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.

Mathematics

In teams, students explore the binary number system and create parameters for an octal number system.

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.

Environmental science

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