SBI3C

This website was created as a comprehensive resource for educators teaching SBI3C. While it is modeled after the Ontario Curriculum, it will be relevant to anyone interested in teaching or learning more about microbiology, mammalian anatomy, or plants in the natural environment. The content of this site is underpinned by a STEAM (Science, Technology, Arts, Engineering, Arts, and Math) framework, recognizing the power of the meaningful, seamless integration of content areas into authentic, problem-based learning opportunities. Beyond simply presenting lessons related to Science curriculum, we aim to engage students, prompting them to use the engineering design process and technology, requiring mathematical literacy and application in the process. As advocates of STEAM over STEM, we believe that the Arts (as well as literacy and the Humanities) cannot be separated from our explorations of the world around us, and thus we prioritize an emphasis on topics related to Science, Technology, Society and the Environment (STSE). We hope that you find the content on this site useful and welcome both feedback and discussion, as well as the use of our resources with proper acknowledgement.
