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.

Interdisciplinary

In this activity, the snowball strategy links students' prior beliefs to a deeper inquiry of science education goals.

Chemistry

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

STEM Physics Interdisciplinary

This activity helps students improve their quality of reading annotations using platforms like Perusall.

Chemistry STEM

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

Chemistry STEM

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.
