The learning of linear functions is pervasive in most algebra classrooms. Linear functions are vital in laying the foundation for understanding the concept of modeling. This unit gives students the opportunity to make use of linear models in order to make predictions based on real-world data, and see how engineers address incredible and important design challenges through the use of linear modeling. Student groups act as engineering teams by conducting experiments to collect data and model the relationship between the wall thickness of the latex tubes and their corresponding strength under pressure (to the point of explosion). Students learn to graph variables with linear relationships and use collected data from their designed experiment to make important decisions regarding the feasibility of hydraulic systems in hybrid vehicles and the necessary tube size to make it viable.

Students learn the principles of the Law field, the many Law agencies, and federal, state and local laws.The course of study includes: historical perspective of American police agencies, with an emphasis on California law enforcement; philosophy of the origins of crime and the social impact on society; development of the Law system, current trends and their relevance to local and state law enforcement; hiring and testing processes for positions in law enforcement; laws of arrest, search and seizure laws; court process; penal and vehicle codes - what constitutes a crime; child abuse and related offenses; drug and alcohol abuse and related offenses.

This is an in-depth self-portrait drawing unit that explores the theme of identity through an ABAR (Anti-Bias Anti-Racist Education) perspective. The unit is broken down into 5 parts and the lessons provide the vocabulary and tools necessary to instill a sense of power in students to identify, critically analyze, prevent, call out, and stop injustices from occurring.

«Nous souhaitons mettre à votre disposition un ensemble d’activités et de leçons qui portent sur les plantes et la botanique et qui sont liées au curriculum. ...

L’ensemble comporte six activités distinctes qui s’adressent explicitement aux élèves de la 3e, 4e, 5e et 6e année.

1. Dessins de plantes : pour la science et pour le plaisir (pg. 6)

Le dessin botanique et le dessin floral utilisent le même sujet, mais visent des objectifs très différents. Dans cette activité, les élèves examineront ces moyens d’expression artistique distincts en créant deux illustrations d’après une même plante. Leurs énoncés d’artiste exprimeront les buts et les décisions conceptuelles qui découleront du moyen d’expression employé et du spécimen floral.

2. Les secrets de l’herbier confectionné en classe (pg. 18)

Un herbier est une collection de spécimens végétaux qui sont pressés dans le but de les conserver. Dans cette leçon, les élèves collectionneront et conserveront des spécimens de plantes pour constituer un herbier en classe, et étudieront les différents usages de l’herbier.

3. Les Olympiques de la dissémination des graines (pg. 30)

En disséminant leurs graines loin de la plante mère, les végétaux peuvent réduire la concurrence des autres plantes et accroître leur répartition. Dans cette activité, les élèves étudieront certains des mécanismes dont les plantes se servent pour disperser leurs graines, en créant un modèle de fruit et en évaluant la relation qui existe entre la structure du fruit et sa capacité de disséminer les graines.

4. La salade de fruits mondiale (pg. 37)

Bien qu’on y trouve les terres agricoles les plus productives au Canada, l’Ontario importe plus de produits alimentaires par habitant que toute autre province. Dans cette leçon, les élèves étudieront le concept du «kilomètre-aliment », visiteront une ferme, un marché fermier ou une épicerie, et rédigeront un article de journal ou un éditorial pour résumer leurs conclusions.

5. Faisons la connaissance d’un arbre (pg. 48)

Même si les élèves savent tout de suite reconnaître un « arbre », il arrive souvent que leurs connaissances ne vont pas plus loin que ce descripteur de base. Dans cette leçon, les élèves examineront les feuilles, identifieront l’essence, feront des empreintes d’écorce, mesureront la circonférence, calculeront l’âge et estimeront la hauteur d’un arbre. Ils réaliseront des profils d’arbre qui seront ensuite réunis pour créer une encyclopédie en classe.

6. Comptez sur la dendrochronologie (pg. 57)

Les cernes qui se forment chaque année à mesure qu’un arbre pousse recèlent une foule de renseignements qui révèlent les conditions de croissance de l’arbre pendant sa vie. Dans cette activité, les élèves examineront des cernes annuels et découvriront les secrets qu’ils renferment.»

The Learning Circle has been produced to help meet Canadian educator's growing need for elementary-level learning exercises on First Nations. There are four classroom guides (ages 4-7, ages 8-11, ages 12-14, ages 14-16) on First Nations in Canada. The Learning Circle is organized in thematic units. each with its own teaching activities. Units are designed to give teachers and students simple but effective exercises, projects and activities that will encourage students to learn more about First Nations. Educators can follow some of the exercises as stand-alone units on First Nations topics, or integrate them with existing curricula on Aboriginal peoples. Most exercises in The Learning Circle can be completed in one period. Certain others will take several periods, days or weeks.

This unit models communicative / experiential second language teaching in a multidimensional curriculum. Students explore various types of media and the impact on their lives and society as a whole. Students experience learning activities in exploring the following: television, radio, newspaper, computers and publicity. The experiential goal requires students to create a media production (radio program, television program or class newspaper), or to develop a media campaign on a subject that interests them, or to make a presentation on one type of media using this media in the presentation.

For grades 10-12

« Mary Pratt (1935-2018) était fascinée par la lumière, une passion qu’elle a exprimée dans ses peintures magistrales. Ce guide vise à montrer le lien entre l’observation minutieuse de la lumière chez Pratt, sa compréhension artistique manifeste, et le monde de la science et de l’optique. »

4e-12e année

In this lesson you will learn about how the larger macroeconomic situation impacts every Canadian (market growth/decline, inflation, and domestic and global economic conditions (war, unemployment, labor, international trade). This lesson will explore questions such as: What are key indicators (types of markets, unemployment, inflation, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP)) identifying to a country’s economic performance and how do these affect financial decisions?

In this lesson students will learn about how inflation impacts every Canadian, as it is part of every purchase we require to live: housing, food, clothing, entertainment and more. The calculation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is demonstrated through the basket of goods that make up the CPI figures. Knowing about inflation and the impact on financial decisions is very important for students to learn to “stay ahead”; meaning money earned/income needs to equal or be greater than money spent/ expenses, or they will “fall behind” financially. The lesson ends with a demonstration of a single good, calculating the “Big Mac Inflation” and comparing this to all other goods. 

A lesson for every single element on the period table. Created by the Periodic Videos team using the TED-Ed platform.

Each lesson has a video and it guide you through learning about it. Resources include:

WATCH

THINK (Questions)

DISCUSS (Discussion Questions)

AND FINALLY (Which is different and depends on the element)
