What is sustainability?
For the world?
For Canada?
For Calgary?
For our school?
How are we involved in disparity?
What does sustainability look like for people of different socioeconomic backgrounds?
How do our actions affect the environment?
Wetlands
Oil and Gas
Animals
Other people
Do we need to change our ways to be sustainable?
How can we improve?

Grade 4 Curricular Outcomes
Mathematics
Statistics and Probability:
General Outcome: Collect, display, and analyze data to solve a problem.
Specific Outcome 2. Construct and interpret pictographs and bar graphs involving many-to-one correspondence to draw conclusions.
SEE SCIENCE OUTCOME FOR SCIENCE INQUIRY
Number
General Outcome: Develop Number Sense
Specific Outcome 5: Describe and apply mental mathematics strategies to determine basic multiplication facts to 9 × 9 and related division facts.
Specific Outcome 6:
Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication (2- or 3-digit by 1-digit) to solve problems by: • using personal strategies for multiplication with and without concrete materials
• using arrays to represent multiplication
• connecting concrete representations to symbolic representations
• estimating products
Science
Skills
Problem Solving Through Technology
General Outcome: 4-3 Investigate a practical problem, and develop
a possible solution.
Specific Outcome: identify the purpose of problem-solving and construction activities: What problem do we need to solve? What needs must be met?
Science Inquiry
General Outcome 4-2: Identify patterns and order in objects and events studied; and record observations, using pictures, words and charts, with guidance in the construction of charts; and make predictions and generalizations, based on observations.
Specific Outcome: carry out, with guidance, procedures that comprise a fair test
Specific Outcome; record observations and measurements accurately, using captioned pictures and charts, with guidance in the construction of charts. Computer resources may be used for record keeping and for display and interpretation of data

Attitudes
General Outcome: Demonstrate positive attitudes for the study of science and for the application of science in
responsible ways.
Specific Outcomes:
-a willingness to work with others in shared activities and in sharing of experiences
• appreciation of the benefits gained from shared effort and cooperation
Understandings
Topic D: Light and Shadows
General Learner Expectations: Identify sources of light, describe the interaction of light with different materials, and infer the pathway of a light beam.
Specific Outcome 2: Identify a wide range of sources of light, including the Sun, various forms of electric lights, flames, and materials that glow (luminescent materials).
Topic A: Waste in Our World
General Outcome: Recognize that human activity can lead to the production of wastes, and identify alternatives for the responsible use and disposal of materials.
Specific Outcome
Identify and classify wastes that result from human activity.
Describe alternative methods of disposal, and identify possible advantages and disadvantages of each.
Distinguish between wastes that are readily biodegradable and those that are not.
Compare different kinds of packaging, and infer the relative advantages and disadvantages of that packaging.
Identify methods of waste disposal currently used within the local community.
Identify kinds of wastes that may be toxic to people and to the environment.
Identify alternative materials and processes that may decrease the amount of waste produced; e.g., reducing wastage of food, using both sides of a sheet of paper.
Identify alternative materials and processes that may decrease the amount of waste produced; e.g., reducing wastage of food, using both sides of a sheet of paper.
Develop a flow chart for a consumer product that indicates the source materials, final product, its use and method of disposal.
Identify actions that individuals and groups can take to minimize the production of wastes, to recycle or reuse wastes and to ensure the safe handling and disposal of wastes.
Develop and implement a plan to reduce waste, and monitor what happens over a period of time.
