Quebec Province Study

We recently wrapped up our Quebec study, and here are some of the activities we did. 

We learned all about owls and dissected an owl pellet

Quebec is the largest producer of Maple Syrup in Canada so we learned all about the maple tree and the process of making maple syrup.

We made some pancakes to enjoy with our maple syrup.

Photosynthesis

Since we were learning about the maple tree we did a mini botany unit. 

Parts of a tree trunk

Maple leaves and their life cycle

We also added in some math and learned all about liquid measurements (gallons, quarts, pint, and cup).

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of the activities we did during our Quebec study. We're off to PEI next!

Ontario Province Study

Hi guys, today I wanted to share with you our Ontario province study. Here are some of the activities we did. 

We learned all about the CN Tower and build a model from Lego.  You can read all about it by clicking on the image above. 

We also learned all about The Great Lakes

We did a mini unit about water. Click on the image above to read all about it. 

Niagara Falls 

We reviewed the cardinal directions and made a compass rose out of salt dough. Click on the image above to read all about it. 

We put together a terrarium during our water unit. 

I hope you enjoyed reading all about our Ontario study. We are off to Quebec next!

Saskatchewan Study

Hi guys, today I wanted to share with you our Saskatchewan study. We didn't do a lot of hands on activities for this province but we still learned a lot. We use the Great Canadian Adventure as our main spine. 

We learned all about lines of latitude and longitude. We used a free map from Layers of Learning. 

We also learned about time zones and made a time zone wheel. 

Next we learned about Sedimentary rocks and how they are formed. We made a sediment in a jar to learn how the different layers settle in a river/lake. 

You can read all about this project in this post. Click on the image to read all about it. 

We also learned about the boreal forest and migratory birds. In the spring many birds stop in this forest to lay their eggs and during migration season they stop in this forest as a resting spot. We focused on Canadian Geese. 

Saskatchewan is known as the land of the living skies. We learned all about different types of clouds and thunderstorms. 

We watched this video to learn all about the different types of clouds.
