Hands-On Social Studies Saskatchewan is filled with a year’s worth of classroom tested activities conveniently bound in one book. It is divided into four units:

• Interactions and Interdependence,
• Dynamic Relationships,
• Power and Authority, and
• Wealth and Resources.

With materials for both teachers and students, it includes the same great features found in all of our Hands-On resources:

• complete, easy-to-follow lessons;
• visuals and blackline masters;
• literacy connections;
• and assessment tools.

Exciting, new features are inquiry questions, cross-curriculum connections, and a guide to developing social studies skills. This resource, developed by experienced educators, matches the Saskatchewan social studies curriculum, which focuses on the province of Saskatchewan.
