Students are introduced to the genre of multimedia presentations through a review and analysis of online presentations. They then apply what they have learned to create their own multimedia presentations.
Through two lessons and their associated activities, students do the work of scientists by designing their own experiments to answer questions they generate. Through a simple activity involving surface tension, students learn what a hypothesis isâand isn'tâand why generating a hypothesis is an important aspect of the scientific method. In the second activity, with bubble gum to capture their interest, students learn to design and conduct controlled experiments to answer their own questions about the amounts of sugar (or artificial sweetener) in bubble or chewing gum.
FULL COURSES are available here for students.

Les jeunes artistes peuvent réaliser des projets étape par étape, apprécier des oeuvres d'art contemporain, pratiquer des techniques variées, explorer des thématiques de l'art de Riopelle, et exposer leurs propres créations dans la Galerie Rio!
« Le Studio Riopelle a été mis sur pied dans le cadre des célébrations du centenaire de Jean Paul Riopelle en tant que programme éducatif.
...
La création de la Fondation Jean Paul Riopelle a été inspirée par le rêve de l’artiste, qui souhaitait transmettre sa passion pour l’art, sa vision, et insuffler aux prochaines générations d’artistes le désir d’explorer, d’innover et de surpasser leur potentiel créatif. »
« Chaque projet comporte une multitude de ressources qui peuvent être exploitées de façon granulaire, c’est-à-dire par petits éléments indépendants. Ainsi, on peut utiliser une vidéo, une technique, une œuvre ou une autre ressource de façon autonome selon les besoins. »
Students take an in-depth look at what goes into planning a research project, which prepares them to take the lead on their own projects. Examining a case study, students first practice planning a research project that compares traditional cook stoves to improved cook stoves for use in the developing world. Then they compare their plans to one used in the real-world by professional researchers, gaining perspective and details on the thought and planning that goes into good research work. Then students are provided with example materials, a blank template and support to take them from brainstorming to completing a detailed research plan for their own air quality research projects. Conducting students’ AQ-IQ research studies requires additional time and equipment beyond this planning activity. Then after the data is collected and analyzed, teams interpret the data and present summary research posters by conducting the next associated activity Numerous student handouts and a PowerPoint® presentation are provided.
Students observe natural selection in action and investigate the underlying mechanism, including random mutation and differential fitness based on environmental characteristics. They do this through use of the free AVIDA-ED digital evolution software application.

This is a lesson about the electromagnetic spectrum. Learners begin by arranging a set of picture cards; in the discussion afterwards, this activity is related to the electromagnetic spectrum as an arrangement of energy waves. Next, using a clothesline to model a logarithmic scale, they add in the electromagnetic spectrum. Finally, learners conduct several simple tests to detect other types of radiation. This activity requires access to a sunny outdoor location and the use of ultraviolet light-sensitive beads.
In this activity about spectroscopy, learners build a spectroscope, learn about graphing spectra, and then identify elements in gas tubes using their spectra. The activity concludes as learners graph the spectra of different materials. Essential materials required for this activity include spectrum light tubes, the power source for spectrum light tubes, and diffraction grating material.
This resource has many great suggestions on how to avoid being distracted by technology when studying and how to use technology to your advantage.
