Grade 5 DL Course Descriptions
DL Standard
- English Language Arts 5 (ELA5)
Unit studies using Accelerated Christian Education materials: English (12 PACEs ), Canadian Literature (an indepth study using 2 Canadian novels with regular conference calls), and Word Building unit studies (12 PACEs). Teacher will also give assignments.
- Mathematics 5 (MA5)
God is the Master Mathematician and as such, He has created us with the capacity to quantify and qualify. Numbers let us say how much we know, while their endlessness shows how little we know. Basic number facts point to God’s steadfast character, while exponential notation points to His infinitude. The best way to understand math is to do math. The fundamental premise of Saxon Math series, or the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum is that learners will best be served by increments instead of units, and continuous review throughout the year.
- Science 5 (SC5)
You will learn the basic structure and function of the human respiratory, digestive, circulatory, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems and how they are interconnected. You will study simple machines, including lever, wedge, pulley, ramp, screw, and wheel, design a compound machine, and describe applications of machines used in daily life in BC communities. You will analyze how BC’s living and non-living resources are used, learn methods of extracting and processing them, describe the potential environmental impact of their use, and analyze the Aboriginal concept of interconnectedness. You will also study the steps in designing an experiment and the variables that can be changed.
