Grade 5 Science and Technology

The 2022 Ontario Grade 5 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 a few expectations in each strand; most are in the gap register.

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