Ocean Wise Kits pédagogiques pour les éducateurs et les étudiant(e)s Sur Ocean Wise, nous aidons les éducateurs à introduire la culture océanique dans leurs classes et à donner aux élèves les moyens d'agir tout en renforçant leur lien avec l'océan. C'est exactement ce que font nos kits pédagogiques. S'appuyant sur les dernières données scientifiques et sur les recherches menées dans le cadre de nos propres initiatives de conservation, sur le boisement marin, sur la pollution des océans, sur les baleines, les fruits de mer et la pêche, sur les connaissances indigènes, ainsi que sur des pédagogies actives et constructivistes, chaque kit aborde les questions interdisciplinaires du changement climatique.
Chaque kit pédagogique est disponible pour l'école primaire (de la 3e à la 6e année), le collège (de la 7e à la 8e année) et le lycée (de la 9e à la 12e année), et est traduit en français et en anglais. Le guide de l'éducateur fournit des conseils détaillés sur la manière de mener les activités en classe et sur la façon dont les activités sont liées aux concepts du programme de cours spécifique. Les élèves reçoivent un cahier d'exercices pour réaliser des activités amusantes et interactives spécifiques à leur âge, telles que des jeux en ligne, des collages, des discussions, etc. En 2022, nos kits ont touché 81 000 étudiant(e)s de 79 pays.

The ocean and atmosphere continually exchange particles and gases in a kind of ongoing "dialogue" that influences regional and global climate. This site explains the chemical link between the ocean and atmosphere. Emphasis is on the ocean's ability to store and release water vapor and carbon dioxide, both of which contribute to the greenhouse effect. Features include text, a scientific illustration, and links to other relevant topics, data sets, and satellite missions.

Ocean Watch reports provide snapshots of coastal ocean health
Keeping our coasts and oceans healthy starts with understanding what is happening. The Coastal Ocean Research Institute (CORI) was established to do just that. Ocean Watch delves into what’s happening in our coastal ecosystems through a series of articles organized into seven themes: species and habitats, clean water, sense of place and wellbeing, coastal development and livelihoods, stewardship and governance, oceanography and climate change, and seafood. Our aim is to produce independent, credible, and engaging information so that you are inspired to make better decisions for nature and all the people who live along the coast in British Columbia.
From the exposed west coasts of Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii, to the deep fjords and channels cutting into the British Columbia mainland, to the sparkling Salish Sea, diversity along the B.C. Coast is unrivalled. A rich array of sea life has supported Indigenous peoples along this coast since time immemorial and settlers have contributed cultural diversity over the past few centuries. Much of the B.C. coast is still relatively pristine, but the impacts of human activities extend far beyond population centers. Acknowledging that population growth, increasing resource extraction, and uncertain impacts of climate change are stressing the integrity of coastal ecosystems, many residents are seeking ways to improve the ways we interact with British Columbia's coast.

Howe Sound is a remarkable blend of wilderness and accessibility. It sits directly adjacent to the growing metropolis of Vancouver, yet also contains fantastic wild places and natural recreational opportunities. With the population and development growing quickly, many are wondering how it can maintain its ecological values and way of life. This report provides information to help guide decisions as the area grows and changes. Working with scientists and other collaborators, we have produced a series of articles on key elements of Howe Sound.

Students further their understanding of the engineering design process (EDP) while being introduced to assistive technology devices and biomedical engineering. They are given a fictional client statement and are tasked to follow the steps of the EDP to design and build small-scale, off-road wheelchair prototypes. As part of the EDP, students identify appropriate materials and demonstrate two methods of representing solutions to their design problem (scale drawings and simple scale models). They test the scale model off-road wheelchairs using spring scales to pull the prototypes across three different simulated off-road surfaces.

Developed for second grade. Students will create shoreline habitats on a mini scale. They will think deeply and investigate the effect of oil spills on the environment. To do this, they will put objects similar to animal fur or feathers in an oily situation, as well as put themselves in an oily situation.Biology In Elementary Schools is a Saint Michael's College student project. The teaching ideas on this page have been found, refined, and developed by students in a college-level course on the teaching of biology at the elementary level. Unless otherwise noted, the lesson plans have been tried at least once by students from our partner schools. This wiki has been established to share ideas about teaching biology in elementary schools. The motivation behind the creation of this page is twofold: 1. to provide an outlet for the teaching ideas of a group of college educators participating in a workshop-style course; 2. to provide a space where anyone else interested in this topic can place their ideas.
Analyzing voltage and current in a circuit is a great place to …
Analyzing voltage and current in a circuit is a great place to start to understand what that circuit is doing. In this episode of “Adventures in Science,” we introduce the resistor and use it to help demonstrate Ohm’s Law.
This interesting law of physics was named after Georg Ohm, and states that the current between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across those two points: I = V/R
With a little bit of algebra, we can move the variables around and arrive at the more memorable: V = I x R
In the video, we demonstrate voltage and current in a fluid-based circuit, and show how a resistor acts like a piece of steel wool used to restrict the flow of water. We also construct a real circuit using a resistor, measure the voltage and current, and then calculate the resistance using Ohm’s Law.

In this extension to the Ohm's Law I activity, students observe just how much time it takes to use up the "juice" in a battery, and if it is better to use batteries in series or parallel. This extension is suitable as a teacher demonstration and may be started before students begin work on the Ohm's Law I activity.

This hands-on experiment will provide students with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup. Students will create their own oil spill, try different methods for cleaning it up, and then discuss the merits of each method in terms of effectiveness (cleanliness) and cost. They will be asked to put themselves in the place of both an environmental engineer and an oil company owner who are responsible for the clean-up.

Students learn about oil spills and their environmental and economic effects. They experience the steps of the engineering design process as they brainstorm potential methods for oil spill clean-up, and then design, build, and re-design oil booms to prevent the spread of oil spills. During a reflective session after cleaning up their oil booms, students come up with ideas on how to reduce oil consumption to prevent future oil spills.
