Science First Peoples Teacher Resource Guide (Grades 5-9)

The FNESC/FNSA Science First Peoples (5-9) Teacher Resource Guide provides educators with resources to support the integration of the rich body of First Peoples (unappropriated) knowledge and perspectives into Science, and other curricular areas.

The guide includes background information on how First Peoples’ perspectives in science can be recognized and included in science inquiry. It also offers curriculum planning suggestions, and provides examples of fully developed multi-grade thematic units that correspond with the BC curriculum.

While is focuses on grades 5 to 9, it can also be applied to other grade levels and be used in conjunction with the Science First Peoples Teacher Resource Guide (SECONDARY) (2019).

It is recognized that the wealth of First Peoples’ science knowledge is held by communities. The guide can be used in conjunction with locally based resources that are developed by or in collaboration with, local communities.
