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.

Languages and Literature

In this multiple-class activity, students write three 250 texts, then learn to revise their writing based on peer feedback.

STEM Physics

In this activity, students learn to apply the principal of superposition to two new sound contexts.

STEM Physics

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

STEM Chemistry

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

Environmental science

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

Languages and Literature

In this multiple-class activity, students write a “texte expressif”, applying theory & grammatical lessons learned in class.

STEM Chemistry

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.

STEM Chemistry

Using cards in a "Chemicard' deck, students determine which ionic compounds are most likely to form.

STEM Physics

In this activity, students learn to create and interpret motion diagrams using a notebook file in interactive whiteboards.
