TEACHING STRATEGIES & RESOURCES

Ray Diagram Instructional Video (SNC2D)

This video is recorded using Screencast-O-Matic and is developed for students as a review on ray diagrams. Students will learn how to draw ray diagrams by applying the imaging rules and then find images with a converging lens.

Climate Change Poem (SNCP/D)

For a climate change lesson, students apply their learning by using their creative writing skills to write a poem as they reflect on environmental and economic issues in society.

SBI3C Resource Website

This website is a useful resource for the Grade 11 College Biology course, though the lessons, labs, case studies, and activities can be modified for the university level biology, or other grades. Two other teacher candidates and I created this website as a tool with a variety of resources for the Microbiology, Anatomy of Mammals, and Plants in the Natural Environment strands of the SBI3C Ontario Science curriculum.

STEM GPS Tracker Project (SVN3E)

This STEM project was created using LiveBinder with 3 other teacher candidates for the Grade 11 Environmental Science (SVN3E) course. Students will learn the skills and techniques needed to build a GPS tracker and over the duration of two weeks will use their scientific investigation skills to record and analyze data of daily activity.

STEM Case Study (SES 4U)

This Colonization of Mars Case Study was developed with 3 other teacher candidates for the Grade 12 Earth and Space Science (SES 4U) course. This case study includes a variety of assessment and teaching strategies including a K-W-L Chart, Cornell framework, consequence maps, cost-benefit analysis, and a presentation.

Digital Video Game (SBI3C)

I created the Digestive System Game using the Scratch coding program. This game is an interactive educational resource designed for the Anatomy of Mammals strand in the Grade 11 College Biology course. During this game, students will identify organs, and explain the relationships between the structures and functions of the digestive system. This game provides an opportunity to diagnose students' misconceptions, consolidate learning, and review curriculum material!

This storyboard was created as part of the research and development phase. To play the Digestive System Game, click here.
