Students continue to explore the story of building a pyramid, learning about the simple machine called a pulley. They learn how a pulley can be used to change the direction of applied forces and move/lift extremely heavy objects, and the powerful mechanical advantages of using a multiple-pulley system. Students perform a simple demonstration to see the mechanical advantage of using a pulley, and they identify modern day engineering applications of pulleys. In a hands-on activity, they see how a pulley can change the direction of a force, the difference between fixed and movable pulleys, and the mechanical advantage gained with multiple / combined pulleys. They also learn the many ways engineers use pulleys for everyday purposes.

Students imagine they are stranded on an island and must create the brightest light possible with the meager supplies they have on hand in order to gain the attention of a rescue airplane. In small groups, students create circuits using items in their "survival kits" to create maximum voltage, measured with a multimeter and two LED lights. To complete the activity, students act as engineers by using the given materials to create circuits that produces the highest voltage and light up the most LED lights. They apply their knowledge of how voltage differs in a series circuit and a parallel circuit to design their solutions.

“We have a story to tell” is the initial statement from the latest installment in the Power of Indigenous Tourism video series produced by ITAC in partnership with Destination Canada.
The video series focuses on the overall social and economic benefits that are being created through Aboriginal tourism from coast to coast to coast. Within this second five-minute video, First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people from across Canada share stories that highlight how tourism has allowed them to grow, adapt, and evolve to engage with visitors.

Attention Saskatchewan high school science teachers!
Looking for some FREE resources and opportunities that will connect the curriculum with real-world applications as it pertains to: health and wellness; medicine, nursing, & biomedical engineering?
Check out these 3 resources for science teachers to use to help reach students who might be interested in healthcare careers (these are available gratis):
1. Science teacher hub that gives teachers access to 50+ resources that they can use in the classroom (medical mystery cases, mentorship videos, what different medical specialists do etc..) (https://www.premedskl.com/teacherhub/)
2. Quarterly Medical Bs for high school students - which are case-based competitions (think Jeopardy meets WebMD!). (https://www.premedskl.com/medicalb/)
3. IDEA Scholarships to PreMedSKL, a 1-year advanced curriculum and mentorship program for high school students interested in exploring a career in medicine and healthcare. The IDEA Scholarship is for students from communities that are traditionally under-represented in medicine (ie Indigenous, Black, LatinX and other communities). (https://www.premedskl.com/idea-scholarship/)

The Prusik Knot was developed in 1931 by Dr.Karl Prusik (sometime president of the Austrian Mountaineering Club and often misspelled “Prussik”.) It appears to be identical in structure to a knot described by Ashley for hoisting a spar. (ABOK # 1763, p 300), but Ashley did not name this knot and did not describe the slide and grip feature. The knot requires a “Prusik Loop”.

Uncountable times every day with the merest flick of a finger each one of us calls on electricity to do our bidding. What would your life be like without electricity? Students begin learning about electricity with an introduction to the most basic unit in ordinary matter, the atom. Once the components of an atom are addressed and understood, students move into the world of electricity. First, they explore static electricity, followed by basic current electricity concepts such as voltage, resistance and open/closed circuits. Next, they learn about that wonderful can full of chemicals the battery. Students may get a "charge" as they discover the difference between a conductor and an insulator. The unit concludes with lessons investigating simple circuits arranged "in series" and "in parallel," including the benefits and unique features associated with each. Through numerous hands-on activities, students move cereal and foam using charged combs, use balloons to explore electricity and charge polarization, build and use electroscopes to evaluate objects' charge intensities, construct simple switches using various materials in circuits that light bulbs, build and use simple conductivity testers to evaluate materials and solutions, build and experiment with simple series and parallel circuits, design and build their own series circuit flashlight, and draw circuits using symbols.

What is a Question Creation Chart (QC2)? The Question Creation Chart (also known as a Q-Chart or Q-Matrix) provides students with a framework for developing a range of personally meaningful questions, encompassing both close-ended factual questions and open-ended, divergent questions. (Adapted from Weiderhold, 1997).
Why use it? To provide students with a framework for creating their own divergent and convergent questions on a specific topic. To encourage students to think deeply about a topic. To help students strengthen their understanding and comprehension of a topic. To stimulate students’ prior knowledge about a topic. To collect information about students’ knowledge and understanding of a topic.

"Free self-paced quizzes to review, assess, and engage—in class and at home."
This is a great formative assessment tool that makes learning and reviewing feel like a game.
This tool is great for students when working individually (compared to Kahoot! and Quizlet where the class plays together). Kids could do them at a station, centre or even for homework.
