In this activity, students will learn about the Mercalli Scale for rating earthquakes. Also, students will make a booklet with drawings that represent each rating of the scale.
L’Action de grâce est une fête qui nous permet de s’arrêter quelque temps pour montrer notre gratitude, pour dire « Merci ». Évidemment, nous devrions l’exprimer tous les jours, mais nous ne prenons pas souvent le temps de nous arrêter. Tant de belles choses autour de nous méritent une reconnaissance, une gratitude, un émerveillement et un remerciement. Cette activité va te permettre d’apprécier tout ce qui se passe autour de toi et de t’apporter un sentiment de bien-être.

Students explore Mercury and Venus, the first and second planets nearest the Sun. They learn about the planets' characteristics, including their differences from Earth. Students also learn how engineers are involved in the study of planets by designing equipment and spacecraft to go where it is too dangerous for humans.
Students observe and discuss a cup and pencil model of a cyclone to better understand the science behind how this pollutant recovery method functions in cleaning industrial air pollution.

In this activity, students investigate the properties of a heterogeneous mixture, trail mix, as if it were a contaminated soil sample near a construction site. This activity shows students that heterogeneous mixtures can be separated by physical means, and that when separated, all the parts will equal the whole.
Strategies to help students understand what they are doing while they are reading. Metacognition is essential to help students improve their understanding how which strategies can help them become better readers.
Today we’ll explore more about two of the three main types of materials that we use as engineers: metals and ceramics. We’ll discuss properties of metals, alloys, ceramics, clay, cement, and glass-ceramic materials. We’ll also look at the applications of our materials with microelectromechanical systems and accelerometers.
The goal of this activity is for students to learn how to tell a story in order to make a complex topic (such as global warming or ozone holes) easier for a reader to grasp. Students realize that the narrative impulse underlies even scientific and technical writing and gain a better understanding of the role of myth as a "science" of imagination that helps us to gain insight into human motivation.
Meteor is an educational tool kit created by Doctors Without Borders to teach students about humanitarian work and the situations Doctors Without Borders’ aid workers face. Students can use role play to put themselves in the shoes of a team member of Doctors Without Borders (doctor, nurse, logistician, etc.) and respond to different emergency situations such as armed conflict or natural disasters.
With some slight adaptations, this module can be completed without the use of tech.
This kit will be downloaded from the BCTF site.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach first graders about how big is a meter?.
This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about introduction to metric measures: how big is a meter?.
Science Background:
Methane gas is lighter than oxygen gas, causing the methane bubbles to rise. This can be used to demonstrate that even though both gases are colourless and odourless, they are made of different substances and therefore have different masses and properties. The reaction is caused by the combustion reaction. Anytime a hydrocarbon such as methane is burned, the products are water and carbon dioxide.
Materials: Water, Splint, meter stick, tape, dish soap, Gas line with hose
This resource is recommended for kids ages 5 and up. An extensive catalog of content, as well as a tool to partake in a virtual tour of the museum, will give kids a dose of art and culture. Kids can learn about a particular period or collection and explore art via the “Time Machine,” starting as early as 8000-2000 BC to present time with fun facts and videos.
