"he Trans-Canadian Research & Environmental Education (TREE) program helps students explore the environmental history of their communities by analyzing trembling aspen tree cores and soil samples. TREE engages in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) topics as well as social studies with Indigenous perspectives. The program was originally written to connect with Grade 8 curriculum but is easily adaptable and connects to concepts in grades 6-12."

Students are challenged to find a way to get school t-shirts up into the stands during sporting events. They work with a real client (if possible, such as a cheerleading squad, booster club or band) to determine the requirements and constraints that would make the project a success, including a budget constraint. They think “outside of the box” to come up with lots of ideas. Then they mock-up small-scale model(s) of their best, most feasible ideas for testing, before making full-scale usable devices that they further refine and then demonstrate and deliver to the client.

Today we're going to walk through a couple of statistical approaches to answer the question: "is coffee from the local cafe, Caf-fiend, better than that other cafe, The Blend Den?" We'll build a two sample t-test which will tell us how many standard errors away from the mean our observed difference is in our tasting experiment, and then we'll introduce a matched pair t-tests which allow us to remove variation in the experiment. All of these approaches rely on the test statistic framework we introduced last episode.

Students come to understand static electricity by learning about the nature of electric charge, and different methods for charging objects. In a hands-on activity, students induce an electrical charge on various objects, and experiment with electrical repulsion and attraction.

The Take Me Outside Organization believes in a future where spending time outside learning, playing and exploring is a regular and significant part of every student's day. The website has a excellent teaching resources that include ready to go activities for all ages that connect to learning outside.

This lesson introduces students to the art of designing an airplane through paper airplane constructions. The goal is that students will learn important aircraft design considerations and how engineers must iterate their designs to achieve success. Students first follow several basic paper airplane models, after which they will then design their own paper airplane. They will also learn how engineers make models to test ideas and designs.

Students learn how scientific terms are formed using Latin and Greek roots, prefixes and suffixes, and on that basis, learn to make an educated guess about the meaning of a word. Students are introduced to the role played by metaphor in language development.

This is a challenge-based activity set designed to have students explore and research the Magnetospheric MultiScale Mission (MMS). Students will explore the purpose and relevance of the mission as well as the scientific methodologies. Activities include application of the scientific method, problem solving strategies, research, collaboration, critical thinking and communication. Links to resources and appropriate web 2.0 tools are provided through a shared livebinder.

The TakingITGlobal Climate Change Youth Guide to Action is intended to inspire, inform and involve you in taking action on climate change.

Introducing TakingITGlobal's official HIV/AIDS Youth Guide to Action! This comprehensive guide contains inspiring stories and useful resources for youth; all the necessary tools to help carry out your project, raise awareness, and help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.

Présentation du Guide officiel de TakingITGlobal sur l'action jeunesse contre le VIH/sida ! Ce guide complet contient des histoires inspirantes et des ressources utiles pour les jeunes ; tous les outils nécessaires pour mener à bien votre projet, sensibiliser et contribuer à stopper la propagation du VIH/sida.

TakingITGlobal's Guide to Action is designed to help you turn your ideas and dreams into reality. The main guide and the three topical guides are workbooks for you to download, use and share. The three topical guides are listed under their own entries in OER Commons.

In this activity, the students will apply the concepts they learned regarding mass, volume and density in the previous activities to design a boat.

During the unit of Native Studies students were introduced to First Nation's Talking Circles. Students were introduced to the concept of a talking circle and proceeded to collaborate with one another to determine the rules and protocols that will be used during their talking circle.

"IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START!
The financial education of our children should start early. CFEE's Talk With Our Kids About Money program provides teachers and parents with free tools and resources designed/geared to help them have relevant/age appropriate conversations about money."

You will need to register to use this resource, but it is free.

This task presents a foundational result in geometry, presented with deliberately sparse guidance in order to allow a wide variety of approaches. Teachers should of course feel free to provide additional scaffolding to encourage solutions or thinking in one particular direction. We include three solutions which fall into two general approaches, one based on reference to previously-derived results (e.g., the Pythagorean Theorem), and another conducted in terms of the geometry of rigid transformations.

The construction of the tangent line to a circle from a point outside of the circle requires knowledge of a couple of facts about circles and triangles. First, students must know, for part (a), that a triangle inscribed in a circle with one side a diameter is a right triangle. This material is presented in the tasks ''Right triangles inscribed in circles I.'' For part (b) students must know that the tangent line to a circle at a point is characterized by meeting the radius of the circle at that point in a right angle: more about this can be found in ''Tangent lines and the radius of a circle.''

Goal: To teach Tangrams or “Ancient Chinese Puzzle” to Grade 3 Class.
This lesson connected to Social Studies, Art and Math.

Social Studies IN3.1 Analyze daily life in a diversity of communities.

This app provides focused lessons designed to boost typing speed and accuracy very quickly. Students can see a heat map of where their fingers are hitting the keyboard to better understand where they can make improvements. The advanced levels will take them through tough tapping patterns, symbols, numbers, and complicated sentences.
