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.

General STEM Physics

Students learn to build a conceptual model describing a Mechanics-based situation and practice mathematical problem-solving.

STEM Chemistry

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

STEM Chemistry

This activity encourages students to consider the nature of a chemistry problem and to identify the tools to solve it.

Environmental science

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

STEM Chemistry

In this activity, students are presented with the concepts of nomenclature in organic chemistry to encourage self learning.

Environmental science

In this semester-long activity, students visit a farm several times to engage in a critical analysis of that ecosystem.

Environmental science

The aim of this project is to get students thinking about facts and concepts related to rivers in the field (in real life!).
