Use the slippery sidewalks as inspiration to try this practical activity! Students work collaboratively to design and build a non-slip boot tread that uses friction to prevent slipping on an incline.
All materials are listed and provided including assessment and supporting media.
Explore this fun, new lesson with your classroom as students design and build a wearable social distancing device!
Watch a series of videos that will teach kids how to code and go on a variety of fun STEM adventures!
In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of decomposition - the breaking down of a problem into smaller parts to make the problem easier to solve. Students will also begin to explore the computational concepts of sequences and loops.
Includes a teacher's guide.

"In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of pattern recognition.
Pattern Recognition occurs when you can identify patterns. When you identify patterns, you can create rules that allow actions to be repeated automatically. Pattern recognition can also improve how quickly a problem can be solved."
The teacher's guide walks you through exactly how to use the broadcast in your classroom.
As part of their reporting process, they are required to report on participation and impact of our programs. If you could please take a moment to complete the following short survey with your students, it would be greatly appreciated.

In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of testing and evaluating.
Testing involves trying something and observing what happens.Evaluation is about using critical thinking and judgment to determine if a set of criteria are met. If not, then correction or improvement may be required. Computer programming tends to be an interactive process in which testing and evaluating are constantly occurring.
A teacher guide is also included.

This is one of the best K-12 Science resources available!
Resources are available for Grades Pre-school-12.
You can:
*Book an outreach visit from a scientist to teach STEM (science, technology, engineering & math) to your class
*Enter your Grade 6-8 students in team-based competitive enrichment events
*Use CurioCity with Grade 8-12 students to learn about STEM careers, Space and countless other topics with videos. You can also register and get amazing resources for STEM (in English or French) for FREE! (These are even aligned to SK curriculum!)
*Visit Ideapark for Pre-school to Grade 3 to register and receive access to a wealth of FREE STEM resources.
*Register for Tomatosphere to investigate the effects of outer space on seed germination with your class. Tomatosphere™ is a hands-on program that builds scientific inquiry and experimentation skills.
This site brings STEM discovery home. Let's Talk Science has a great selection of resources and activities for engaging children and youth at home. Check back often as more learning resource collections are added every week!
Beginning Thursday, April 16, 2020 students can participate in a live, virtual quiz show!
Designed as an enrichment event for Grades 6, 7, and 8, each weekly quiz will cover one of the eight Study Handbook chapters.
Test your STEM knowledge individually or with friends! Please note that students must register themselves for the virtual quiz show.
The English quiz will be offered each Thursday, beginning April 16 from 10-11 am ET and 1-2 pm PT.
The French quiz will be offered each Thursday, beginning April 16 from 2-3 pm ET.
Engage your Kindergarten to Grade 6 learners online with a weekly Flipgrid prompt. Each prompt provides a different STEM or digital literacy question or challenge.
To participate, students are asked to:
Consider the question or challenge and explore related links
Create your 1-2-minute video response. Get creative and involve your family, pets, or props!
Submit your video to the Let’s Talk Science Wonders Flipgrid page.
There is a new Let’s Talk Science Wonders prompt every Wednesday.
Update your skills, learning and understanding and learn about how to use these great resources at your own pace.
"In this 45-minute broadcast, students will explore the computational thinking skill of abstraction.
Abstraction reduces how hard a problem or task is by focusing on what's important. We do that by deciding what the important information is and then removing all the unnecessary details. Abstraction is also used when we want to have one object or word stand for an action."
