Active Learning Activities

Active learning activities are tailored to specific learning outcomes and content. They incorporate one or more of the evidence-based strategies. Structured to expose their theoretical underpinnings, the activities can be used by practitioners and researchers alike.

Mathematics

In groups, students learn about orthogonality and cross products by creating geometrical shapes.

Chemistry

Students use PhET simulation to learn how factors affect reaction rate (collision theory) through hands-on activities

STEM Chemistry

This activity takes a look at the environmental impact of mining and the quantification of environmental contaminants.

Languages and Literature General

This activity has students challenge the literal meaning of a text (ie. the supernatural explanation for a murder).

STEM Biology Chemistry Engineering

History

Social sciences History
