Through this lesson and its associated activity, students explore the role of biomedical engineers working for pharmaceutical companies. First, students gain background knowledge about what biomedical engineers do, how to become a biomedical engineer, and the steps of the engineering design process. The goal is to introduce biomedical engineering as medical problem solving as well as highlight the importance of maintaining normal body chemistry. Students participate in the research phase of the design process as it relates to improving the design of a new prescription medication. During the research phase, engineers learn about topics by reading scholarly articles written by others, and students experience this process. Students draw on their research findings to participate in discussion and draw conclusions about the impact of medications on the human body.

Students fill-in by listing what they're looking for, what they already know, and how they think other people would describe the same topic. Feel free to make a copy of the document and or modify it for your students.

The students will direct their own learning that incorporates collaboration, critical thinking, and technology to research, gather facts, and prepare a presentation to their peers on a country of their choice.

The following is a resource for teaching research skills to grades 1 and 2 students. This works with the 21st century skills SECRET framework, but would also easily work with the 7Cs. It looks at teaching them:
How to ask a question
How to search for information
How to evaluate resources
How to take notes
How to share your learning

Student groups will design and complete the building of a tower- discovering the importance of writing a procedure to help solve Agriculture Studies challenges through research and innovation. They will also explore different areas of Agriculture Studies and continue to build their knowledge through brainstorming and class discussions.

Project-based learning, or PBL, challenges students to design and engage in more authentic, extended, and complex learning. But while PBL is a trusted strategy for increasing student engagement and learning, it's not easy to orchestrate. There are tons of moving pieces, and if you're doing it right, students will be engaging in a variety of interest-driven projects all with various needs and on different schedules. So how do you manage it all? Tech can be a huge help. This list gathers some useful productivity and organization tools that can help both teachers and students keep track of, finish, and assess projects. There are also a few tools designed specifically for PBL, as well as plug-and-play PBL experiences.

A great non-fiction news site with a wide variety of articles written at differentiated Lexile levels.

There are daily quizzes and immediate feedback for students.

The site offers several resources, links and tips for teachers. The critical thinking prompts at the end of each article help spark student discussions and response or reflection opportunities.

Articles are divided into K-4, 5-6, 7-8 and High School.

Unarchived examines “traditional” archives in British Columbia, those rooted in European colonial practices upheld by government, academic and other settler institutions. Records preserved in such repositories centre and privilege the stories of the dominant culture, perpetuating the re-telling of biased histories. This film challenges typical archival practice and encourages the viewer to question what is not being told, to make space for diverse voices and to build capacity for alternative archives.
