Our team, in collaboration with staff from the McGill Office of Science Outreach, has developed teaching resources for school teachers. These resources are designed to use inquiry-based learning strategies to engage students. They are free, available in English and French, and their content aligns with the Quebec Education Program (QEP). Feel free to download and use these resources and provide feedback on your experience with them.
