KDU – Curriculum Model
![Page 5: Science 4-7 Prog Implementation Inservice Sep …...Agenda 1. The New BC Science Curriculum > What’s changed 2. Foundations of the New BC Science Curriculum 3.

80% of curriculum topics from the 2005 curriculum have been moved, modified, or removed
84%of curriculum topics in the 2016 curriculum are new to the grade or have been modified
“Know” - The New Content Learning Standards
![Page 6: Science 4-7 Prog Implementation Inservice Sep …...Agenda 1. The New BC Science Curriculum > What’s changed 2. Foundations of the New BC Science Curriculum 3.

23% of the learning standards were about skills and processes
71% of the learning standards are about skills and processes
In 2005:
In 2016:
“Do” - Increase Emphasis

Understanding
• Basic content knowledge is essential to support the ‘doing of science’
• Deeper learning is achieved when students have a starting point for scientific inquiry and it’s connected to the real world and supported by a foundation of content knowledge

What is a Big Idea
• Represents what students will come to understand• Reflects the ‘Understand’ of KDU framework• Covers 4 big ideas at each grade – one from biology,
chemistry, physics, and earth/space• Big Ideas are understood through Content Standards
![Page 11: Science 4-7 Prog Implementation Inservice Sep …...Agenda 1. The New BC Science Curriculum > What’s changed 2. Foundations of the New BC Science Curriculum 3.

Example of Big Ideas & Content Standards
Big Idea for Grade 1 Biology is:
‘Living things have features and behaviours that help them survive in their environment’
There are four Content Standards for the biology unit:1. classification of living and non-living things2. names of local plants and animals3. structural features of living things in the local environment4. behaviour features of living things in the local environment

Unifying Concepts – Why are they tied to the Big Ideas
• Larger ideas that span across all branches of science – biology, chemistry, physic, earth/space

• Is about students seeing themselves in the science – what’s important to them, what’s relevant in their community
• Place-based approach to science often experiential and involves teaching in the local natural environment
• Fosters personal connections, is student-centred and interdisciplinary
