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 play the roles of protein complexes to see how electrons, protons, and energy moves through the ETC to produce ATP.

Mathematics

In groups, students learn about orthogonality and cross products by creating geometrical shapes.

Social sciences Psychology

Teams explore Gardner's Theory, present one component, summarize presentation content, and conduct a self-assessment.

Chemistry

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

STEM Chemistry

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