Overview: Programs for Students in Grade 4

• An Urban Oasis (fall and spring)

Available at High Park or your local green space, students actively explore how energy flows through a habitat. Abiotic elements (sun, water, air, and nutrients) are the key to energy transfer. Students learn about life cycles and webs involved; connections to Science & Technology

• Co-operative Culture / Learning Skills  (fall, spring)

In this fun, interactive day, students learn the value of working in teams and what takes to co-operate and achieve difficult things together; connections to Health & Physical Education - Living Skills

• Habitats and Communities and YOU! - Greenhouse Program (fall, winter, early spring)

Explore the plant communities found in different habitats in the safety of TUSC’s greenhouse; connections to Science & Technology

• Habitats and Communities - Virtual Greenhouse Program (fall, winter, early spring)

Explore the plant communities found in different habitats in the safety of TUSC’s greenhouse; connections to Science & Technology 

• Rocks Around Town - Virtual (fall, winter, spring)

Offered over two virtual sessions. Young geologists begin by exploring the rock cycle digitally and kinaesthetically through various interactive activities, then  go on a virtual field trip with a TUSC staff to inspect how rocks are used in construction; connections to Science & Technology  

• Rock Walk (fall, winter, spring)

Armed with a map, photo clues, magnifiers and cameras, students find, describe, identify and photograph the rocks found on selected buildings/structures on the campus of the University of Toronto; connections to Science & Technology
