Grade 5 - Ontario Science STEM - Full Year Bundle - Updated in 2026

Updated in 2026 - Grade 5 - Ontario Science STEM - FULL YEAR BUNDLE!

500+ worksheets and your entire science year planned! This bundle covers all expectations New Ontario 2022 Science Curriculum - Grade 5.

These massive units contains readings, diagrams, experiments, true/false, and much more!

***Strand A: STEM/Coding has been added to this unit at no extra charge!

Most importantly, we have made cross-curriculum connections to the grade 5 language program. Students will practice reading comprehension strategies (making connections, questioning, visualizing, and inferencing) as they work through this unit.

Check out the previews of these units to learn more about how it can benefit your students. We know you will love this no-prep, just print or upload to Google, time-saving resource!
