Science! Take some time to explore an area in Science or a passion area every day. You can use the learning outcomes as a guide, or just go where your passions take you. Learn something cool every day and share it with your family.
If you find there are too many resources to sort through, you can filter the results using the “Filter Resources” area on the left side of the screen. Select “Education Level” to narrow your results to a specific education level. (Please note - for the purposes of this site these "Education Levels" are used when filtering - Lower Primary = K-2, Upper Primary=3-5, Middle Years=6-8, High School=9-12)

Every Friday Science North will provide Kindergarten teachers with a pre-recorded video and printable resource.
Teachers will be able to share these YouTube videos and resources with students every week.
Included are classroom videos, student handouts, and offline lesson plans.
These videos and handouts can be sent to students to provide them with key concepts and activities that link to the curriculum.
The offline lesson plans provide a detailed explanation of the concepts and the procedure. This can be used to help teach the lesson. These will also be made available to students without internet access.

Although the vast majority of our children will not grow up to become science professionals, they are growing up in a world that requires scientific literacy and critical thinking skills. Technology will play a role in their lives that is unprecedented for previous generations. They will have to find solutions to climate change, unfamiliar diseases, animal extinction, overpopulation and possibly food shortages. It is crucial that we work together to help them be successful in this world.
Being a scientist is about asking questions and being curious, exploring and experimenting, figuring out how things work in the world – all things that children are naturally good at.
This site offers activities that will encourage children to follow their own natural curiosity, investigate, explore and discover. In science, there are no mistakes, only discoveries!

Activities and guides can be self-paced/self-directed by the learner, or facilitated with adults. Material encourages critical thinking, and learning across subjects (ex: integrating learning new vocabulary into math activities).
Resources available across subjects, searchable by grade level, subject, and domain within each subject (ex: fractions within mathematics).
Materials for early childhood and grades K-12. Freely available.

Seek by iNaturalist is an iOS/Android app that helps its users identify plants, animals, and fungi in their local area. Kids can see what species have been previously observed nearby, and can also photograph specimens themselves, either directly in the app or by pulling in photos from their device's photo roll. The app will then use its image recognition technology, based on the iNaturalist library of images, to match the observed plant, animal, or fungi to a database. If there's a match, a kid's find is placed in his or her collection, but it must be an exact match; when the app can't narrow it down to an exact species, it isn't added. As kids collect more and more species, they earn badges inside the app.
Once kids have made a match, or if they're perusing the lists of species that have been previously observed near them, the app shows facts about the species, including how many have been observed, the best time of year to spot the species, a map of where it has been seen, the scientific name, other photos of it, and a general description. Also, kids' own photographed sightings end up in the collection of local images, but it all remains anonymous. There's no registration required (or even available), and no user data is collected.
