Bring together six Grade 5 Science learning stations activities with 30 stations covering scientific questions, fair testing, variables, evidence, and data communication. Designed around Alberta science inquiry topics, this full-year bundle gives teachers five stations per resource, making it easier to revisit investigation skills at different points in the school year without searching for separate activities.

🔬 What's Included

The six Grade 5 Science learning stations resources are organised around connected investigation skills:

Planning Questions and Fair Tests
• Variables and Fair Testing: Five stations connecting variable identification with planning controlled investigations.
• Scientific Question Formation: Five stations focused on developing scientific questions that can guide an investigation.
• Fair Testing Investigations: Five stations examining how scientists make comparisons and keep testing conditions consistent.

Working With Scientific Evidence
• Scientific Evidence and Investigation: Five stations exploring how evidence relates to scientific investigations.
• Evidence and Investigation: Another five-station activity for examining evidence and the investigation process, providing a separate set of stations on this connected topic.
• Data Communication and Evidence: Five stations connecting scientific data, evidence, and the communication of investigation findings.

📋 Topics Covered

• Scientific question formation and investigation planning
• Identifying variables in scientific investigations
• Fair testing and controlled conditions
• Comparing evidence from investigations
• Using scientific evidence to examine findings
• Communicating scientific data and results
• Connecting questions, testing methods, and evidence

🏫 How Teachers Can Use It

Set up the Grade 5 science stations as classroom rotations, with small groups moving between five activities focused on a particular investigation skill. The separate station sets also make it practical to return to fair testing or evidence later when students need another opportunity to work with those ideas.

For a science inquiry unit, start with scientific question formation, move into variables and fair testing, and then introduce the evidence and data communication activities. You can also select individual resources for small-group review rather than using all six together. The collection focuses on scientific investigation skills, not every Grade 5 science curriculum unit.

💰 Bundle Savings

The six-resource bundle costs $16.80, compared with $24.00 when purchased separately. That's a saving of $7.20 (30%) for all 30 learning stations.

Keeping these related Grade 5 Science activities together makes it easier to choose a station set when your class is working on questions, testing methods, evidence, or communicating results.
