Uncountable times every day with the merest flick of a finger each one of us calls on electricity to do our bidding. What would your life be like without electricity? Students begin learning about electricity with an introduction to the most basic unit in ordinary matter, the atom. Once the components of an atom are addressed and understood, students move into the world of electricity. First, they explore static electricity, followed by basic current electricity concepts such as voltage, resistance and open/closed circuits. Next, they learn about that wonderful can full of chemicals the battery. Students may get a "charge" as they discover the difference between a conductor and an insulator. The unit concludes with lessons investigating simple circuits arranged "in series" and "in parallel," including the benefits and unique features associated with each. Through numerous hands-on activities, students move cereal and foam using charged combs, use balloons to explore electricity and charge polarization, build and use electroscopes to evaluate objects' charge intensities, construct simple switches using various materials in circuits that light bulbs, build and use simple conductivity testers to evaluate materials and solutions, build and experiment with simple series and parallel circuits, design and build their own series circuit flashlight, and draw circuits using symbols.

What is a Question Creation Chart (QC2)? The Question Creation Chart (also known as a Q-Chart or Q-Matrix) provides students with a framework for developing a range of personally meaningful questions, encompassing both close-ended factual questions and open-ended, divergent questions. (Adapted from Weiderhold, 1997).
Why use it? To provide students with a framework for creating their own divergent and convergent questions on a specific topic. To encourage students to think deeply about a topic. To help students strengthen their understanding and comprehension of a topic. To stimulate students’ prior knowledge about a topic. To collect information about students’ knowledge and understanding of a topic.

Working individually or in pairs, students compete to design, create, test and redesign free-standing, weight-bearing towers using Kapla(TM) wooden blocks. The challenge is to build the tallest tower while meeting the design criteria and minimizing the amount of material used all within a time limit. Students experiment with different geometric shapes used in structural designs and determine how design choices affect the height and strength of structures, becoming comfortable with the concepts of structural members and modeling.

The Resiliency Thought Bubbles project provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their knowledge of Microsoft Word. The assignment requires students to use critical thinking and creativity in writing their own original idea that demonstrates both Fixed Mindset and Resiliency. Students were shown a series of videos that demonstrate the meaning of Resiliency then challenged to use critical thinking when they wrote their own examples. Finally, I selected one student example from each of my six PAA Multimedia classes and created a bulletin board display; the display includes a Brain illustration that was a collaborative and creative endeavor between a grade ten student and a grade twelve student.
