EFBA est une organisation à but non lucratif qui promeut le bilinguisme, en particulier en enseignant le français aux enfants de 5 à 11 ans dans la région de la baie de San Francisco. Pour ses programmes parascolaires destinés aux enfants suivant la filière des locuteurs natifs, EFBA a créé des outils éducatifs gratuits sous licence open source.

Les Cahiers Virgule comprennent plusieurs supports éducatifs : des manuels pour les élèves, des guides pédagogiques pour les enseignants, des ressources numériques MP3 pour des activités d'écoute, et un jeu éducatif. Ils sont conçus autour des objectifs éducatifs de maîtrise de la langue, de l'orthographe et de la grammaire, ainsi que de la culture francophone, le tout dans une approche ludique et collaborative. Ils offrent différentes façons d'apprendre, d'utiliser, de découvrir, de jouer et d'échanger.

Pour répondre au mieux aux besoins des élèves et à leur progression, les manuels sont organisés par groupe d'âge :

"Les petits Francophones" : de 5 à 7 ans - PF1 (complètement non-lecteurs) et PF2 (lecteurs dans la langue majoritaire)
"Les Moyens Francophones" : de 7 à 9 ans - MF1 et MF2
"Les Grands Francophones" : de 9 à 11 ans - GF1 et GF2

Witnesses to BC History: Evaluating Primary Sources

Volcanoes show us how the earth changes. Volcanoes can be made of lava, gases, hot steam, ground-up rocks and melted rock called lava. Scientists study volcanoes and the earths movement and try to understand how they erupt.

Students explore a variety of sources for information about voting. They evaluate the information to determine if it is fact or opinion, and then create a graffiti wall about voting.

The learning guide was developed in collaboration with a Mi'kmaw Advisory Committee to ensure that the activities provided are culturally relevant. The video, Wabanaki: People of the Dawn (Part One) provides a snapshot of the history and culture of the Mi'kmaq in Nova Scotia as revealed by the discovery of artifacts in the Mersey River area of Nova Scotia. It also begins to unravel the connection between the archaeological past and the lives of the Mi'kmaw as conveyed through oral history and traditions. The video gives us a glimpse of how the Mi'kmaq may have lived thousands of years ago and demonstrates the interconnectedness of the land and water with the lives of the Mi'kmaq.

Prepared with pre-algebra or algebra 1 classes in mind, this module leads students through the process of graphing data and finding a line of best fit while exploring the characteristics of linear equations in algebraic and graphic formats. Then, these topics are connected to real-world experiences in which people use linear functions. During the module, students use these scientific concepts to solve the following hypothetical challenge: You are a new researcher in a lab, and your boss has just given you your first task to analyze a set of data. It being your first assignment, you ask an undergraduate student working in your lab to help you figure it out. She responds that you must determine what the data represents and then find an equation that models the data. You believe that you will be able to determine what the data represents on your own, but you ask for further help modeling the data. In response, she says she is not completely sure how to do it, but gives a list of equations that may fit the data. This module is built around the legacy cycle, a format that incorporates educational research feindings on how people best learn.

A boy on a family backpacking adventure discovers an amazing waterfall and decides he wants to climb to the top. The boy becomes a leader and the family bonds when the boy challenges them all to climb it

Students will analyze the properties of waves as they interact with other objects. Students will design, build, and test a structure designed to withstand the force of a tsunami wave.

Students are presented with a challenge question concerning color blindness and asked to use engineering principles to design devices to help people who are color blind. Using the legacy cycle as a model, this unit is comprised of five lessons designed to teach wave properties, the electromagnetic spectrum, and the anatomy of the human eye in an interactive format that introduces engineering applications and real-world references. It culminates with an activity in which student teams apply what they have learned to design devices that can aid people with colorblindness in distinguishing colors— as evidenced by their creation of brainstorming posters, descriptive brochures and short team presentations, as if they were engineers reporting to clients. Through this unit, students become more aware of the connections between the biology of the eye and the physical science concept of light, and gain an understanding of how those scientific concepts relate to the field of engineering.

This historical document on the Saskatchewan First Nations' contribution to Canada's freedom and democracy was published by the Saskatchewan First Nations Veterans’ Association. It outlines the history, contributions and stories of First Nations' peoples in the development of our country.

Questions about weather clear up when students use what they learned from their books to create a presentation to share with the rest of the class.

In this unit of study students learn how patterns can be used to predict weather. They also learn about how climates vary in different regions of the world. Finally, students learn how to create a structure that can withstand weather conditions in different climates. This unit integrates nine STEM attributes and was developed as part of the South Metro-Salem STEM Partnership's Teacher Leadership Team. Any instructional materials are included within this unit of study.

Students analyze the elements of a novel in many different genres and then hyperlink these pieces together on student-constructed Websites.

Through a series of three lessons and one activity, students are introduced to inertia, forces and Newton's three laws of motion. For each lesson, a combination of class demonstrations and PowerPoint® presentations are used to explain, show and relate the concepts to engineering. Lesson 1 starts with inertia, forces and Newton's first law of motion. Lesson 2 builds on lesson 1 with s review and then introduces Newton's second law of motion. Lesson 3 builds on the previous two lessons with a review and then introduces Newton's third law of motion. In a culminating activity, students apply their knowledge of forces, friction, acceleration and gravity in an experiment to measure the average acceleration of a textbook pulled along a table by varying weights, and then test the effects of friction on different surfaces.

Through four lesson and four activities, students are introduced to the logic behind programming. Starting with very basic commands, they develop programming skills while they create and test programs using LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots. Students apply new programming tools move blocks, wait blocks, loops and switches in order to better navigate robots through mazes. Through programming challenges, they become familiar with the steps of the engineering design process. The unit is designed to be motivational for student learning, so they view programming as a fun activity. This unit is the third in a series. PowerPoint® presentations, quizzes and worksheets are provided throughout the unit.
