1.Choose a title which helps to easily identify the subject or the object of the activity. The title may be informative, original or descriptive.

2.Write down the last year when you tried out the activity in classroom.

6.Choose the activity scientific discipline (e.g. biology, mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc.).

7.Write down the students' average age (e.g. 17-18 years, 18-19 years, etc.).

9.Specifiy the approximate duration of the activity. If it takes place over several weeks at irregular intervals or has a variable duration from meeting to meeting, specify the total time and refer, between brackets, to an appendix you will add to the form; this appendix will explain in detail how the activity takes place.

10. The abstract of the activity must not exceed 150 words.

12.Describe what students will have acquired after the activity (subject matter, abilities, attitudes, etc.).

13. a) Write down the main program objectives being targetted. If the activity takes place in a "Natural Science" course, choose amongst the following objectives:

Apply the experimental method;
Take a systematic approach to problem solving;
Use appropriate data-processing technologies;
Reason logically;
Communicate effectively;
Learn autonomously;
Work as a member of a team;
Make connections between science, technology and social progress.
Identify their personal system of values;
Become familiar with the context in which scientific concepts are discovered and developed;
Adopt attitudes that are useful for scientific work;
Apply what has been learned to new situations.

For more information regarding the objectives of the program Science de la nature 200.B0, please consult the following site from the ministry of Education :

13. b) Describe how the activity fits in the course. If the activity is a description of a pedagogical approach that lasts for the whole course, explain the relevance of this approach in relation to the course content, how it is introduced in the course and how it is used.

14. Write down the approximate number of students in the class (e.g. 11-15, 16-20, 21-25, 25-30, 31-35, 36-40, etc.).

15. Write down the size of the team (e.g. 2, 3, 4, etc. or 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, etc.).

Describe the teacher’s role and the pedagogical supervision during the activity.

Describe how the activity unfolds step by step. Indicate how long each task will take. Divide this section into “Before”, “During” and “After” phases : “Before” should list preparatory steps taken by both the teacher and students, “During” should show details on how the activity unfolds, and “After” should include any follow-up.

Suggest the point values allocated for the activity. Describe how the activity should be evaluated and the criterias for evaluation (you could include an evaluation grid in the Appendix, if you like).

Summarize the background documents required for understanding or implementing the activity as well as any that you distribute to the students. Our numbering convention has documents intended for teachers in the “P” (“professeur”) Appendix, those intended for students in the “E” (“élèves”) Appendix. Thus teacher documents should be numbered P.1, P.2, ...P.X and student documents E.1, E.2…E.X. Each number should be followed by an appropriate descriptive title (e.g.: Appendix E.1: Efficient Teamwork.).

Suggest alternatives or extensions to your activity. For example, how might it be presented under different conditions? What other activities could be tied to it? Etc.

22.List all references used in the production of the activity. Use the following format for these references:
