Students learn how engineers navigate satellites in orbit around the Earth and on their way to other planets in the solar system. In accompanying activities, they explore how ground-based tracking and onboard measurements are performed. Also provided is an overview of orbits and spacecraft trajectories from Earth to other planets, and how spacecraft are tracked from the ground using the Deep Space Network (DSN). DSN measurements are the primary means for navigating unmanned vehicles in space. Onboard spacecraft instruments might include optical sensors and an inertial measurement unit (IMU).

Students are introduced to acids and bases, and the environmental problem of acid rain. They explore ways to use indicators to distinguish between acids and bases. Students also conduct a simple experiment to model and discuss the harmful effects of acid rain on our living and non-living environment, as well as how engineers address acid rain. In an associated literacy activity, students learn how persuasive techniques are used to develop an argument, and create an environmental case study.

Students expand upon their understanding of simple machines with an introduction to compound machines. A compound machine a combination of two or more simple machines can affect work more than its individual components. Engineers who design compound machines aim to benefit society by lessening the amount of work that people exert for even common household tasks. This lesson encourages students to critically think about machine inventions and their role in our lives.

Students will develop their summarizing skills while learning about local history. They will learn to consider audience while selecting topics, conducting research and interviews, and writing historical markers for their town.

"Le changement climatique et la perte de biodiversité peuvent avoir de nombreuses répercussions sur la santé humaine. Nous avons déjà appris comment la pollution, l'augmentation des températures et les changements dans la qualité de l'air et de l'eau peuvent affecter notre santé.

Le changement climatique peut entraîner des conditions météorologiques extrêmes et des catastrophes naturelles telles que des inondations ou des sécheresses. Ces conditions font qu'il est difficile pour les gens d'accéder à de l'eau potable, de cultiver de la nourriture et de rester chez eux. Il est difficile de rester en bonne santé si vous n'avez pas assez de nourriture et d'eau potable ou si vous êtes déplacé de chez vous."

Synopsis pédagogique : Dans les deux films, Janine Windolph et ses deux enfants, Corwyn et Dawlari, élevés en milieu urbain mais issus de la Première Nation crie de Waswanipi, entreprennent une démarche de guérison. Jalonné d’enseignements, ce parcours permettra aux jeunes d’approfondir leurs savoirs culturel et historique et ainsi de façonner peu à peu leur identité.

Âge recommandé: de 15 à 17 ans

In the past students had difficulty keeping their focus on academic collaboration when using One Note. It was key for me to help the students frame thought-provoking questions in their entries that would invite valuable comments. Also when commenting, it was important that the students knew the difference between social and academic writing. A true educational online collaboration is not about socializing, but about students and teacher helping each other grow in their learning. This was a different writing space than students are accustomed to. At the end of this unit the students had explored other student authored pages, talked about online safety, online identity and cyber bullying and worked together to create a display showcasing their novel study collaboration.
