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.

STEM Physics

In groups, students create GIFs to demonstrate and explain how mechanic principles apply in real-life scenarios.

Health science

Students build a client "chart" based on a set of basic pathophysiology and contextual elements

Environmental science

The aim of this activity is to provide students with an overview of survey design and execution.

STEM Biochemistry

STEM Chemistry

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