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 Biology

Students are assigned molecular roles, and the class acts out the molecular events of skeletal muscle contraction.

STEM Biology

A cooperative game to guess Biology terms using creative, unique clues. Great for learning and reviewing terminology.

Biology Environmental science Geography

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

Mathematics

In teams, students explore the binary number system and create parameters for an octal number system.

Health science

In this fast-paced relay, teams match categories of information to finish first and win the game

Biology Health science

In teams, students will build a pedigree chart and determine inheritance patterns using inclusive pedigree practices.

STEM Physics

The aim of the activity is the application of concepts and math to solve complex problems.

STEM Physics

Students learn to build a conceptual model describing a situation involving an accelerating charged particle.
