My creative artifact is about Ukrainian Easter Eggs also known as Pysanka. Students made authentic Pysanka using the traditional methods for a cultural Ukrainian expression of the Easter celebrations
We know that if we take an animal out of its habitat, it will have a difficult time surviving. We also know that there's a lot more going on in ecosystems than just temperature. In fact, there are so many elements in ecosystems, that if just one leaves or gets out of whack, it can be terrible for the whole thing. This video examines how Spider Monkeys are a vital component of a rain forest habitat and what would happen if they weren't part of the ecosystem.

Historians love to debate each other. So some of them pointed out that the first half of this revolution looks a lot different from the second. Let's chat about industry, cars, and Henry Ford.
-Arson and explosions often present complex and difficult circumstances to investigate due to the fact that the perpetrator has thoroughly planned the act, is not present during the act, and the destruction is so extensive.
-The criminalist’s function is rather limited to detecting and identifying relevant chemical materials collected at the scene and reconstructing and identifying ignitorsor detonating mechanisms.

Forensic Science is the application of the scientific method to solving mysteries. Forensic scientists draw on skills from a number of disciplines in order to gather evidence and draw conclusions about an event. Teachers may use the subject of forensic science to stimulate interest in the various disciplines of science among their students. The discipline is particularly useful in the classroom because it emphasizes hands-on learning and gives students the opportunity to develop their reasoning skills.
Many of the activities on this site use computers and computational science. Such methods are useful to forensic scientists because they allow scientists to view evidence with greater clarity, to simulate specific events and to save time by automating tedious processes.
This site covers everything you wanted to know about forensics in Canada, from forensic science to medical examiners.
This student material on forensics covers the following:
- Blood
- Experiment Inventory
- Bloodstain Analysis
Gamified Forestry Pathway modules are now freely available for students and teachers on the ChatterHigh platform.

This documentary introduces us to thousands of Indigenous Canadians who enlisted and fought alongside their countrymen and women during World War II, even though they could not be conscripted. Ironically, while they fought for the freedom of others, they were being denied equality in their own country and returned home to find their land seized.
Today we are exploring the world of formal organizations. We’ll go back to the historical process of rationalization and its impact on organizations in the form of bureaucracy and then discuss how organizations change in response to their organizational environment. We will also go over the negative consequences of rationalization in organizations.
Formative Assessments (assessment for learning) refer to the ongoing process that students and teachers engage in when they: focus on the learning goals (know where they are going) take stock of where current work is in relation to that goal (know where they are now) take action to move closer to the goal (know how to close the gap)
Formative assessments are used to gather evidence, both formally and informally, for the purpose of improving learning.
It is not the instrument that is formative; it is the use of the information gathered, by whatever means, to adjust teaching and learning, that makes it formative.
