Google Translate is a simple yet powerful app packed with great features including the ability to translate text among 133 languages, translate text in images by simply pointing the camera of your device, translate taken or imported photos, instant translation of bilingual conversations, draw text characters instead of typing, star and save translated words and phrases, and many more. It can also be used offline with no internet connection. The app is available for Apple and Android devices, or offers a basic online service. 

Educational Scavenger Hunts for the 21st Century!

This app helps you facilitate scavenger hunts, where teams of students compete to find items you assign (in the physical world), then take photo evidence at each point and post it on the app. The app then keeps track of team points so you know which team won by the end.

This tool could be used for teams to complete assessments, or to provide feedback and capture an snapshot of their current level of understanding of the material. Students could also CREATE these for summative assessments to share with their peers if centered around a topic of study in the classroom.

This art history video discussion examines Gordon Bunshaft's (for Skidmore Owings and Merrill) Lever House, 1951-52 (390 Park Avenue, NYC).

In this art history video Dr. Beth Harris and Dr. Steven Zucker discuss Jan Gossaert's "Saint Luke Painting the Madonna", c. 1515-25. In the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna.

This lesson introduces students to the concepts of air pollution and technologies that have been developed by engineers to reduce air pollution. Students develop an understanding of visible air pollutants with an incomplete combustion demonstration, a "smog in a jar" demonstration, construction of simple particulate matter collectors and by exploring engineering roles related to air pollution. Next, students develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality and trends in air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper. Finally, students build and observe a variety of simple models in order to develop an understanding of how engineers use these technologies to clean up and prevent air pollution.

Students learn about energy flow in food webs, including the roles of the sun, producers, consumers and decomposers in the energy cycle. They model a food web and create diagrams of food webs using their own drawings and/or images from nature or wildlife magazines. Students investigate the links between the sun, plants and animals, building their understanding of the web of nutrient dependency and energy transfer.

This awesome science video explores how engineers develop solutions to the problems they are working on.

In this first episode of Crash Course Kids' Life Science: Ecosystems and Flow of Energy videos, Sabrina takes a look at why all living things need to eat. Plus, she shows you a way to investigate why all living things need to eat.

This scavenger hunt can be edited to fit the needs of your students!

Students learn about energy and nutrient flow in various biosphere climates and environments. They learn about herbivores, carnivores, omnivores, food chains and food webs, seeing the interdependence between producers, consumers and decomposers. Students are introduced to the roles of the hydrologic (water), carbon, and nitrogen cycles in sustaining the worlds' ecosystems so living organisms survive. This lesson is part of a series of six lessons in which students use their growing understanding of various environments and the engineering design process, to design and create their own model biodome ecosystems.

Students gain an understanding of the difference between electrical conductors and insulators, and experience recognizing a conductor by its material properties. In a hands-on activity, students build a conductivity tester to determine whether different objects are conductors or insulators. In another activity, students use their understanding of electrical properties to choose appropriate materials to design and build their own basic circuit switch.

This art history video discussion examines Francisco Goya's "The Family of Charles IV", c. 1800, Prado Museum, 280 cm x 336 cm (Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid).

This art history video discussion examines Goya's "Saturn Devouring One Of His Sons", 1821-1823, 143.5 x 81.4 cm (Prado, Madrid).

This is a low organization, high impact strategy to use for reflection and discussion in your classroom.

For the bulletin board activity, I laminated four large "lightbulbs" to hang up. I use these lightbulbs for a variety of purposes; critical thinking, collaboration, big ideas from units of study and important information that students can access quickly. I use this for a variety of different subjects (ELA, Math, Science) and could easily be adapted. The possibilities are endless.

Phonological awareness skills are important in order to develop good reading and spelling skills. Having good phonological awareness skills means that a child is able to manipulate sounds and words, or “play” with sounds and words. For example, you might ask your child to break the word “cat” into individual sounds: “c-a-t.” Important: These skills deal with SOUNDS not letters. For example, /t/ represents the sound and not the letter name “tee.” You will not use any written or visual letters when working with phonological activities. These activities are done with listening and speaking only. Learning the letter names and their corresponding sounds is also very important but should be taught and practiced at a different time of the day. This resource will have a weekly activity for your to work on with your child/student(s). It will include a handout with information and guidance, as well as a video to help support you and the learner.

“When will we ever use this in the real world?”
Real world math examples and solutions from the University of Waterloo.

Long métrage documentaire sur Grace, Milly et Lucy, d’anciennes enfants soldats qui ont été enlevées et embrigadées de force par des troupes rebelles ougandaises. Aujourd’hui, ces trois jeunes femmes qui ont connu l’horreur doivent réapprendre à vivre et à réinventer l’avenir. Sensible à leur destin, la documentariste Raymonde Provencher explore une réalité méconnue de l’actualité internationale.

This comprehensive resource from Saskatchewan Rivers Public School Division includes units of study plus curricular and assessment resources for Grade 10 Arts Education, ELA, Physical Education and Wellness, Practical and Applied Arts, Mathematics, Sciences and Social Studies. Look for rubrics, unit plans, sample year plans (and templates), Treaty Education outcomes and indicators as well lots of other teacher resources. Some of the information is not available as a login is required.
