2. Where do we get our water
3. How do we make it safe to drink
4. How does that compare with other areas of the world, specifically in developing countries
5. Using the engineering design process and ADST curriculum to design solutions to solve problems.

• In the environment: the nature of sustainable practice’s around BC’s resources.
• First People’s conceptsof interconnectedness: everything in the environment is one / connected (e.g. sun, sky, plants and animals) and we have the responsibility to care for them.

Grade 6

• Mixtures: separated using a difference in component properties

• Density (e.g. centrifuge or settling)
• Particle Size (e.g. sieves, filters)

• Local First Peoples knowledge: historical and current First People’s use of separation and extraction methods.
