Grade 1 Science and Technology

The 2022 Ontario Grade 1 Science and Technology course has five strands: STEM Skills and Connections, Life Systems, Matter and Energy, Structures and Mechanisms, and Earth and Space Systems. The museum maps parts of strands A, B, D and E and none of strand C.

Draft: these lessons were written with AI help and have not yet been read by a human editor.

Strand A — STEM Skills and Connections

Testing ideas, building devices, and seeing who has contributed to science and technology (expectations A1, A2, A3). The museum maps A1 and A3 only.

  1. Who has helped science and technology? Practical uses of science at home and in the community, and contributions from different communities. ScholarInvention

Strand D — Structures and Mechanisms

Everyday objects and structures, the materials they are made of, and their impact on people and the environment (expectations D1, D2). The museum maps parts of both.

  1. Structures that hold things up Structures built to carry a load, and the materials and properties that let them do it. Object
  2. What things are made of Objects are made of one or more materials; where the materials come from and what happens when objects are no longer needed. Invention

Strand E — Earth and Space Systems

Daily and seasonal changes and how living things respond to them (expectations E1, E2). The museum maps one lesson from E2.

  1. Day, night and the seasons Cycles of day and night and of the seasons, and how the light from the Sun changes through them. Invention
