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.
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.

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 including multiple articles and videos available for students to explore the many science concepts being learned in the classroom.
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!

"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."

"Participating classes will explore how indoor environmental conditions influence human health, and identify the best conditions for healthy living. This knowledge is important not only on Earth, but also on the International Space Station (ISS), the future Lunar Gateway, and as long-duration space travel progresses, maybe even on Mars!"
"Students and educators will study the key environmental conditions that are monitored and managed to keep astronauts healthy on the ISS. Students will measure environmental conditions such as temperature, CO2, and relative humidity in their classroom and submit the data to a national database. After developing their understanding of optimal ranges, and collecting data on their current environment, students will make a plan for classroom environmental improvement. The national Living Space database allows students to compare their classroom data with information from other participating classrooms in Canada as well as data from the ISS!"
