An Art rt Book – Rediscovering Native Pla lants of f the Pacif ific North West

Students in grades 11 and 12 art classes and biology 11 classes at Burnaby Central participated in this cross curricular, interdisciplinary collaborative project. The project was designed in collaboration with local artist and illustrator Julia Kreutz, local Métis curator Tarah Hogue, and local First Nations artist and native plant expert, Cease Wyss.

Students Add Drama to Seniors' ' Memories -Dania Home Project Burnaby Central Secondary ry School Carol Mann

Drama 10/11/12

slide-28
SLIDE 28

Once the students collected the seniors' memories, they brought them back to their Grade 10/11/12 drama class and shared them with classmates who helped incorporate them into a short seven-minute

  • performance. The high school

students then returned to Dania Home to perform the show for the residents they'd met earlier.

Dania Home Project Quotes:

""They're smarter than heck," she said with a laugh. "It was nice to laugh with them because laughter is a great thing." – Rosalie Thompson, 83. "If I could compare the residents I would compare them to an entire library because they have just volumes and volumes of information The things we learned in social studies-the Second World War, the tension during the Cold War, the moon landing, the assassination of the American president-they've actually been through that.” – Olivia Tsai, 17.

Math Learning Teams in Burnaby

  • Facilitated by Dr. Peter Liljedahl (SFU)
  • Approximately 135 teachers involved
  • 27 elementary & all secondary schools
  • Learning teams meet 3 to 4 times

during the year

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Mathematics: ‘Thinking Classrooms’

(Dr. . Peter Lil ilje jedahl l – SF SFU) Learning Environment

  • Developing a ‘thinking’ and growth mindset
  • Enjoying mathematics and developing confidence in

problem-solving

Three Pillars to a “Thinking Classroom”

tasks vertical surfaces random groups

slide-35
SLIDE 35

Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces

slide-36
SLIDE 36

Benefits of Non-Permanent Vertical Surfaces

Significant improvement for:

  • time on task
  • amount of discussion
  • eagerness to start
  • participation
  • persistence
  • knowledge mobility
  • creativity of work
slide-37
SLIDE 37

Benefits of Visibly Random Groups

  • students become agreeable to work in any group
  • elimination of social barriers within the classroom
  • mobility of knowledge between students increases
slide-38
SLIDE 38

Some Teacher Comments

  • I will never go back to just having students work in their desks
  • My students are craving to work on problems
  • Now I'm doing a session for the whole staff
  • The kids love it - especially the windows
  • I've never seen my students work like that
  • They want more
slide-39

Design course

  • STEAM – Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics
  • ‘Thinking through making’
  • Typical cycle: research, sketch, model/prototype, test, repeat
  • Involves a lot of ‘low tech’ and some ‘high tech’ (ex. 3D printer)
slide-40
SLIDE 40

Examples to Follow

  • Bridge Design – trusses (straws), connectors(3D printer)
  • Chair Design – for a small, shared living space (Sears DX Competition)
  • Design for displaying various media

Educational videos created within Burnaby

  • Lesson support - videos by teachers (flipped classroom)
  • Math 12 Example
  • Demonstration of learning – videos by students
  • Biology 11 Example

Science: ‘Learning Stories’ – Grade 4/5

  • Documentation of classroom journey
  • Thinking like a scientist

(wonder, research, hypothesize, experiment, analyze, conclude)

slide-55
SLIDE 55

WONDERS

Why do things float?

Everyone formed a hypothesis before we started, since we could not be scientists until we had made our educated guess at what we thought would happen, but it was emphasized that the biggest breakthroughs in science often happen when scientists hypothesises are wrong and they figure out why

slide-56
SLIDE 56

Egg in Salt Water and Egg in Fresh Water

  • salt water pushes egg up (later used scientific word buoyancy)
  • salt water heavier than water (related to density later)
  • water has nothing in it, salt water has salt pushing it

Student Collective Conclusions

Plasticine Ball versus Plasticine Cup/Boat

  • cup pushes water out of way so boat goes up

(later found scientific word displacement)

slide-57
SLIDE 57

Paper Clip on Water

  • layer on top holds the paper clip up

(later found surface tension in a resource)

  • when on edge sank, when laid gently

flat with fork floated (distributed the weight)

  • like a water bug

(scientists often think about where else in the world they have seen similar things to help them figure out how things work)

slide-58
SLIDE 58

Oil vs Water vs Syrup

  • oil lighter than water, syrup is heavier than water
  • things that are lighter float (later found that density = mass / volume)
  • when trust in students, they collectively give more than you expect
  • giving students ownership of their learning has powerful results

(engagement and enduring learning)

Statistics 12: : In Inquiry Project

Challenge:

  • Students chose a country, and researched the relationship between

the wealth of the country and the amount of water used per capita

  • Share their learning through a Prezi presentation

Example: Why does Mongolia have a low GDP but a high water consumption level per capita? Final Activity: Students shared their prezis and findings with their classmates

Social Studies 10: : Problem Based Learning

Challenge:

  • Explore environment sustainability as it pertains to current resource

management topics and problems facing Canada

  • Create a documentary film that explores the pros and cons of their topic

and considers the various stakeholders Example: One student group’s documentary of the Site C Dam Final Activity: Documentary student-film festival
