Students learn basic marketing concepts and use professional marketing techniques to compose an advertisement for a hybrid vehicle. In the process, they learn the principles of comparative analysis.

Students form expert engineering teams working for the (fictional) alternative energy consulting firm, Greenewables, Inc. Each team specializes in a form of renewable energy used to generate electrical power: passive solar, solar photovoltaic, wind power, low-impact hydropower, biomass, geothermal and (for more advanced students) hydrogen fuel cells. Teams produce poster presentations making a case for their technology and produce an accompanying PDF document using Adobe Acrobat that summarizes the presentation. This activity is geared towards fifth-grade and older students, and Internet research capabilities are required. Some portions of this activity may be appropriate with younger students.

Faced with the potential of a large expense related to water quality, the Portland (Maine) Water District performed a thorough analysis of their options. Their choice came down to making an investment in conservation or concrete.

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!

THIS UNIT'S THEME: Greetings & Letters (Saluer & alphabet)

In addition to tips for incorporating French into daily routines, the unit includes:

-Vocabulary
-Pronunciation videos
-Kahoot/flash card games
-Word games
-Games and activities for oral practice
-An art & writing activity

The class forms a "Presidential Task Force" for a week, empowered by the president to find answers and make recommendations concerning the future of the national power grid. Task force members conduct daily debriefings with their research team and prepare a report and presentation of their findings for the president, using an actual policy document as a guide. Although this activity is geared towards fifth-grade and older students and Internet research capabilities are required, some portions may be appropriate for younger students.

This site offers games galore in math, science, ELA, geography, history, art, design, music, languages, health and more.

Student teams locate a contaminant spill in a hypothetical site by measuring the pH of soil samples. Then they predict the direction of groundwater flow using mathematical modeling. They also use the engineering design process to come up with alternative treatments for the contaminated water.

· Each student takes an item from the mystery bag
· Ask them to organize themselves into groups that they think fit together
· Then after a few minutes say there are 8 groups
· Set out 8 # cards with the title and see what groups you can make now
