National Science Laboratory Video Lessons for Indigenous Youth
Rating
0.0 stars

First Nations University has developed a new science teaching resource called the National Science Laboratory Video Lessons for Indigenous Youth. The resource includes a variety of materials that bring together Indigenous knowledge and modern science, such as interviews with elders and knowledge keepers, laboratory manuals, and videos of lab experiments completed by students at Carlton Comprehensive High School in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

FNU professor and project lead Arzu Sardarli explained that Indigenous knowledge on topics such as heat retention in teepees can be explained using the laws of physics and applied toward house construction today. "It's important not only for Indigenous students, it's very helpful for any student and I hope what we created within this project will be used by mainstream schools, too,” said Sardarli.

The educational materials developed include interviews with Elders and Knowledge Keepers, and laboratory manuals and videos for high school Biology, Chemistry and Physics classes.

** Cours destiné aux adultes / enseignant.e.s et non aux élèves **

« Bienvenue à cet apprentissage en ligne Nisitohtamowin ᓂᓯᑐᐦᑕᒧᐃᐧᐣ. Cette séance d’apprentissage en ligne d’une heure vise à favoriser la compréhension des perspectives autochtones au Canada. Il s’agit d’une ressource offerte gratuitement au public pendant le mois de juin afin de souligner le Mois national de l’histoire autochtone.

La prise de mesures pour comprendre les perspectives autochtones peut mener à la réconciliation, à de meilleures relations et à diverses occasions, notamment en ce qui a trait à l’économie, aux partenariats communautaires, à l’environnement et aux affaires. Ce cours ne constitue qu’un premier pas vers la compréhension. Nous invitons tous les participants à chercher d’autres occasions d’apprentissage, que ce soit auprès des Autochtones de leur région ou de l’Université des Premières Nations du Canada. »

** « Ce cours aborde des sujets destinés aux adultes et pourrait ne pas convenir à tous les âges. Il explore l’histoire des Autochtones au Canada, notamment les pensionnats et les relations entre les races. Des sujets délicats sont abordés, comme la violence faite aux enfants, les agressions sexuelles, les actes violents et la mort. Ces sujets peuvent provoquer des réactions émotives chez certaines personnes et nous encourageons celles qui en ont besoin à chercher des ressources de soutien locales. » **
