All Subjects

Critical Thinking and Evaluating Information

The Critical Thinking and Evaluating Information lessons on Kids Boost Immunity are aligned with multiple subjects within the Manitoba curriculum. These lessons provide examples of how misinformation can sway opinion, often by creating a sense of fear. A checklist evaluation method enables student to assess the trustworthiness of information sources. Other evaluation strategies include learning how to recognize personal bias and using a scientific approach to test ideas. For older grades there are lessons in designing experiments, creating a working hypotheses, exploring biases, and understanding correlation versus causation.

Global Issues: Citizenship and Sustainability

Health and Biotechnology

Exploring the Issues
- Science, technology, and human health
- Economic implications of health care
- Controversial genetic research (embryonic and stem cell research, animal testing, patenting DNA,
- genetic intervention and modification, preservation of genetic material, genetic information
- privacy)
- Epidemic and pandemic prevention and response
- Disease control (AIDS, virus control, immunization)
- Food and drug management and testing
- Alternative health practices, safety, control and marketing, etc
Essential Questions
- How can we be sure that biotechnology practices are safe?

Media

Essential Questions
- How does media influence, affect, and control us?
- How does media literacy help us to become critical thinkers and responsible citizens?

Peace and Conflict

Essential Questions
- What are the current conflicts in your school? ...community? ...country? ...other countries? What are some ways these could be resolved/transformed?
- It is estimated that 22 of the 34 countries furthest away from achieving the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals are affected by current or recent conflicts (United Nations Development Programme). Of the 20 poorest countries, 16 have recently experienced civil war, resulting in severe hunger and poverty. Why do you think this is? How does development relate to conflict? How does this help us understand current conflicts? What might this suggest about peace?

Poverty, Wealth, and Power

Exploring the Issues
- Concentration of wealth
- Widening gap between rich and poor
- Economic disparities within and between countries
- Multinational and transnational corporations
Essential Questions
- What measurable inequalities remain in Canada? Are these avoidable?
- Are there structural conditions that limit access to resources or limit capabilities?
- How does the social safety net (e.g., health care) protect Canadians from the worst impacts of structural inequities?
- How has modern technology increased education and wealth gaps? How has it narrowed them? How has life changed in Canada over the last century?
- Why is life expectancy generally higher in “wealthier” countries?
- How are we connected to other places on the planet?
- How can globalization improve people’s well-being? How might it affect people negatively? Why is there this backlash against globalization, which is supposed to generate peace and prosperity?

Social Justice and Human Rights

Suggested Issues
- economic disparities, poverty, quality of life
- access to food, water, health care, education, employment
- NGOs and international collaboration, role of governments in international aid (e.g. CIDA, disaster relief, the economics of aid)
