The National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) have partnered to launch the Future Goals program, a North-American initiative that provides K-12 students with STEM education. EVERFI’s Hockey Scholar course, with both a math and science edition, leverages highly interactive gameplay and the sport of hockey to reinforce key concepts like scientific thinking and data analysis, exposing students to foundational STEM concepts through real-life applications.
This Course Covers Foundational STEM Concepts Scientific Thinking,Data/Graphical Analysis
Uncover The Ice - Students derive area formula and proper units of measurement to calculate the area of each section of ice as they remove covering.
Area, units, unit square, square meters, formula 4 SS4.2 5 SS5.1-4 6 SS6.2 7 SS7.2 8 SS8.2-3
Paint The Ice - Students apply knowledge of geometric figures and coordinate planes to paint the ice rink. Point, coordinate, x/y-axis, line, chord, segment, parallel, right angle, congruent perpendicular, diameter, radius5 SS5.5 6 SS6.3-47 SS7.1-5
The Pass - Students measure and find patterns between angles lying on a straight line, by setting up a pass that bounces off the boards and discover the Law of Reflection based on their data. Protractor, degrees, right angle, straight angles, Law of Reflection, adjacent angles 6 SS6.1, SS6.3 7 SS7.1, SS7.3 8 OP8.1
The Shot - Students explore the interaction between applied force and frictional force and use this knowledge to hit specific targets on the ice.
Force, magnitude, direction, friction, Newton’s 1st Law 5 FM5.1-3 6 FL6.2
Speed - Students record and calculate a player’s average speed (using d = v/t formula) over short and long sprint distances Rate, units of distance (m, km, mi), trials, average, rounding, formula 5 SP5.3 6 SP6.1, N6.8 7 SP7.1-2 8 P8.1, N8.3
The Skate Blades - Students help players stop on a certain target based on the radius of hollow of their skate blades, and use this data to figure out the correlation between radius of hollow and stopping distance. Variables, radius, correlation 5 P5.1, FM5.1 6 P6.1, P6.3, FL6.3 7 P7.1, SS7.2, SP7.2 8 P8.1
Teacher Read Aloud or Class novel study
WHAT IS IT?
The premise is simple; we pick a book to read aloud to our students during a set 6-week period and during that time we try to make as many global connections as possible. Each teacher decides how much time they would like to dedicate and how involved they would like to be. Some people choose to connect with just one class, while others go for as many as possible. The scope and depth of the project is up to you. While there are commonly used such as Skype, Twitter, Padlet, or Flipgrid, you choose the tools that will make the most sense for you. Teachers get a community of other educators to do a global project with, hopefully inspiring them to continue these connections through the year.
WHEN IS IT?
Once a year, starting in early October and running through mid-November. Due to the time commitment, this is only a once a year project, however, two fantastic spin-off projects run at other times; the New Zealand Read Aloud and the French version of GRA, Ecouter Lire le Monde.
A little boy loses his neighbors dog inside the mysterious garden of Abdul Gasazi, who tells the boy that he has turned the dog into a duck. But when the boy returns home he finds the dog waiting for him on the porch. Gasazi was playing a trick on the boy - or was he?
Making Do With What You Have
Students learn about the history and cultures of aboriginal peoples by identifying plant and animal materials used to make everyday objects, completing the Match the Object to the Material Activity Sheet, and engaging in a classroom discussion about materials people use to make objects.
Kindergarten to Grade 4.
Treasures of Canada Webquest
Students learn about various themes in Canadian history, including aboriginal history and cultures, French-Canadian history, and immigration to Canada between 1800 and 2000. Working both independently and in small groups, they assume the roles of museum curators of their choice, search the Canadian Museum of Civilization's database, select artifacts for an exhibition targeting high school students, and make a presentation.
This interactive notebook can walk teachers and students through the process of doing a Genius Hour project.
Students should download a copy and complete it with their own ideas.
This resource contains 9 lessons to get Genius Hour off the ground in your classroom.
In this story Gertrude Ederle overcomes obstacles, both physical and social, in order to prevail at her lifelong dream of being the first women to swim the English Channel.
Cross curricular unit plan.
Students present monologues in the "voice" of someone involved in child labor in England, respond to questions, and then discuss contemporary child laborers and compare them to the past.
Students write and record their own essays for a class blog by first completing a series of activities designed to get them thinking and writing about their experiences.
