This escape room challenge contains eleven puzzles for students to practice their skills with basic chemistry skills. It was designed for the Ontario grade eleven course SCH3U, but may fit into other grades/courses as well (depending on your location). I have used it at the end of SCH3U as an exam review, but some puzzles could also be used at the beginning as review for grade 10 (or just at the end of SNC2D). Each puzzle leads to a code, which they can either show to their teacher for approval

This is a project from a French immersion class (FIF2D, but could fit into others as well depending on what you did) that I ran at the end of a mini unit about AI. It covers all four strands of the course (reading, writing, listening, speaking). This package includes the instructions, the rubrics and the handouts for students. We took two days in class to work on it plus a third day for presentations. Students must: Choose an article (in French) about an ethical issue involving AI (many possible

This escape room challenge contains seven puzzles for students to practice their skills with current electricity and circuits. It was designed for the Ontario grade nine course SNC1W, but may fit into other grades/courses as well (depending on your location). I usually use it at the end of the circuits unit so students can practice for their unit test, but it could potentially be used as a "how much do you remember" activity for a more advanced physics course. Each puzzle leads to a code, which

This is a simulation I created so students can explore energy choices in homes and practice calculating how much it would cost to use appliances. I created it for SNC1W in Ontario but it could realistically be used in any class where this subject is discussed. How it works: Students choose appliances to furnish their "house." They have the option to choose from budget appliances that use more energy or more expensive appliances that consume less energy.The game continues for 6 weeks. Each week,

This is an essay that I used at the end of a novel study of the book Un Sac de Billet. It includes instructions and a rubric for an essay where students discuss how the book would have been different if today's technologies existed. I had my students relate back specifically to technologies we discussed in the course (cell phones, social media, AI, etc.). but you could relate it to whatever technologies you want. You can check out my FIF2D course plans to see what topics I usually discuss durin

This is one of the resources mentioned in my FIF2D course plan. It includes discussion questions and a rubric to go along with the TV show Parallels. Students are in groups and they choose one question from each category to discuss, then discuss while the teacher observes conversational skills and comprehension of the TV series.

This is a course plan for grade 10 academic French Immersion (FIF2D). Depending on the level of the students (and where you're located), some activities could also be used for other grades, either higher or lower. Some parts are specific to the cultural part of the curriculum in grade 10, but could be modified, while others are not. The course covers a few main topics: - Novel study (Un Sac de Billes) - Media unit (mostly about social media) - TV series (we watch/study two TV series) - Grammar

This is a course plan for grade 9 academic and applied French (FSF1D/FSF1P). It was taught as a split class, but given that the two courses have similar curricula, it could be used for either. Depending on the level of the students, it could also be used for other grades, either higher or lower. It was also taught entirely online, but the activities can be modified to be done in person as well (many probably work better in person). No textbook was used. The course is divided into three units: -

This is a course plan SNC1WF (grade 9 destreamed science) in Ontario. While this course was taught in French, the plan is, for the most part, in English. The units are all individual and could be taught in any order, though some activities may require knowledge from a previous unit based on the way I structured it. It may also apply to other courses in other places. These are the units: - Chemistry (matter, properties of matter, atoms, molecules, phsical and chemical properties/changes) - Biolog

This is a course plan for a combined class of SCH3U and SCH4C (grade 11/12 chemistry, Ontario), although it could work for either as an individual course as well. The order of the lessons/grouping of information is more geared to follow the 11U textbook, however, all of the grade 12 curriculum expectations are met. There are no resources included, it is just a breakdown of what is being taught each day of the course and what types of activities are being completed. Each lesson was designed for

This is a course plan for the fifth level of English as a Second Language (ESLEO) in Ontario. Many of the activities included would work for students at various levels and could be adapted for other courses/levels as well. This class was also taught during summer school, so it is divided into 16 days with each day divided into longer periods than a regular class would have. There are more work periods built in than there would be in a usual class, but a lot of the material could still be used in

This is a course plan for an SNC2D class (grade 10 academic science, Ontario), although it could be modified to work for an applied level course as well, as much of the curriculum is similar. The units are all individual and could be taught in any order. Some of this material is likely applicable to other grade levels in areas outside of Ontario, which is why I have selected more than just grade 10. The units include: - Chemistry (chemicals, their properties, their reactions and acids/bases). -

This product includes 35 short reading passages (around 300 words), each with two discussion questions. I used this product in a way similar to the oral section of the DELF Exam - students have some time to read the passage and then create a short summary about it. Once they've presented their summary, we disucss it and I ask them some questions (I have included two questions for each passage). As most classes are smaller than 35, there are enough for each student to get their own passage, and t

This is a course plan for an SNC1P class (grade 9 applied science, Ontario), although it could be modified to work for an academic level course as well, as much of the curriculum is similar. The units are all individual and could be taught in any order. Some of this material is likely applicable to other grade levels in areas outside of Ontario, which is why I have selected more than just grade 9. The units include: - Chemistry (exploring matter) - Biology (sustainable ecosystems and human activ

This is a course plan for the fourth level of Englihs as a Second Language (ESLDO) in Ontario. Many of the activities included would work for students at various levels and could be adapted for other courses/levels as well. This class was also taught during summer school, so it is divided into 16 days with each day divided into four 90-minute periods. There are more work periods built in than there would be in a usual class, but a lot of the material could still be used in a regular class. It c

This is a course plan for a combined class of MPM1D and MFM1P (grade 9 academic and applied math, Ontario), although it could work for either as an individual course as well. The order of the lessons/grouping of information is more geared to follow the academic textbook, however, all of the applied expectations are also met. It could easily be modified (activities, order of lessons, etc.) to accommodate either of these courses in a non-combined class. There are no resources included, it is just

This is a short investigation in which students get to measure the mass of one mole of various substances and then try to connect those masses to the numbers found on the periodic table by answering a few questions. Other than the worksheet, teachers will need: - Beakers/other measuring containers - Balances - Two pure elements (whatever is available in your lab) - Water - Table salt - Sugar I put 30 minutes as the time it would take because that was the shortest time available, however, dependi

This is an investigation in which students measure angles to determine relationships between angles in various situations. It covers the following theorems: - Supplementary angles - Complementary angles - Opposite angles - Corresponding angles - Alternate angles - Co-interoir angles This was originally used in a grade 9 academic/applied math class (MPM1D/MFM1P) but would be applicable for other courses/grade levels where students must learn about angles.

In this activity, students pretend to be electrons moving through a circuit. The activity covers five different factors that affect resistance in a circuit: - Number of loads - Parallel vs series - Length of conductor - Thickness of conductor - Material Students have the opportunity to move around to experience how these factors affect the ease with which electrons can move through a circuit.
