the new outcomes as of September 1, 2024. Our resources have been updated to align with the new curriculum.

NEW! Are you a new ninja? Jump to the grade level: Grade Three, Grade Four, Grade Five, Grade Six.

Our original resources fall into one of these three categories:

  • We cannot guarantee your past purchases will work for the new outcomes, but we will do our best to salvage as much as possible. Look for REVISION for resources that have been revised and are in the same grade level. Look for ADJUSTED for resources adjusted for a new grade level.
  • New outcomes will have new resources written for them. Look for NEW! to find new resources.
  • Resources that no longer align with Alberta and cannot be repurposed in other jurisdictions will be discontinued. You will still have access to them, but we will not be updating them at this time.

What about the old year-long bundles? Those bundles are still available for you to use, but they are no longer available for purchase. Find them in “My Purchases” on TpT or in your email from our BN Shop.

Jump to the grade level: Grade Three, Grade Four, Grade Five, Grade Six.

The resources are written, but we will continue to take feedback from teachers and use it to edit, refine and add to them. Check back after school breaks for updates. We’ll try to post all the updates at once.
