Students explore the causes and effects of the Earth's ozone holes through discussion and an interactive simulation. In an associated literacy activity, students learn how to tell a story in order to make a complex topic (such as global warming or ozone holes) easier for a reader to grasp.

"Dans cette leçon, les élèves sont sensibilisés aux efforts déployés pour restaurer les noms de lieux traditionnels dans leur région et participent à une activité de cartographie."

So, what happens to normal stuff (like water) when it goes to not so normal places? What happens if you take a glass of water to the top of Mt. Everest? Or Space? In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us how matter is affected by different pressures and how that make water do some weird things.

North Star chronicles the exceptional journey of Laurie Rousseau-Nepton, a young, Quebec-born Innu astrophysicist leading a massive research project at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Drawing on a worldview rooted in a love of nature, as well as her talents as a science communicator, Laurie shares her passion for the study of celestial objects.

The site has options for:
- Kids (recommended for K-5 students)
- General Resources (recommended for older students and a general audience)
- Advanced Resources (recommended for independent researchers)
- Resources for University of the Arctic students
- Resources for K-12 Teachers

The "For Kids" section contains information about the northern countries. On this site, students can be a detective, looking at images and writing about and by people of the North to try to discover the story they tell. Or, they can look at exhibits, where other people have told one story based on the same information.

Resources for teachers includes questions, activities, and points to other sites which may be of interest to students and of assistance in developing your lesson plans. In some cases, references can be linked directly back to one of the exhibits created specifically for this site. Additionally, there are links to other resources which may be of use.

Students learn how engineers navigate satellites in orbit around the Earth and on their way to other planets in the solar system. In accompanying activities, they explore how ground-based tracking and onboard measurements are performed. Also provided is an overview of orbits and spacecraft trajectories from Earth to other planets, and how spacecraft are tracked from the ground using the Deep Space Network (DSN). DSN measurements are the primary means for navigating unmanned vehicles in space. Onboard spacecraft instruments might include optical sensors and an inertial measurement unit (IMU).

Students are introduced to acids and bases, and the environmental problem of acid rain. They explore ways to use indicators to distinguish between acids and bases. Students also conduct a simple experiment to model and discuss the harmful effects of acid rain on our living and non-living environment, as well as how engineers address acid rain. In an associated literacy activity, students learn how persuasive techniques are used to develop an argument, and create an environmental case study.

Students expand upon their understanding of simple machines with an introduction to compound machines. A compound machine a combination of two or more simple machines can affect work more than its individual components. Engineers who design compound machines aim to benefit society by lessening the amount of work that people exert for even common household tasks. This lesson encourages students to critically think about machine inventions and their role in our lives.

Students will develop their summarizing skills while learning about local history. They will learn to consider audience while selecting topics, conducting research and interviews, and writing historical markers for their town.

"Le changement climatique et la perte de biodiversité peuvent avoir de nombreuses répercussions sur la santé humaine. Nous avons déjà appris comment la pollution, l'augmentation des températures et les changements dans la qualité de l'air et de l'eau peuvent affecter notre santé.

Le changement climatique peut entraîner des conditions météorologiques extrêmes et des catastrophes naturelles telles que des inondations ou des sécheresses. Ces conditions font qu'il est difficile pour les gens d'accéder à de l'eau potable, de cultiver de la nourriture et de rester chez eux. Il est difficile de rester en bonne santé si vous n'avez pas assez de nourriture et d'eau potable ou si vous êtes déplacé de chez vous."

Synopsis pédagogique : Dans les deux films, Janine Windolph et ses deux enfants, Corwyn et Dawlari, élevés en milieu urbain mais issus de la Première Nation crie de Waswanipi, entreprennent une démarche de guérison. Jalonné d’enseignements, ce parcours permettra aux jeunes d’approfondir leurs savoirs culturel et historique et ainsi de façonner peu à peu leur identité.

Âge recommandé: de 15 à 17 ans

Ce site vous donne une mini-leçon à poursuivre avec vos élèves.
**Les deux films sont en anglais avec sous-titres français.

This twist on readers theater has students prepare original news programs based on incidents in a recent reading, as they explore standard literary elements of character, conflict, resolution, and setting.

'Students have an opportunity to learn about Christmas in French. During the learning activities, students will become familiar with Christmas vocabulary, explore what Christmas means to them, discuss ways Santa knows their behaviour during the year, and what they would like for Christmas. They even invent a toy-making machine. For the experiential goal, students will write a letter to Santa and present their letters to the class.

'The teacher’s guide includes learning objectives, a list of resources and step-by-step suggestions on how to teach the unit. In addition, the guide includes answer sheets, suggested vocabulary and motivational games, supplementary activities, flashcards, model letter to parents, evaluation grids and activities, and website addresses.

'The student workbook includes the necessary student activity sheets, vocabulary lists, and teacher, peer and self-evaluation grids. '

*Most instructions are in English, except for a few of the worksheets.*

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about number riddles (numbers up to 100,000).

Whole numbers are no better than any others! Practice plotting values on the number line as a passionate activist rises up and demands equity for all numbers, including fractions and decimals.

This is a set of two, one-page problems about the sizes of moons in the solar system. Learners will use fractions to compare the sizes and distances of Jupiter's moons. Options are presented so that students may learn about the Juno mission through a NASA press release or by viewing a NASA eClips video [6 min.] about the creation of graphic of the 88 largest objects in our solar system. This activity is part of the Space Math multi-media modules that integrate NASA press releases, NASA archival video, and mathematics problems targeted at specific math standards commonly encountered in middle school.

The purpose of this video tutorial is to review a couple ways in which we think about numbers. Thinking in terms of street numbers, money in bank accounts, and quantum particles (e.g. Bose-Einstein condensate) is contrasted with focusing on associating numbers with distinguishable manipulatives, as is more familiar in K-8 courses. This video concludes with a reminder that the symbol "infinity" is not, itself, a number.

This thematic unit from Comox Valley Schools (SD71) in B.C. is aimed at Grade 5 Core French students, but is suitable for younger grades and would be easily adaptable for older ones. It is focused on oral practice and participation and would also be useful in primary French Immersion classes!Content Authors: Comox Valley Schools, Learn71, Beth Peddle

Numeracy is having the confidence and habits of mind to use mathematics to meet the general demands of everyday life. Being a numerate person means using mathematics to make sense of something new and know what mathematics can and cannot do.

Numeracy provides First Nations, Métis and Inuit students the opportunity to discover connections on their own and apply strategies to solve real life problems. Throughout history, First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples have used real life traditional learning contexts to connect to their world.

In the Empowering the Spirit video series, students explore numeracy through Traditional Games, an elementary math class on probability and a high school physics class examining the structure of a tee pee and rocket nozzle.
