« Un fluide est une substance déformable lorsqu'elle est soumise à une force, c'est-à-dire qu'elle a la capacité de prendre la forme du contenant dans lequel elle se trouve.
On regroupe sous cette appellation les gaz, qui sont des fluides compressibles, et les liquides, qui sont des fluides peu ou pas compressibles. »

"The "Let's Go Viral" writing activity template looks at something new students are learning in TikTok style.
In this template, students work through the same steps a TikTok creator would to make a video. However, they'll be planning like a creator about content they're learning in your class!
The process includes the topic, the audience, the hook, the message, the visuals, the text, and a "Now, Let's Go Viral!" reflection at the end. The whole template is customizable!"
Students make two different formulations of imitation Silly Putty with varying degrees of cross-linking. They witness how changes in the degree of cross-linking influence the putty properties.
This is one of the best K-12 Science resources available!
Resources are available for Grades Pre-school-12 including multiple articles and videos available for students to explore the many science concepts being learned in the classroom.
You can:
*Book an outreach visit from a scientist to teach STEM (science, technology, engineering & math) to your class
*Enter your Grade 6-8 students in team-based competitive enrichment events
*Use CurioCity with Grade 8-12 students to learn about STEM careers, Space and countless other topics with videos. You can also register and get amazing resources for STEM (in English or French) for FREE! (These are even aligned to SK curriculum!)
*Visit Ideapark for Pre-school to Grade 3 to register and receive access to a wealth of FREE STEM resources.
*Register for Tomatosphere to investigate the effects of outer space on seed germination with your class. Tomatosphere™ is a hands-on program that builds scientific inquiry and experimentation skills.
"LibreTexts is an ecosystem of connected tools that empower educators to create Open Educational Resources at scale
LibreTexts is the largest centralized open education project and platform online. Founded in 2008 at the University of California, Davis as the ChemWiki, the LibreTexts mission is to unite students, faculty and scholars in a cooperative effort to develop an easy-to-use online platform for the construction, customization, and dissemination of open educational resources (OER) to reduce the burdens of unreasonable textbook costs to our students and society."

In this lesson, students will extend their knowledge of matter and energy cycles in an organism to engineering life cycle assessment of a product. Students will learn about product life cycle assessment and the flow of energy through the cycle, comparing it to the flow of nutrients and energy in the life cycle of an organism.
This unit covers the processes of photosynthesis, extinction, biomimicry and bioremediation. In the first lesson on photosynthesis, students learn how engineers use the natural process of photosynthesis as an exemplary model of a complex yet efficient process for converting solar energy to chemical energy or distributing water throughout a system. In the next lesson on species extinction, students learn that it is happening at an alarming rate. Students discover that the destruction of habitat is the main reason many species are threatened and how engineers are trying to stop this habitat destruction. The third lesson introduces students to the idea of biomimicry or looking to nature for engineering ideas. And, in the fourth and final lesson, students learn about a specialty branch of engineering called bioremediation the use of living organisms to aid in the clean up of pollutant spills.
Students plant sunflower seeds in plastic cups, and once germinated, expose them to varying light or soil moisture conditions. They measure growth of the seedlings every few days using non-standard measurement (inch cubes). After a few weeks, they compare the growth of plants exposed to the different conditions and make bar comparative graphs, which they analyze to draw conclusions about the needs of plants.
Developed for third grade. Using simple math, students will figure out their lung capacity by breathing into a bottle filled with water and measuring the volume of water displaced.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.

Setting us up for the mechanisms that allow lymph movements we first have to look at how lymph moves through the lymphatic system. This video goes over the pathways that lymph takes: lymphatic capillaries, lymphatic vessels, lymph node, lymphatic trunk and collecting duct.
