"Le Passeport pour la Vie favorise la sensibilisation, l'évaluation, le développement et la promotion de la littératie physique chez les étudiants et les enseignants. Les quatre composantes de la littératie physique évaluées dans le Passeport pour la Vie sont la Participation active, les Compétences de vie, les Compétences de conditionnement physique et les Compétences motrices. Le Passeport pour la Vie combine les réponses des élèves à des questionnaires en ligne avec les données résultant de leur participation à des tâches de conditionnement physique et de compétences motrices que les enseignants administrent et observent.

Sur la base des résultats des évaluations de la littératie physique, le site Web du Passeport pour la Vie génère un passeport étudiant et un passeport de classe. Ces passeports mettent en évidence les lacunes dans les niveaux de littératie physique des élèves et aident les enseignants à adapter leur programmation et leur instruction pour fournir des leçons ciblées pertinentes tant au niveau de la classe qu'au niveau de l'élève. Les résultats du passeport sont conviviaux pour les enseignants, les parents et les étudiants, offrant à ces groupes cibles une plateforme pour engager des conversations significatives sur les résultats de l'évaluation de la littératie physique des élèves afin de soutenir les améliorations futures."

Passport for Life supports the awareness, assessment, development and advancement of physical
literacy among students and teachers. The four components of physical literacy that are assessed in
Passport for Life are Active Participation, Living Skills, Fitness Skills and Movement Skills. Passport for Life combines student responses to online questionnaires with student data resulting from
their participation in fitness and movement skill tasks that teachers administer and observe.
Based on the results of the physical literacy assessments, the Passport for Life website generates a
Student Passport and a Class Passport. These passports highlight gaps in students’ physical literacy
levels and support teachers in adapting their programming and instruction to provide targeted lessons
that are relevant at both the class and student- levels. The passport results are user-friendly for
teachers, parents and students and offer these target groups a platform to engage in meaningful
conversation about student physical literacy assessment outcomes to support future improvements.

PhET Sims are now available in HTML5 as well!

Simulations can be sorted by subject area or grade. This is very helpful.

PhET is a collection of interactive computer simulations for teaching and learning physics, chemistry, math, and other sciences.

Simulations can be used directly on the site or downloaded and used that way.

The simulations are animated, interactive, and game-like environments where students learn through exploration. They emphasize the connections between real-life and the underlying science. These great activities help students visualize abstract concepts!

Over 150 simulations, ready to use and ready to bring concepts to life for your students in Math & Science!

This mini unit plan is taken right from Ag in the classroom. Lesson plans and handouts are included. Topics discussed include, food waste, soil science, plant biology, and climate change.

Students will love this pop art lesson that focuses on the principle of movement. It also makes a great abstract portrait that is frame-able!

In his lesson, students create pop art-inspired self portraits.

NOTE: You will need an alternate "photo to sketch" website / app than the one mentioned in this lesson. Use the idea presented here for inspiration.

PowerPlay Young Entrepreneurs is a highly engaging program that is designed for classrooms ranging from grades 4 to 8. Students have fun exploring their passions, talents and interests as they plan and carry out their own business ventures. They make real products, earn real money and donate a portion of their profits to charity.For more information about the program, visit powerplayforsuccess.com.

This is a great project to do later in the year once students have practiced independent research skills. Students are put into groups, and assigned a "big idea" form the power and authority strand to research and present to the class. 

From The University of Waterloo:

"Many instructors in engineering, math and science have students solve “problems”. But are their students solving true problems or mere exercises? The former stresses critical thinking and decision­-making skills whereas the latter requires only the application of previously learned procedures. True problem solving is the process of applying a method – not known in advance – to a problem that is subject to a specific set of conditions and that the problem solver has not seen before, in order to obtain a satisfactory solution."

Details are provided on the principles of problem-solving as well as each step of the process outlined below:

Define the Problem
Think About it
Plan a Solution
Carry Out the Plan
Look Back

This resource includes a teachers guide consisting of 9 lessons to help students explore wetlands and a wide variety of ecological concepts, and a student project guide for Grades 4 to 6 to support the lessons. Developed by Ducks Unlimited.

This is a lesson designed to teach Elementary students about Treaty 6.

The script has been divided into four scenes, each taking place at a different location. To help students make sense of the locations, here is an outline map of Canada with capital cities.

I have listed the readers in each scene to allow you the opportunity to include all class members in the Reader’s Theatre experience.

New words and locations are identified by an asterisk * to give teachers an opportunity to stop the reading to discuss the term.

Photographs of the people involved in the Treaty process are included at the end of the script.

The Ready, Check, Go! Series is a physical activity tracker designed to help children and their parents/guardians understand the importance and enjoyment of incorporating regular daily physical activity in ways that suit their personal beliefs and needs.

The Ready, Check, Go! Series includes:
- Participant/Student Workbook to track physical activity (ages 9-11 and 12-14), and Leader/Teacher, and Parent Guides
- Activities to promote the importance of participating in regular physical activity
- Goal setting worksheets to help enhance physical activity behaviours
- Inclusive activities for children of all abilities

The objective of this program is to help children, youth and their parents/guardians understand the importance of regular physical activity; their current physical activity behaviours; and strategies to help them engage in more physical activities. This knowledge can help increase the amount of physical activity children and youth engage in, value and enjoy, in ways that suit their personal beliefs and needs. Specifically, the Ready, Check, Go! is a learning activity to help children aged 9-14 discover more about:
- How physically active they are on typical day;
- The different types of activities they undertake, when, and for how long;
- The intensity (moderate- to vigorous) of their physical activity;
- Identifying ways that they can be more active.
