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

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

STEM Physics

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

STEM Chemistry

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

STEM Chemistry

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

STEM Chemistry

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

STEM Engineering

In this semester-long activity, students design and analyze mine ventilation systems as well as problem-solving skills.
