The Fur Trade in Canada and the NWC

The Fur Trade in Canada and the NWC

Rating

In Pursuit of Adventure: The Fur Trade in Canada and the North West Company is a scholarly research site, which illustrates and documents, in part, the heroic age of the fur trade in Canada by examining the exploits of the North West Company and other Montreal-based fur trading companies at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth century. The story of the North West Company is closely tied to the evolving economic, geographic and political history of Canada and Quebec, especially after France seceded Quebec to Great Britain in 1763. At the core of this site are the full texts of thirty-eight manuscripts that are known collectively as the Masson Papers and cover the period ca 1790-1820. The patrimonial importance of these diaries is of the first order and provide important insights into the history of the North West Company and the fur trade in general.

Future Goals - Hockey Scholar from Everfi (6 Math Lessons, 6 Science Lessons)

Rating

The National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) have partnered to launch the Future Goals program, a North-American initiative that provides K-12 students with STEM education. EVERFI’s Hockey Scholar course, with both a math and science edition, leverages highly interactive gameplay and the sport of hockey to reinforce key concepts like scientific thinking and data analysis, exposing students to foundational STEM concepts through real-life applications.
This Course Covers Foundational STEM Concepts Scientific Thinking,Data/Graphical Analysis

Uncover The Ice - Students derive area formula and proper units of measurement to calculate the area of each section of ice as they remove covering.
Area, units, unit square, square meters, formula 4 SS4.2 5 SS5.1-4 6 SS6.2 7 SS7.2 8 SS8.2-3

The Pass - Students measure and ﬁnd patterns between angles lying on a straight line, by setting up a pass that bounces off the boards and discover the Law of Reﬂection based on their data. Protractor, degrees, right angle, straight angles, Law of Reﬂection, adjacent angles 6 SS6.1, SS6.3 7 SS7.1, SS7.3 8 OP8.1

The Shot - Students explore the interaction between applied force and frictional force and use this knowledge to hit speciﬁc targets on the ice.
Force, magnitude, direction, friction, Newton’s 1st Law 5 FM5.1-3 6 FL6.2

Speed - Students record and calculate a player’s average speed (using d = v/t formula) over short and long sprint distances Rate, units of distance (m, km, mi), trials, average, rounding, formula 5 SP5.3 6 SP6.1, N6.8 7 SP7.1-2 8 P8.1, N8.3

The Skate Blades - Students help players stop on a certain target based on the radius of hollow of their skate blades, and use this data to ﬁgure out the correlation between radius of hollow and stopping distance. Variables, radius, correlation 5 P5.1, FM5.1 6 P6.1, P6.3, FL6.3 7 P7.1, SS7.2, SP7.2 8 P8.1

This week we are exploring alternative energy sources. We'll look at how biomass can be burned as a fuel source, how hydrogen can be used in a fuel cell to generate electrical power, and how nuclear fission provides power to the grid. We'll also discuss how nuclear fusion might someday do the same without any radioactive waste.

Futurism and Constructivism: Crash Course Theater #39

Futurism and Constructivism: Crash Course Theater #39

Rating

It's time to go Back...to the Future. By which I mean, we're going back into the past to talk about Futurism. Which seems like it would be cool, but it was started by this terrible guy Martinetti, who also wrote the Italian Fascist manifesto. He was just the worst, but, at least he was the worst in a way that makes a pretty compelling video.
We'll also check in with the Russian theater, and learn about generally nicer Futurist Vsevolod Meyerhold, who also was vey influential in constructivism. So get ready to fire up the meaning machine and learn!

GAP Infusion Poster

Rating

Teachers understand that there are many layers of content, outcomes, skills, and experiences that our students require throughout their educational journey to become competent 21st century learners. Teachers have must dos, such as curricular outcomes and assessment, but there are also many additional elements to provide enrichment to learning for students. All of these layers can become overwhelming if only considered from the perspective of teaching these elements in silos. GAP or Grade Alike Planning in Sun West has offered opportunities to teachers to reimagine these elements by infusing them together. The GAP Infusion Poster illustrates a visual of this philosophy where many elements are blended thoughtfully together to meet many learning outcomes, provide many opportunities, and give students' voice and choice in their learning by exploring their interests and learning needs.

Games That Build Social and Emotional Skills

Games That Build Social and Emotional Skills

Rating

Classrooms are an ideal place to model and practice social and emotional (SEL) skills, and educational games are a perfect match for SEL. Learning games allow students to inhabit worlds and points-of-view and test out approaches to life in a safe environment where taking risks is encouraged.

The 27 SEL paid/free apps and games on this list will help students expand their worldviews, understand the needs of others, identify and reflect on their own feelings, and gain a more rounded view of themselves. Some are quick experiences focused on particular struggles or skills, while others are more in-depth and aimed at broader coverage of SEL competencies.
