Using a paper and tape device, students experience how atoms and molecules of gas in Earth‰Ûªs atmosphere absorb electromagnetic energy through resonance. This activity is part of Unit 2 in the Space Based Astronomy guide that contains background information, worksheets, assessments, extensions, and standards.

In this activity, students demonstrate the relationship between wave frequency and energy in the electromagnetic spectrum by shaking a rope to identify the relationships. This activity is part of Unit 2 in the Space Based Astronomy guide that contains background information, worksheets, assessments, extensions, and standards.

In this activity, the students will complete the grand challenge and design an electromagnet to separate steel from aluminum for the recycler. In order to do this, students compare the induced magnetic field of an electric current with the magnetic field of a permanent magnet and must make the former look like the latter. They discover that looping the current produces the desired effect and find ways to further strengthen the magnetic field.

This is an activity about the properties of electromagnets, which is a crucial underpinning for understanding how magnetic fields are generated in nature, in the surface of the Sun, and in the interior of Earth. Learners will create an electromagnet by letting an electric current flow through a wire to generate a magnetic field, which is then detected using a compass. This activity requires a thin insulated wire, pencil, battery, compass and paper clips. This is Activity 2 of the Magnetism and Electromagnetism teachers guide.

The last lesson in our Introduction to Computer series. This video looks at the basics of eCommerce. We define some basic terms and give examples.

So we ended last episode at the start of the 20th century with special purpose computing devices such as Herman Hollerith’s tabulating machines. But as the scale of human civilization continued to grow as did the demand for more sophisticated and powerful devices. Soon these cabinet-sized electro-mechanical computers would grow into room-sized behemoths that were prone to errors. But is was these computers that would help usher in a new era of computation - electronic computing.

Students learn about current electricity and necessary conditions for the existence of an electric current. Students construct a simple electric circuit and a galvanic cell to help them understand voltage, current and resistance.

The computer will give you a list of chemical symbols and a list of chemical names. Choose the chemical name that each chemical symbol represents. Press the 'Check my answers!' button after you have made your choices.

Students gain a better understanding of the different types of materials as pure substances and mixtures and learn to distinguish between homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures by discussing an assortment of example materials they use and encounter in their daily lives.

Easily create and share beautiful stories.

One collaborative platform to promote arts through storytelling.

Teachers can create one class account with 30 students for free.

"Create and share Interactive stories for free! Elementari promotes arts and literacy through their platform that allows users to easily write, collaborate, and publish interactive stories for free. Educators can create a free classroom of up to 30 students and have access to Elementari’s curriculum guide. Students can write and illustrate digital stories that allow for voice recorded narration. In addition, students can also animate their stories using basic coding functions." (AASL)

Quality classroom assessment produces accurate information that is used effectively to maximize student learning. Accurate information comes from:
• clearly defining learning targets for students,
• clearly understanding the purpose(s) for which information about student learning is being gathered,
• using a variety of assessment methods as well, and
• designing assessments that cover important aspects of a learning target.

CK-12's Grade 4 Elementary Math is a series of videos and interactive videos designed to teach basic math concepts to 4th graders. Concepts covered include Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, Multiple Operations and Grouping, Place Value, Decimals, Time, Money, Measurement, and Geometry.

CK-12's Grade 5 Elementary Math is a series of videos and interactive videos designed to teach basic math concepts to 5th graders. Concepts covered include Multiplication and Division, Place Value, Multiple Operations and Grouping, Decimals, Time, Fractions, Money, Measurement, and Geometry.

These resources were created by BC teachers to support Math planning, instruction and assessment after a series of PD from Dr. Marion Small.

Each grade is divided into the Key concepts/strands - and each strand has an overview, foundations, progression, sample weeks of lessons, suggestions for assessment and additional resources.

The main site also includes math games, indigenous connections, assessment tools, instructional routines (number talks, activities), literature and French resources.

Information for both the teacher and student that can be used to guide and develop instructional plans and sequencing which leads to personalized learning opportunities based on choices of path, pace, place and time .
