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.

Humanities Social sciences

Students analyze a film or piece of media watched in the course using two concepts: climax and catharsis.

Physics STEM

These mini-video projects require students to engage with course concepts and make connections to the world in which we live.

STEM Physics Interdisciplinary

This activity helps students improve their quality of reading annotations using platforms like Perusall.

Humanities

Physics STEM

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

Biology STEM

Physics STEM

Students measure the mass of a car using diagrams to find equations of motion describing stages - acceleration & deceleration

Physics STEM

Through this activity students analyze 1D kinematic problems & see examples of both constant velocity and acceleration.

Physics STEM

In this activity, students will find the muzzle velocity of a foam dart gun and predict its maximum range.

Physics STEM

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