Birthdays Around the World
Rating
0.0 stars

Our project was to have our students compare birthday celebrations in other countries with those of their own. Students learned about birthdays in 3 other countries and then planned and carried out birthday parties that they hosted and attended. The parties were recorded on ipads. At the end they had to self-assess their role. The outcomes were for the students to be able to tell about traditions and celebrations in their families along with their classmates' and to be able to tell how families around the world are similar and different.

Bison Rubbing Stones
Bison Rubbing Stones
Rating
0.0 stars

This Government of Manitoba article describes how glaciers helped to form bison rubbing stones. So how did these great big rocks end up in the middle of the prairie? Bison rubbine stones are what geologists call "erratics". Erratic stones are defined as rocks that are differenet compositionally from the rocks that form the surface on which they are found. Erratics were moved from their original homes by the formation of the glaciers thousands of years ago. As the ice formed it ripped chunks of stone and gravel from the earth and carried them across the landscape. Several thousand years later, the glaciers started melting. When the glacier was no longer able to carry the weight of the boulder, it was simply dropped. They were left scattered over the landscape, some the size of fieldstones, some car-sized and others as big as a house.

Black Communities in Canada: A Rich History
Rating
0.0 stars

Now more than ever is the time to consider the realities of Canadian-Black communities. Explore our collection of films by distinguished Black filmmakers, creators, and allies. We’ve selected a group of NFB films that portray the multi-layered lives of Canada’s diverse Black communities. The incredible stories of strength, courage and perseverance in the face of adversity that these films present are not often found in mainstream history books. Black communities and cultures have been part of Canadian history from its earliest days, but sadly, their contributions and the lessons they can teach are rarely studied at the elementary or secondary level in schools.

The purpose of this Guide is to enhance your students' knowledge and appreciation of the Black Canadian experience, drawing from Lawrence Hill's award-winning historical fiction, The Book of Negroes, the remarkable journey of Aminata Diallo and the historic British document known as the "Book of Negroes." Structured around themes of journey, slavery, human rights, passage to Canada and contemporary culture, this Guide asks students to examine issues of identity, equality, community, and nation-building in both a historical and contemporary context.

Black Marker Chromatography
Rating
0.0 stars

Science Background:

Most nonpermanent markers use inks that are made of colored pigments and water. On a coffee filter, the water in the ink carries the pigment onto the paper. When the ink dries, the pigment remains on the paper.

When you dip the paper in water, the dried pigments dissolve. As the water travels up the paper, it carries the pigments along with it. Different-colored pigments are carried along at different rates; some travel farther and faster than others. How fast each pigment travels depends on the size of the pigment molecule and on how strongly the pigment is attracted to the paper. Since the water carries the different pigments at different rates, the black ink separates to reveal the colors that were mixed to make it.

Chromatography is one of the most valuable techniques biochemists have for separating mixtures. It can be used to determine the ingredients that make up a particular flavor or scent, to analyze the components of pollutants, to find traces of drugs in urine, and to separate blood proteins in various species of animals (a technique that's used to determine evolutionary relationships).

Blended Learning Unit for Exploring Our Universe
Rating
0.0 stars

Over the past several years that I have taught Science 9, I always assigned a major
independent project to cover the outcomes in the Exploring Our Universe unit. Since this
unit is a favorite with my students, I began to integrate some instructional pieces above and
beyond their major projects, and ended up with a loose version of a blended learning unit.
Unlike the other units in Science 9, Exploring Our Universe lends itself well to blended
learning as the content can be easily comprehended by most students without lecture-style
teaching. Instead, students are provided with a range of instructional experiences, which
include small group work, computer-based learning, individual work areas, and teacherlead
small groups. Students have a choice for most activities, which means all the outcomes
will be covered, but the depth and areas of focus will vary from student to student. All
activities are self-pacing, and will receive either a formative or summative assessment
throughout the unit. As you will see, some activities work well as for both small group work
and individual work areas. We use Pearson Saskatchewan Science 9 as a textbook for this
unit
