Students learn how to use wind energy to combat gravity and create lift by creating their own tetrahedral kites capable of flying. They explore different tetrahedron kite designs, learning that the geometry of the tetrahedron shape lends itself well to kites and wings because of its advantageous strength-to-weight ratio. Then they design their own kites using drinking straws, string, lightweight paper/plastic and glue/tape. Student teams experience the full engineering design cycle as if they are aeronautical engineers—they determine the project constraints, research the problem, brainstorm ideas, select a promising design and build a prototype; then they test and redesign to achieve a successful flying kite. Pre/post quizzes and a worksheet are provided.

Inspired by plans for a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) in Saskatchewan, our Grade 9 Team embarked on a cross-curricular project. Exploring SMRs' construction, operations, and impacts, we integrated indigenous perspectives on Treaty, Truth and Reconciliation, UNDRIP, and Duty to Consult. Through this, we aim to understand SMRs' implications while honoring indigenous voices.In the folder, you will find:1. Unit Plan2. Assignment Bundle - PDF3. Assignment Bundle - Word Docs4. Resources
