This is an activity about seasons. Learners begin by brainstorming a list of activities and events that occur in each season. Next, learners perform an experiment by comparing the temperature on thermometers left under a lamp for different lengths of time to illustrate that Earth heats more when the Sun is in the sky longer.

After an extremely heavy rain destroyed almost 500 miles of roadway in Colorado, the state is redesigning some roadways—and the streams they follow—to make the roads more resilient to future floods.

Students learn about soil properties and the effect biochar—charcoal used as a soil amendment—has on three soil types, sand, loam and clay. They test the soils’ water retention capability before and after the addition of biochar. During the activity, student teams prepare soil mixtures, make observations (including microscopic examinations), compare soil properties, conduct water retention tests, take and record measurements, and analyze their observations and data. They see how the physical properties of soils—color, texture, and particle size—can be indicators of nutrient content and water retention capabilities to support plant growth. From their findings, they consider biochar’s potential benefits for environmental and agricultural applications, especially in conditions of drought and depleted soils. An activity lab sheet is provided to guide experimental data collection and analysis.

«Les chercheurs estiment le nombre de harengs en comptant leurs œufs! Nous nous tournons vers les personnes qui connaissent le mieux le hareng.

Enquête sur l'évaluation des stocks : Les élèves sont mis au défi de déterminer quel stock de hareng aura le plus de chances d'avoir une population en bonne santé à l'avenir! Les étudiants effectuent un recensement de harengs en utilisant une version simplifiée des méthodes utilisées par les scientifiques de Pêches et Océans Canada.»

Why do we care about air? Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in... most, if not all, humans do this automatically. Do we really know what is in the air we breathe? In this activity, students use M&M(TM) candies to create pie graphs that show their understanding of the composition of air. They discuss why knowing this information is important to engineers and how engineers use this information to improve technology to better care for our planet.

After examining recipes written based on students' favorite fairy tales, students research a recipe related to their favorite story, book, or fairy tale and include it in a classroom recipe book.

Preparing food is a great way to spend time together as a family and it’s also a great way for kids to learn valuable math and reading skills.

Reconciliation Canada hosted a series of six short films on the theme of reconciliation, produced by young Indigenous filmmakers with the help of Wapikoni Mobile.

The videos are:
- Tio’tiake Montreal
- The Power of Laughter (Maskwesiwin Papiwin)
- At the UN – Wapikoni Mobile Speaks Out
- The Path
- Correcting the Chalkboard
- The Joy of Living

This tasks gives a verbal description for computing the perimeter of a rectangle and asks the students to find an expression for this perimeter. Students then have to use the expression to evaluate the perimeter for specific values of the two variables.

This task is a natural follow up for task Rectangle Perimeter 1. After thinking about and using one specific expression for the perimeter of a rectangle, students now extend their thinking to equivalent expressions for the same quantity.

The purpose of this task is to ask students to write expressions and to consider what it means for two expressions to be equivalent.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders an overview of squares and rectangles.

Welcome to Recycle City! There's lots to do here - people and places to visit and plenty of ways to explore how the city's residents recycle, reduce, and reuse waste. To get started, just click on any section of Recycle City that you want to tour, or click on the Dumptown Game. You can create your own Recycle City scavenger hunt or go to the Activities area and see other ways you can explore Recycle City. When you leave this place, you'll know much more about what you can do to help protect the environment.

In small groups, students were to create a piece of art out of
recycled materials. Students were given creative freedom to design, plan,
and build their projects.
