Off-site Learning

A Peek into Chemistry 12

Learning about the creation of the pH scale and how it is impacting the Great Barrier Reef

As tests are not a part of the off-site learning at RCS, teachers have incorporated different ways for students to demonstrate understanding of concepts. As part of the Acid-base Unit in Chemistry 12, Mrs. Truell had her students demonstrate knowledge through a letter writing process. Students wrote a letter from the perspective of someone working in the field to authentically demonstrate the application of knowledge. Students were able to develop their core competencies through this creative process. Check out Soren Peder Lauritz Sorensen Modern pH Scale, as well as how acidification of the oceans is breaking down the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

A Peek into Social Justice 12

For the past few months, students of Social Justice 12 have been studying human rights issues and the effects of power and privilege on marginalized communities. Even though we are no longer in a physical classroom it does not mean that meaningful learning can't still happen! The students took this opportunity to delve deeper into social justice movements and met virtually to put together presentations that shed light to issues that they found important. Learn about the History of the American Civil Rights Movement and the Idle No More Movement.

Weekly Schedule: May 25-29
