Education Level: K-12
Type of Material: Syllabus
This Integrated Resource Package (IRP) provides basic information teachers will require in order to implement Sustainable Resources in Grades 11 and 12.
To prepare students for further education, for their careers, and for issues they will face in their adult lives, the Sustainable Resources 11 and 12 curriculum engages students in the investigation of scientific questions related to resources found in British Columbia and the development of plausible solutions. Science education develops and builds on students’ sense of wonder about the world around them and encourages a feeling of responsibility to sustain it. Science education fosters students’ desire to meet a challenge, take risks, and learn from mistakes. It prompts a curiosity about the changing world and helps students understand that the skills and knowledge they are gaining will be refined and expanded to reflect advances in scientific knowledge and technology and changing circumstances in the world around them.
This document includes considerations for program delivery, prescribed learning outcomes, and assessment and evaluation metrics in the overall area of sustainable resources as well as on specialized topics including: agriculture, fisheries, forestry, mining, and energy.
