Example – Grade 3 Science Unit 1 Life Science: Plant Growth and Changes

Skill: Analysing and Interpreting

202-4 construct and label concrete-object graphs, pictographs, or bar graphs

Students should construct a bar graph once all the data are collected. This can be used to reinforce mathematics graphing skills. Technology, such as spreadsheet and commercial software, can be used to generate the graph.

Example –Language Arts 4, 5 General Curriculum Outcome 10: Students will

be expected to use a range of strategies to develop effective writing and other ways of representing and to enhance their clarity, precision and effectiveness.
