Grade 3 - Grade 6This activity will use images from the story book “Trip to the Moon” written by Vera Evic, an author from Pangnirtung, Nunavut. Students will animate the images and create a scene from the book where kids use an oil drum rocket to travel to the moon.
Primary - MiddleIn this resource, we present three culturally relevant lessons tailored to Nunavut culture and way of life, designed to introduce students to the foundational concepts of Scratch programming.
Primary - SecondaryIn this simulation- you’ll operate as the sole controller of a virtual rover- stationed at Mission Control. From steering the rover to analyzing data- you’ll gain insight into the mission’s requirements.
Grade 4 - Grade 6Students explore aspects of AI and develop their own simple AI programs. Then, they connect their newfound knowledge to real-world examples.
Grade 4 - Grade 6Students learn about natural language processing (NLP) and how it works. They also learn to apply the rules of NLP to a text, how computers identify tag words, and how voice-generated technology impacts many aspects of daily life.
Grade 1 - Grade 3The premise of this experiment is that wind around us can be harnessed, and used for many purposes. It’s a first step to understanding the concepts of renewable energy as well as the historical uses of wind power, and is a starting point to help learners grasp the potential of renewable energy sources.
Primary - MiddleThis activity asks readers to embark on an adventure and meet four different animals along the way. The reader must locate and write down a noun, verb, and adjective for each animal they see as part of their journey’s research.
Primary - Grade 3In this lesson, students learn coding basics by building a rudimentary understanding of command codes, sequences, and loops.
Grade 4 - Grade 6In this lesson, students respond to writing prompts that require them to think about other/diverse perspectives via RAFT-style storytelling:
Primary - MiddleIn the fourth and final episode of the Mission Ocean series, we discover what Environmental DNA (eDNA) is, and how it’s being currently utilized for ocean conservation efforts.
Primary - MiddleIn episode 3, learn about a not-so-popular kind of ocean pollutant – Noise. You’ll see how it’s caused, and what surprising thing happens when the noise switches off.
Primary - MiddleIn this episode, you’ll discover the concept and threat of overfishing: Why it’s a threat, how it’s done, and what modern solutions are helping to combat this ocean danger.
Primary - SecondaryIn this episode of the Root & STEM podcast, Pinnguaq’s digital skills educator, Sherisse Richards, shares how Scratch–a programming language–can help educators teach students about coding, storytelling, and animation.
Primary - MiddleLearn about the pioneers of science and the characteristics that allowed them to thrive! Wilhelm Röntgen: Curiosity This episode takes a look at Wilhelm Röntgen and how curiosity helped him in his discovery of the X-ray machine, and how we can be curious about the world just like him. Marie Curie: Confidence This episode takes […]
Primary - MiddleLet’s think like a scientist and find the answers to the questions that make us wonder! The Science Behind podcast series explores the ways in which science is connected to humans and the world around us in an interactive format that follows the scientific method. (The scientific method is the process of testing and experimenting […]
Primary - MiddleAn activity that asks readers to read an ocean and marine life infographic and look closely at the pictures to then see if they can correctly identify and name the animals and devices.
Primary - SecondaryA young turtle and his Grampa take readers on a sea adventure to learn how ocean plastic is hurting sea animals, but also showcases how humans are trying to reduce plastic use and clean up the ocean in various ways.
Grade 3 - Grade 6In this lesson, students will learn about nattiit (ringed seals) from both biology and an Inuit perspective.
Grade 3 - Grade 6In this lesson, students will expand on their learning from lesson one (Introduction to Nattiit, Ringed Seal) and build their understanding for how the nattiit are being impacted by climate change and human activity.
Grade 3 - Grade 6Part 5 explores the design of the wings of the blue morpho butterfly and how light reflection alters their appearance to the eye of the viewer.
Grade 3 - Grade 6Part 4 explores the design of shark skin and how it helps the shark function as efficiently as a swimmer and a predator and how the design can help our world become safer and stronger.
Primary - SecondaryPart 9 explores the different aspects of astronomy, with a focus on celestial bodies in space —like stars, planets, and the sun.
Primary - SecondaryPart 7 explores how the Moon’s gravitational pull impacts Earth and causes the tides to reach high and low points.
