Summary: This year my students created a concept map to summarize their learning in the science unit of
animal adaptations and classification. I created a list of terms and concepts that students must have on
their map, and offered opportunities for students to add their own knowledge. Prior to the assignment
the students and I created an assessment rubric to evaluate their learning.

The Incredible Art Department isn't just for teachers and artists. You can find sections just for kids. Below are sections of the site that are geared to students and children. Click on the images to be transported to the location. This website includes activities, games, art tutorials, student art galleries and cartoons and cartoon lessons.

These interactive videos are meant to stimulate creativity and a hands-on activity at home.

Ask Dr. Universe is a science-education project from Washington State University. Kids can send Dr. Universe any question they may have about history, geography, plants, animals, technology, engineering, math, culture, and more.

Type of assessment, What it assesses, What it looks like in the science classroom

Students will learn the life cycle of a honey bee and their importance to agriculture through pollination.

A travel agency is trying to boost travel to different parts of the world by increasing the advertising and selling vacation packages. You have been hired to make a presentation to sell a travel package

Working as a group, develop a short presentation to the class to sell your vacation package. Presentations can be in the form of a talk show that will be include a digital powerpoint, website or recorded aided by a green screen. You will present your talk show to the class.

Biomimicry in Youth Education: A Resource Toolkit for K-12 Educators is a digital flipbook indexing over 80 biomimicry education resources, selected to assist teachers working with students from kindergarten through high school.

The collection includes quality lesson plans, curricular units, digital media, and more, gleaned from a broad survey of available materials. For educators new to the subject of biomimicry, the toolkit also offers a thorough introductory section containing an orientation to biomimicry’s core concepts and suggested strategies for communicating those ideas to students.

Biomimicry is an approach to sustainable innovation that looks to living things for inspiration. In the classroom, biomimicry has helped improve student performance in STEM subjects, encourages appreciation for biodiversity, and cultivates a willingness to sustain the environment.

Over the past several years that I have taught Science 9, I always assigned a major
independent project to cover the outcomes in the Exploring Our Universe unit. Since this
unit is a favorite with my students, I began to integrate some instructional pieces above and
beyond their major projects, and ended up with a loose version of a blended learning unit.
Unlike the other units in Science 9, Exploring Our Universe lends itself well to blended
learning as the content can be easily comprehended by most students without lecture-style
teaching. Instead, students are provided with a range of instructional experiences, which
include small group work, computer-based learning, individual work areas, and teacherlead
small groups. Students have a choice for most activities, which means all the outcomes
will be covered, but the depth and areas of focus will vary from student to student. All
activities are self-pacing, and will receive either a formative or summative assessment
throughout the unit. As you will see, some activities work well as for both small group work
and individual work areas. We use Pearson Saskatchewan Science 9 as a textbook for this
unit

Learning Outcome HB5.2 - Investigate the structure, function, and major organs
of one or more human body systems such as the digestive, excretory,
respiratory, circulatory, nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems. [SI, TPS]
Goal: Identified areas of the Science 5 curriculum where student development of
models of scientific concepts would be appropriate.

Education for Innovation Resources
Rideau Hall Foundation (RHF) has resources called: Education for Innovation:Grades 1-8 and Education for Innovation: Grades 7-12.

These resources provide activities educators can use to help students develop innovation skills applicable to all subjects and sectors, from science and technology to arts and social sciences.

RHF is an independent and non-political charitable organization that fosters a culture of innovation in Canada by celebrating our national accomplishments as well as providing a platform for innovators to grow and connect. The education resource guides are available for free download at: www.canadianinnovationspace.ca.

An exploration of activities and lessons to learn about different careers in STEM

Demonstrate an understanding of irrational numbers in both radical (including mixed radical) and exponent forms through: representing: identifying: simplifying: ordering: relating to rational numbers: applying exponent laws.

Be a change maker; design solutions.

The next generation of problem-solvers need more than technical skills and expertise. They need experiences that allow them to see the designed world and its impact on people, collaborate and empathize across differences, and leverage their skills to redesign the world around them to meet the needs of all people in their communities.

This amazing collection of activities includes boards for:
*Math
*Lego at home
*Cardboard STEAM
*Unplugged Coding
*Video call challenges
*Icebreakers
*ELA
*Mindfulness
*Rain day STEM
*Rock, paper, scissors
*STEAM challenges for home and school
*Outside STEAM
*Winter STEAM

This 14-minute video introduces the key features and differences of the new Common Core State standards for math. It looks at the purpose of the standards for mathematical practice and how they should be integrated with content. It looks at how teaching fewer topics in each grade will change educator planning. And it discusses how the new standards can help close the achievement gap.

Students will be introduced to composting and vermicomposting and how it impacts the health of our soil.
