This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about completing the number patterns based on the multiplication table.

This problem uses the same numbers and asks essentially the same mathematical questions as "6.NS Bake Sale," but that task requires students to apply the concepts of factors and common factors in a context.

Canadian kids from isolated communities forced to move away from their families – just to go to school.

This video follows the stories of young students who have to leave their home community to attend school.

Students are introduced to the five fundamental loads: compression, tension, shear, bending and torsion. They learn about the different kinds of stress each force exerts on objects.

Students will begin to understand the concept of maps by describing the path that Little Red Riding Hood took on the way to Grandma's house. Main Curriculum Tie: Social Studies - Kindergarten, Standard 3 Objective 1, Identify geographic terms that describe their surroundings. Many fairy tales and nursery rhymes take the characters on a path through the rhyme/story. In this lesson, we will be making up maps for the characters to follow. In the first activity, the class will be recreating a map of the path that Little Red Riding Hood takes to Grandma’s house. The students will be exploring basic map directions and characteristics.

Picture books provide the basis for an analysis of fairy tale elements before students write their own original tales.

Inspirée du livre de Lynette Comissiong, ce court métrage d’animation est en quelque sorte une version caraïbéenne du conte Hansel et Gretel. Sourds aux avertissements de leur mère, Tina et Dalby traversent le pont interdit et se retrouvent prisonniers de la méchante Mama Zi, une cocoya (esprit maléfique). Ils se croient perdus mais Tina, qui est très futée, convainc Mama Zi de continuer à se prélasser au soleil, ce qui donne aux enfants le temps de s'enfuir.

**pour élèves de 5 à 9 ans

Using an Arduino microprocessor, students will build an automated fish food feeder so fish can be fed when no one is at school?

This project involves learning how to do simple wiring of an LED, a buzzer, and a servo (motor) to a simple-to-use Arduino microprocessor.

This family day activity is exploring and creating paper tissue leaves to decorate the classroom.

This short video from the Saskatchewan Safety Council includes information about proper fall protection measures.

Students drop water from different heights to demonstrate the conversion of water's potential energy to kinetic energy. They see how varying the height from which water is dropped affects the splash size. They follow good experiment protocol, take measurements, calculate averages and graph results. In seeing how falling water can be used to do work, they also learn how this energy transformation figures into the engineering design and construction of hydroelectric power plants, dams and reservoirs.

This activity shows how an ordinary ruler can measure human reaction time (RT). Learners will convert a standard ruler into a time ruler (relating time and distance) and measure each others RT. They will also calculate means and variances and the RT required to accomplish a specific task. Additional resources and an extension to this activity are available. This resource is from PUMAS - Practical Uses of Math and Science - a collection of brief examples created by scientists and engineers showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes have real world applications.

The following is a collection of resources and strategies to help teachers connect with families positively and engage them in their child's learning. Use this resource to help ensure you have a family friendly school with parents involved in the school and their child's education.
Community connections are also explored.
Together the parents, teacher, student and community can work together to forge a positive and successful experience for all stakeholders involved.

This is a collection of tools to assess the effectiveness of family engagement in a school's learning community.

This resource, produced by the National Center on Parent, Family, and Community Engagement (co-authored by HFRP’s Christine Patton and M. Elena Lopez), discusses the importance of families’ support for their children’s learning and development as children transition to new environments. The resource positions the transition to kindergarten as a pivotal point for establishing the kinds of practices that can help sustain gains children have made in their early learning settings, and offers examples of successful program practices that Head Start and Early Head Start staff can use to help children and families with this transition.
