La vidéo 'J'ai quelque chose à dire' traite de l'impact des inégalités sociales (et plus particulièrement du racisme, de l'homophobie et du sexisme) à court et à long terme en milieu scolaire.
Les thèmes démontrés sont la diversité et l'inclusion.
Pour la 9e-12e année.
Leading museums share their collections through virtual, augmented and mix reality.
Bringing the arts to life through virtual, augmented and mixed reality, Boulevard is reshaping the landscape of storytelling and revolutionizing the way the world looks at art and culture.
The "Educate" and "Experiences" tabs are a great place to start.
There are full lessons in here under "Educate"!
This lesson will be turning heads and pages as students learn how to choose appropriate books for independent reading exercises and later evaluate their choices.
"Baba Yaga the Flying Witch" from Usborne's Illustrated Stories from Around the World is read aloud.
The Listening Guide for "Baba Yaga the Flying Witch" is attached.
"‘Tis the season of gratitude and reflection, of homecomings and joyous tidings... At least, that’s what the end-of-year holiday time usually brings. While we acknowledge that this year has been anything but usual, simply saying “2020 is different” feels like too obvious an understatement.
Many of us simply aren’t ready or even willing to reflect on a year of thwarted plans, grave safety concerns, and extraordinary challenges to our core values and identities. Even so, we realize that some kind of closure, however small or personal, is essential to moving forward with courage and wholeheartedness.
With this toolkit, we share our favorite practices for heart-centered breathwork, movement and mindful presence. The journey of returning to joy can carry us through sorrow, anger or exhaustion, and we provide tools here to support you with release, relief and rest.
In this toolkit, you’ll find practices for:
Hope
Rest
Reflection
Joy
Connection
Processing Grief
Letting Go
Sitting with Stress

September is a great time for data collection activities as students are naturally curious about their new classmates. Ask questions that require students to analyze data and support their conclusions.
Classroom Culture
Instill a sustainable, positive culture in your classroom with these lessons and activities.
Elementary - 8 Activities for Building a Compassionate Classroom Culture
Middle School - 7 Activities to Foster Decision-Making and Character Skills
High School - 6 Ways to Embed Mental Wellness into Classroom Culture
Students use their senses to describe what the weather is doing and predict what it might do next. After gaining a basic understanding of weather patterns, students act as state park engineers and design/build "backyard weather stations" to gather data to make actual weather forecasts.
This art history video discussion examines Francis Bacon's "Triptych - August 1972", 1972, oil on canvas, 72 x 61 x 22 in. (183 x 155 x 64 cm), (Tate Modern, London).
Students are introduced to the concept of engineering biological organisms and studying their growth to be able to identify periods of fast and slow growth. They learn that bacteria are found everywhere, including on the surfaces of our hands. Student groups study three different conditions under which bacteria are found and compare the growth of the individual bacteria from each source. In addition to monitoring the quantity of bacteria from differ conditions, they record the growth of bacteria over time, which is an excellent tool to study binary fission and the reproduction of unicellular organisms.
This task provides a real world context for interpreting and solving exponential equations. There are two solutions provided for part (a). The first solution demonstrates how to deduce the conclusion by thinking in terms of the functions and their rates of change. The second approach illustrates a rigorous algebraic demonstration that the two populations can never be equal.
Students construct paper recombinant plasmids to simulate the methods genetic engineers use to create modified bacteria. They learn what role enzymes, DNA and genes play in the modification of organisms. For the particular model they work on, they isolate a mammal insulin gene and combine it with a bacteria's gene sequence (plasmid DNA) for production of the protein insulin.
Students learn how to effectively deal with bullying by participating in literature response groups and writing about when they experienced a similar situation or emotion as a fictional character.
Bagages est un film qui donne la parole et la scène à des adolescents de l’école secondaire Paul-Gérin-Lajoie-d’Outremont nouvellement arrivés à Montréal. On découvre leur récit de migration et d’intégration à travers des ateliers d’art dramatique, des mises en scènes théâtrales et des entrevues où ils se révèlent à nous. Ils témoignent d’un « ailleurs » et d’un « avant » qui deviendront « ici » et « maintenant ». Ils sont jeunes, mais parlent de leur parcours avec une sagesse déconcertante, une émotion à faire trembler les plus durs et une authenticité désarmante.
**Il existe une mini-leçon pour le film Bagages. Le lien est trouvé sur ce site.
This series of word problems requires students to apply the concepts of factors and common factors in a context.
This word problem requires students to use fractions to solve it.
Voici une série de balados pour les élèves de la 4e à la 9e année. La plupart ont aussi des outils pédagogiques.
Cette série est très bonne pour pratiquer l'écoute.
Students visualize and interact with concepts already learned, specifically algebraic equations and solving for unknown variables. They construct a balancing seesaw system (LEGO® Balance Scale) made from LEGO MINDSTORMS® parts and digital components to mimic a balancing scale. They are given example algebraic equation problems to analyze, configure onto the balance scale, and evaluate by manipulating LEGO pieces and gram masses that represent terms of an equation such as unknown variables, coefficients and integers. Digital light sensors, built into the LEGO Balance Scale, detect any balance or imbalances displayed on the balancing scale. The LEGO Balance Scale interactively issues a digital indication of balance or imbalance within the system. If unbalanced, students continue using the LEGO Balance Scale until they are confident in their understanding of solving algebraic equations. The goal is for students to become confident in solving algebraic equations by fundamentally understanding the basics of algebra and real-world algebraic applications.
Students follow the steps of the engineering design process as they design and construct balloons for aerial surveillance. After their first attempts to create balloons, they are given the associated Estimating Buoyancy lesson to learn about volume, buoyancy and density to help them iterate more successful balloon designs.Applying their newfound knowledge, the young engineers build and test balloons that fly carrying small flip cameras that capture aerial images of their school. Students use the aerial footage to draw maps and estimate areas.
