Rationale
In this unit, students take an in depth look at Albertas natural resources and how their existence
impacts communities, employment, and internal relationships with Albertas FMNI population.
Students also examine Albertas paleontological history and discover that the land we now call
Alberta was once a home to many species of dinosaur. This outcome will be complimented by a
virtual tour of the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta.
