Thème :

• Les simples machines composent les machines complexes
• Les machines complexes travaillent ensemble pour créer un produit  
• Personnes et machines ont tous un rôle à jouer

Description : Cet atelier en ligne de 60 minutes est une présentation interactive sur les machines complexes et une chaîne de montage (la chaîne de mise en conserve) dirigée par le staff du Gulf of Georgia Cannery site historique et national. Les élèves joueront le rôle de «détectives» et exploreront trois machines complexes clés sur la chaine de mise en conserve. Le personnel posera des questions et donnera aux étudiants la possibilité de voter pour répondre, et des indices pour aider à remplir leur feuille de travail.

Cette unité inclut:                                                                                         

• Une unité entièrement créée avec des Pré et Post activités, un workshop et un kit à utiliser dans la classe.
• Connection avec les Sciences Sociales
• Un workshop en ligne d’une heure avec un interprète
• De multitudes d’activités
• Des photos et vidéos historiques
• Un quiz kahoot
• Deux chasses au trésor
• Un mot mêlé

Bonus: Un kit physique peut être emprunté pour une semaine sans frais supplémentaires. Il inclut des répliques en bois de machines simples. Le kit doit être récupéré au lieu historique national Gulf of Georgia Cannery à Steveston. Des instructions seront incluses pour aider les élèves à approfondir leurs connaissances sur la façon dont les machines fonctionnent.

The intertidal zone is a wonderful and extreme exvironment for those who call it home. 

Along the west coast of Canada, the intertidal zone is home to an incredible diversity of organisms, all competing for the same space! When the tide is out, we can give you a tour of this habitat and discuss the biotic and abiotic factors that will influence life within this extreme environment.

Written to support distance learning but also useful for physically distanced teaching, a Tech-Up Learning Kit contains resources for both synchronous and/or asynchronous lessons. The teacher guide walks you through leading student activities over a series of sessions of approximately 30-45 minutes. Student activities are handouts for students to work through on their own as assigned, according to your own timeline and discretion.

In these activities, learners in Grades 4-6 will explore how parts of speech can be used to strengthen their understanding of variables.

Students will work towards writing their own Mad Lib Stories before using Scratch to code a Mad Lib story generator.

There is also an optional extension activity if you would like to build further on the coding concepts explored in these lessons.

This kit contains resources for both synchronous and asynchronous lessons.

Tech-Up Learning Specialists are available to support you with these kits.

THIS WORKSHOP, OFFERED VIRTUALLY, WILL INTRODUCE STUDENTS TO THE BASICS OF CODING BY USING A VIRTUAL OZOBOT EMULATOR.  

This workshop introduces students to computational thinking and the technology computer programmers may use. Students work through a series of challenges on Shape Tracer, a simulated Ozobot environment. They will learn how to program the robot to change colour, use loops and move in the most efficient way. This workshop will cover basic coding practices, no coding experience is required. If students have a physical Ozobot they can flash their code to their robot to see it play out in real life.

STUDENTS WILL UNDERSTAND THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CODING AND HOW ROBOTS WORK BY PROGRAMMING A VIRTUAL BEE ROBOT AND THEN GETTING IT TO COMPLETE A SERIES OF CHALLENGES. FOLLOWING THE WORKSHOP, STUDENTS WILL 'BEE' CONFIDENT TO COMPLETE FURTHER CODING CHALLENGES INDEPENDENTLY.

Intended for and geared towards overall early learners and newcomers to computer programming, students will be introduced to coding and robotics. In small groups, students will learn how to program a robot bee to execute a series of commands.

Students are introduced to computational thinking through offline coding. Students will discuss coding as a language and learn how to write and to follow a code using symbols. With these coding skills, students will be presented with a series of challenges and program a virtual bee robot to solve them. By the end of the workshop, students will understand how robots read code to perform a task. They will also be able to independently explore with the virtual robot platform after the workshop ends.

What exactly is plankton? We will collect a sample right from outside our front step and show you another world! These tiny creatures are found in all waters and have very cool life histories.

This one is a great follow up to the Oceanography trip!
