Investigating Government

Hello grade 5 students!

Today in the lab we will be learning more about the Canadian government. You will be using the websites found here to complete your Investigating Government table.

Working with a partner, you will answer the questions asked on your Investigating Government page. Once you have completed your page, you will add one comment to this post telling the rest of the class something interesting that you have learned about one of the three levels of government.
