1.3. Introduction/Set
1.3.1. Activate
1.3.1.1. Introduction to Fluids (10 minutes) Define fluids as substances that flow and take the shape of their containers. Discuss examples of fluids, such as water, air, and oil.
1.3.2. Acquire
1.3.2.1. Properties of Fluids (20 minutes) Explain the concept of viscosity as the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Introduce the terms "viscous" and "non-viscous" and provide examples of each. Discuss density as a measure of how much mass a fluid has for a given volume. Demonstrate the concept of density using simple experiments or visuals.

1.3.3.1. Applications of Fluids (20 minutes) Students will watch science demo on buoyancy/density. Students will create their own experiments with lab reports. Ex, they can record how long objects take to sink in syrup, or students can test different objects to see if they float or sink.
1.3.3.2. Video Demo of Buoyancy/Density
1.3.4. Review and Closure (5 minutes) Summarize the key points covered in the lesson. Encourage students to think about how fluids are present and essential in their daily lives. Assign a short homework task for students to identify and document examples of fluids they encounter outside the classroom.

2.3. Introduction/Set
2.3.1. Activate
2.3.1.1. Introduction (5 minutes): Begin by asking students if they know any Indigenous languages spoken in Canada. List their responses on the chart paper or whiteboard. Explain that Cree is one of the Indigenous languages spoken in Canada, and that it has been spoken for thousands of years by Indigenous peoples who have lived on this land for generations. Introduce the Cree numbers by writing them on the chart paper or whiteboard and pronouncing them for the students. Use audio or video resources to help with pronunciation if needed.
2.3.2. Acquire
2.3.2.1. (25 minutes):Distribute flashcards with Cree numbers (1-10) to each student. Instruct students to practice counting from one to ten in Cree on their own using the flashcards. After a few minutes, have students come back to the whole class and ask them to count out loud in Cree from one to ten using their flashcards. Write the Cree numbers on the chart paper or whiteboard as the students count them out loud. Distribute handouts with numbers (1-10) written in Cree and English to each student. Instruct students to color the pictures on the handouts and practice writing the numbers in Cree.
2.3.3. Apply
2.3.3.1. Conclusion (10 minutes): Have students come back to the whole class and count from one to ten in Cree together using the chart paper or whiteboard. Ask students if they have any questions or if they would like to share anything they learned about Cree today. End the lesson by reminding students that Indigenous languages are an important part of Canada's history and that learning about them is a way to show respect for Indigenous cultures.
