ecozone: a region that has particular features, such as landforms, plants, animals, and climate (example: Taiga Shield)

climate: the type of weather that is usual or normal for an area over a long period of time (example: the Boreal Shield has long, cold winters and short cool summers)

First Nations peoples: original peoples who lived in Canada (example: Denesųłiné)

non-renewable resource: a resource from nature that cannot be replaced once it is gone (example: oil)

LM 1–2: Using Maps to Describe Location

Answers will vary depending on the locations selected and estimation methods used.

LM 1–3: Exploring Saskatchewan’s Ecozones

Taiga Shield

Natural Vegetation: Shrubs, lichens, jack pine, white spruce, birch

Landforms and Water: Rocky with low, rolling hills

Climate: Long, cold winters; short, cool summers

Wildlife: Caribou, wolves, snowshoe hares, arctic terns, grouse, arctic grayling

Boreal Shield

Natural Vegetation: Black spruce, white spruce, jack pine, balsam fir, poplar, birch

Landforms and Water: Rolling hills with many lakes and rivers; soil varies from sandy to rocky

Climate: Long, cold winters; short, cool summers

Wildlife: Black bears, arctic fox, deer, lynx, hawks, loons, lake trout, northern pike, toads, frogs

Boreal Plain

Natural Vegetation: Jack pine, black spruce, white spruce, tamarack, aspen, birch, cranberry, dogwood

Landforms and Water: Low-lying valleys; flat plains; many rivers and small lakes

Climate: Long, cold, snowy winters; short, warm, moist summers

Wildlife: Beaver, elk, black bears, moose, grouse, rabbits, warblers, hawks, walleye, northern pike, lake trout

Wildlife: Pronghorn, elk, deer, badgers, rabbits, sandpipers, sparrows, turtles, snakes, frogs, lake sturgeon, walleye, rock bass, yellow perch

LM 1–4: Living in Saskatchewan’s Ecozones

Answers will vary. Sample answers follow:

Taiga Shield

Possible Benefit: Limited air pollution Clues and conclusions: Fewer people means limited vehicle use

Possible Challenge: Isolation and loneliness Clues and conclusions: Not many people live in this area and it is quite far to travel to communities in the south.

Boreal Shield

Possible Benefit: Outdoor recreation, such as fishing, hunting, boating, camping, hiking Clues and conclusions: Many rivers, lakes, and forests with wide variety of wildlife

Possible Challenge: Limited access to consumer goods and technology Clues and conclusions: Rolling hills, lakes, and rivers make it more difficult to transport goods. Fewer people living in the area make it less profitable to provide goods and services.

Boreal Plain

Possible Benefit: Access to urban centres for goods and services Clues and conclusions: Larger communities, such as Prince Albert, La Ronge, and Meadow Lake, are in this ecozone.

Possible Challenge: Short growing season Clues and conclusions: Long winters and short summers

Prairie

Possible Benefit: Variety of food crops Clues and conclusions: Gently rolling land and soil good for farming and ranching

Possible Challenge: Traffic congestion and crowds Clues and conclusions: Most of the population of Saskatchewan lives in this ecozone.

LM 1–5: Geography and Lifestyle

Answers will vary.

LM 1–6: Saskatchewan Architecture

Answers will vary depending on which examples students select.
