Alberta is the focus of Grade 4 Social Studies. During the first few months of the school year we will learn about the physical geography, climate, geology and paleontology of our province. We will answer questions like, "Where is Alberta located in relation to the other provinces and territories of Canada?", "What are the major geographical and natural vegetation regions, landforms and bodies of water in Alberta?", "What are the factors which determine climate in the diverse regions of Alberta?", "What are the significant natural resources in Alberta and where are they located?", and "How are Alberta's provincial parks, protected areas and the national parks in Alberta important to the sustainability of Alberta's natural environment?".
