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

Before class, students read an article and gather 5 elements. In class, they "pool" findings and sort into categories.

Chemistry

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

STEM Biology

STEM Mathematics

STEM Biochemistry

Physics Interdisciplinary STEM

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

History

STEM Biology

Students take the role of an ecologist and try to analyze species behaviours and predict population change.

Social sciences
