Grade 3 Science Teacher Toolkit for Matter, Energy, Earth Systems, and Living Things

Make science lessons engaging and easy to teach with this Grade 3 Science Teacher Toolkit, created for the 2023 Alberta Science curriculum.

This resource is packed with anchor charts, Tier 3 vocabulary cards, sorting activities, and interactive games to help students explore big science ideas with confidence.

Whether you’re teaching whole-class lessons, running small groups, or setting up centers, this toolkit provides everything you need to make science visual, hands-on, and interactive all year long.

Note: These materials are already included in my full-year Grade 3 Science Units. This toolkit is designed for teachers who want only the anchor charts, vocabulary, and activities without the full unit plans.
