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.

Health science

Case-based ranking & sorting activities based on pre-class quiz on exercise safety in a client with a cardiac condition.

STEM Health science

The purpose of this activity is to deepen students' understanding of cardiac pathophysiology.

STEM Physics

In this activity, students learn to apply the principal of superposition to two new sound contexts.

STEM Biology Health science

In this single-class activity, students use cards to match cells with their organelles and functions.

STEM Chemistry

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

STEM Chemistry

Students use a matching game to pair chemical compounds and their characteristics using a set of question cards.

STEM Chemistry

In this activity, students review chemical bond concepts, determine structures & calculate Hydrogen Deficiency (IHD).

Environmental science

In this semester-long activity, students visit a farm several times to engage in a critical analysis of that ecosystem.

STEM Biology

This is an application-based activity that draws upon lesson material students have seen in previous classes.

STEM Physics

In this activity, students learn to create and interpret motion diagrams using a notebook file in interactive whiteboards.
