If you’re heading outdoors for the long weekend you’ll want to learn some safety tips and bring along some essential gear; AdventureSmart BC’s PJ Richards joins us with more.
Auto Body is considered to be a "pure" course. When modules from different PAA courses are combined, a "survey' course is created.

Students needed to become a little bit more independent in the cooking lab in creating their own final product to present to a panel of judges. Students had a lot of fun with the “competition” aspect of it. They competed for 5 classes worth of not having to wash dishes.
The Saskatchewan Green Certificate Farm Training Program is an apprenticeship-style, on-farm skill training program. The program provides a practical hands-on training curriculum for individuals interested in pursuing a career in the agricultural industry. Upon course completion, trainees are awarded a certificate of completion from the Ministry of Agriculture. For more information, criteria, how to apply and much more go to the following site: Saskatchewan – Green Certificate Farm Training Program

The Cupcake Color Wheel activity provides a meaningful, memorable way for students to study Color Theory. Used in my Practical and Applied Arts 10- Survey class, it is part of the Interior Design module. Through this activity, students learn color terminology, mixing colors, and gain knowledge and understanding in the concepts of complementary colors, values, and chroma. If this activity is completed as part of a Food Studies class, it provides students an opportunity to gain knowledge and skills in the kitchen basics, and in the preparation of cakes and frostings.
All the students in our school have iPads and I recently had received 2 LEGO robotics kits; I wanted to find a way to mesh the two together. LEGO has a free app (for iPads only) that allows students to program their robot and connect to it via Bluetooth. The goal of this assignment is to learn about basic function of the LEGO EV3 robot. This includes the motor, color sensor and ultrasonic sensor. The main objective is to learn how to program, or "code", the robot to perform various functions using the "LEGO Mindstorms Programming App".
The following is a unit plan for Food Studies 7. It includes outcomes on the following:
- FS7.1 To apply independent learning skills in the preparation of nutritious foods
- FS7.2 To understand and practice safety in the preparation of and storage of food
- FS7.3 To apply independent learning skills for basic baking
- FS7.4 To apply independent learning skills for basic cooking
Rubrics, assessments and evaluation overview is also included in the unit plan.
Students entering grade seven will be required to take at least three Practical and Applied Arts (PAA) survey courses before completing grade nine:
- Only modules from PAA curricula can be used in PAA survey courses. Modules must be used from three different curricula.
- Appropriate safety concepts should be integrated throughout survey courses.
- Each course must be a minimum of 50 hours.
- Modules for suggested Middle Level courses are generally from introductory level modules, although intermediate modules may also be used, providing the prerequisites are met.
- Some modules should not be used in Middle Level survey courses for safety or reasons of developmental appropriateness.
The following is a unit plan for Life Transitions 7. The following outcomes are covered:
- LTR7.1 To develop an understanding of stress and how to manage it
- LTR7.2 To acquire and practice the skills needed to progress from dependence to independence and setting personal goals to create balance in their lives
Rubrics, assessments and overviews are also included with the unit plan.
The following has I Can Statements for the following:
- Kitchen and Food Safety
- Baking Basics
- Baking with Yeast
- Grains
- Vegetables and Fruits
