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.

Physics STEM

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

Humanities Interdisciplinary

Physics STEM

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

Environmental science

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

Chemistry STEM

Engineering STEM

This activity's goal is to familiarize students with the peer review process and teach them how to accept peer criticism.

Chemistry STEM

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

Health science STEM

Physics STEM

Students use the Tracker software to analyze projectile motion to determine which equations fit the plots produced.

Physics STEM

Students learn to analyze data using spreadsheet programs and gain a deeper understanding of conservation of energy.
