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.

Biology Environmental science Geography

A self-guided walk exploring how – and why – Earth changed over its 4.6 billion year history.

STEM Physics

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

Interdisciplinary STEM Physics

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

STEM Biology Chemistry Engineering

Environmental science

In this activity, students learn to define sustainability and apply this to a single Montreal neighbourhood.

Social sciences History

Students interview two members of their family to collect information about their family history and present it in class.

STEM Chemistry

Environmental science

The aim of this project is to get students thinking about facts and concepts related to rivers in the field (in real life!).
