Formes géométriques
Ce module a pour but d’aider l’enseignante ou l’enseignant à amener l’élève à percevoir et à décrire, avec le vocabulaire juste, la position et les déplacements d’objets les uns par rapport aux autres, et ce, dans un environnement qui est familier à l’élève.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about forming largest and smallest numbers (includes even and odd).

This task contrasts the usefulness of four equivalent expressions. Students first have to confirm that the given expressions for the radioactive substance are equivalent. Then they have to explain the significance of each expression in the context of the situation.

Students model and design the sound environment for a room. They analyze the sound performance of different materials that represent wallpaper, thick curtains, and sound-absorbing panels. Then, referring to the results of their analysis, they design another room based on certain specifications, and test their designs.

In this lesson, students will learn that minerals are a necessary part of our diet. They will learn that different minerals have different functions in the body. More specifically, they will discover that iron is necessary to carry oxygen around the body. In the associated activity, students will design a process that removes the most iron from the cereal.

Trees within a city can help reduce urban heat, control stormwater, and provide habitat to local wildlife. As climate conditions change, a Chicago group is working to enhance its urban forest so that the city can continue to receive these benefits.

To understand how fossils are formed, students model the process of fossilization by making fossils using small toy figures and melted chocolate. They extend their knowledge to the many ways that engineers aid in the study of fossils, including the development of tools and technologies for determining the physical and chemical properties of fossilized organisms, and how those properties tell a story of our changing world.

Please find the required PowerPoint presentation below.  This workshop has been developed as part of the course Parents in Teaching and Learning (ECUR 823) at the University of Saskatchewan with professor Debbie Pushor.This workshop is meant to be personalized.  Select the activities you wish to discuss, and spend as much or as little time on the concepts that speak fully to your school.  As you select activities and where to put your focus think of what needs to be done as a school and as a classroom teacher before school begins, during school, and over the summer.  Pick and choose the activities that best fit your school and your school’s needs.If you have any questions, feedback, or require clarification please feel free to call or email Melissa.lander@sunwestsd.ca. 

Students learn about the Foucault pendulum an engineering tool used to demonstrate and measure the Earth's rotation. Student groups create small experimental versions, each comprised of a pendulum and a video camera mounted on a rotating platform actuated by a LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT motor. When the platform is fixed, the pendulum motion forms a line, as observed in the recorded video. When the rotating, the pendulum's motion is observed as a set of spirals with a common center. Observing the patterns that the pendulum bob makes when the platform is rotating provides insight as to how a full-size Foucault pendulum operates. It helps students understand some of the physical phenomena induced by the Earth's rotation, as well as the tricky concept of how the perception of movement varies, depending on one's frame of reference.

Consider rocks "found objects" and you've suddenly got 60+ ideas for how to paint them. Endless opportunities and endless chances to tie students' paintings into course content!

In this fun activity, students use items from the recycle bin, the junk drawer, and the craft room to create a unique piece of art.

The purpose of this portfolio is to give an overview of your child’s progress in all the developmental areas throughout the school year. Samples of your child’s work are collected and used to show his/ her learning. Your child helps to make decisions about what to put into this portfolio. They are accessible to you and your child at anytime throughout the school year.

The work samples collected in this portfolio will give you an idea of the curriculum and daily activities used in our prekindergarten program.

During the preschool years, young children greatly expand their knowledge, understandings and abilities. They actively explore and discover their world through experiences using their senses of touch, sight, smell, hearing and taste.

Book- Four Faces of the Moon: is a short graphic novel adapted from a stop motion animated short film that discusses colonization, residential schools and specifically the slaughter of buffalo and other assimilation tactics.

Website- has the stop motion animated film as well as additional information and resources.
