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.

STEM Biology

Students play the roles of protein complexes to see how electrons, protons, and energy moves through the ETC to produce ATP.

Health science

Students build a client "chart" based on a set of basic pathophysiology and contextual elements

Environmental science

The aim of this activity is to provide students with an overview of survey design and execution.

Social sciences

In this multiple-class activity, students explore a chosen neighborhood in Montreal and investigate significant social issues

STEM Chemistry

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

STEM Biology

Taking the role of a biologist, students statistically determine how different drug treatments can affect amoeba cell shape.

STEM Biology

In this activity students take on the role of a geneticist helping an individual recently diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.

Environmental science

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

Languages and Literature

In this multiple-class activity, students build a toolkit of essay-writing skills through analyzing a short story text.
