The purpose of this task is to give students practice working the formulas for the volume of cylinders, cones and spheres, in an engaging context that provides and opportunity to attach meaning to the answers.

Today we’ll dive further into fluid flow and how we can use equipment to apply our skills. We explain Bernoulli’s Principle and the relationship between speed and pressure in certain flowing fluids. We’ll also discuss how to apply the principle with Bernoulli’s Equation and try to use it in real-world examples.

Students will design and build a machine to lift "barrels" of volatile chemicals from a "dangerous" spill area to a "safe" area.

The purpose of this problem is to have students compose functions using tables of values only.

During this engineering design/build project, students investigate many different solutions to a problem. Their design challenge is to find a way to get school t-shirts up into the stands during home sporting events. They follow the steps of the engineering design process to design and build a usable model, all while keeping costs under budget.

During the associated lesson, students have learned about Newton's three laws of motion and free-body diagrams and have identified the forces of thrust, drag and gravity. As students begin to understand the physics behind thrust, drag and gravity and how these relate these to Newton's three laws of motion, groups assemble and launch the rockets that they designed in the associated lesson. The height of the rockets, after constructed and launched, are measured and compared to the theoretical values calculated during the rocket lesson. Effective teamwork and attention to detail is key for successful launches.

This portal is offered as a free resource to help facilitate online reading instruction and learning during this challenging time of school closures due to the Coronavirus outbreak.

These resources were available as of September 8th, 2020. If you try to access them later and they are not available, please let melissa.lander@sunwestsd.ca know.

There are two areas of the site, one for Students and one for Instructors. Materials are organized by our Phonics Scope and Sequence, and can be quickly navigated using the Menu at the top of the page.

Science Background:
Substances can mixed in order to produce substances of completely different states.
Materials: corn syrup, 2 beakers, 2 colours of food colouring, stirring rod, vinegar, baking soda, vegetable oil, teaspoon, water, 50mL graduated cylinder, medicine dropper
Directions:
1. Pour 30mL of corn syrup into a beaker. Stir in 3 drops of food colouring. Sprinkle a heaping spoonful of baking soda on top of the corn syrup.
2. Measure 30mL of water into a graduated cylinder. Hold the beaker at an angle and carefully pour the water down one side. Add 30mL of vegetable in the same way.
3. In a separate beaker pour 20mL of vinegar and add 3 drops of food colouring.
4. Fill the medicine dropper with the vinegar mixture.
5. Position the dropper so the tip is at the very bottom of the beaker with corn syrup. Squeeze the bulb to release the vinegar into the first beaker.

Students will learn about succession by studying the reestablishment of ecological communities following the 1980 volcanic eruption of Mount St. Helens and by setting up experimental plots to observe successional changes over time.

"A new tool for anyone seeking to improve their ability to focus."

Users progress through timed steps, with self-regulation activities embedded in their progression.
This tool can also be used with groups to encourage better focus.

Focusable is free - but there is also an upgraded version available.

Students come to understand the basics of engineering associated with the use, selection, and properties of fabrics. A wide variety of natural and synthetic fibers are used in our clothing, home furnishings and in our travel and sports equipment. The specific material chosen for each application depends on how closely the properties of the material match the design needs. This activity focuses on the different characteristics of fabrics and shows students how natural and synthetic fabrics differ from one another. Students weigh the advantages and disadvantages of fabrics when considering the appropriate fabric to be used.

The purpose of this task is to provide students with a concrete experience they can relate to fraction multiplication. Perhaps more importantly, the task also purposefully relates length and locations of points on a number line, a common trouble spot for students. This task is meant for instruction and would be a useful as part of an introductory unit on fraction multiplication.

This art history video discussion examines this work by a follower of Bernardo Daddi "The Aldobrandini Triptych", tempera on panel, ca. 1336 (Portland Art Museum).

After 90 percent of the town was damaged or destroyed by a tornado, Greensburg, Kansas, and Kiowa County Memorial Hospital developed a Long-Term Community Recovery plan to rebuild for resilience.

Students' understanding of how robotic light sensors work is reinforced in a design challenge involving LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots and light sensors. Working in pairs, students program LEGO robots to follow a flashlight as its light beam moves around. Students practice and learn programming skills and logic design in parallel. They see how robots take input from light sensors and use it to make decisions to move, similar to the human sense of sight. Students also see how they perform the steps of the engineering design process in the course of designing and testing to achieve a successful program. A PowerPoint® presentation and pre/post quizzes are provided.

This scavenger hunt was created for Grades 6 and up by the B.C Dairy Association.
The attached documents include the instructions, answer keys and student worksheet.

This thematic unit from Comox Valley Schools (SD71) in B.C. is aimed at Grade 7 Core French students, but is suitable and/or adaptable for both younger and older grades. It is focused on oral practice and participation and would also be useful in French Immersion classes!Content Authors: Beth Peddle, Comox Valley Schools, Learn71

This lesson focuses on how food packages are designed and made. Students will learn three of the main functions of a food package. They will learn what is necessary of the design and materials of a package to keep food clean, protect or aid in the physical and chemical changes that can take place in a food, and identify a food appealingly. Then, in the associated activity, the students will have the opportunity to become packaging engineers by designing and building their own food package for a particular type of food.

At the end of this activity the students should be able to Identify the food groups, Identify reasons to choose healthy food choices to eat, Sort foods on to the MyHealthy Plate, and Identify how the local farmer produces and provides food for the consumers.
