Michael Ng shares several short activities that can provide students with a mental reset while incorporating fun and interactive learning. Emphasis will look at the pedagogical research studies behind Brain Break activities and how it can be a valuable tool for high school chemistry educators to help enhance focus; encourage engagement; improve retention; promote community building; and reduce stress. TQS #1-4 AND LQS #1-6.

Alberta Education has indicated that the Vretta online assessment platform will fundamentally change how selected response questions are structured for students in the near future. In the context of Social Studies, multiple choice has been the sole method that selected response questions have been formatted for decades.
This presentation seeks to introduce Numerical Response style questions into the Humanities with an emphasis on Social Studies 30-1. A wide variety of questions will be provided to participants to help conceptualize the various formatting structures that Alberta Education might pursue as it rolls out its new assessment platform.
Vretta's new selected response question format strongly correlates to older Numerical Response formats, as seen in the Science PATs and DIPs. As such, our question formats will be strongly influenced by the formatting structure used in the Sciences.
This will be a workshop-style presentation in which participants will be given an extensive sampling of questions to engage in discussion with each other and the presenters.
Michael Ng reflects on the wonderful resources provided from Chem13 News of how to incorporate Indigenous knowledge about the Northern lands, peoples and ways of life through the scientific lens of the Inuit. By connecting it back to TQS #4 & 5 and LQS #5, a collective study will explore the Three Sisters Garden of the Iroquois; soy sauce; PFOs; chert and the Ulu; Inuit medicinal remedies; the Northern Lights; acid-base plant chemistry; and elements of the Periodic Table. Reflections will look at where it can be incorporated into the Alberta curriculum for Science 10 and Chemistry 20 / 30.
