The Concept Project

Throughout the new K-6 Alberta curricula are concepts that are central to student learning. Many of the concepts are subject or discipline related such as "punctuation" or "lake." 

Other concepts areas are broader and cross subjects or disciplines. Change is an example of one of those concepts. Students examine "change on Earth" in Science, "change in pattern" in Math, "changes in the body" in Physical Education and Wellness, and "character change" in English Language Arts and Literature.

This document is meant to be a reference to all of the main concepts, specific and broad, in the new Alberta Curricula.  While the focus is on Science, concepts from other curricula including Social Studies are being added.

Keep in mind that broad concepts are transferable so many concepts in this site are applicable to multiple disciplines.
