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.

Social sciences Psychology

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

Physics

A first class ice-breaker activity introducing the nature of science.

Interdisciplinary Humanities

STEM Physics

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

STEM Chemistry

Students use a matching game to pair chemical compounds and their characteristics using a set of question cards.

STEM Chemistry

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

STEM Chemistry

STEM Physics

STEM Physics

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