8th Fire is a four-part documentary series about contemporary Aboriginal peoples in Canada, social and economic issues facing them, and possibilities for moving forward in a world that is rapidly changing. This Guide for Educator contains several components. For each of the four episodes, there are content overviews and social considerations, along with main elements on which to focus discussion. In addition, for each episode, there are Critical Thinking Challenges, Viewing Questions, Instructional Activities and Possibilities for Involving the Community.

This site could be used at grade levels K-8 and offers PDFs detailing lists of hands-on Science and STEM activity ideas. Most activities only require household materials or exploring outside. Science explanations are not included but this provides an excellent opportunity for inquiry and journaling. The PDFs could be downloaded, printed, written out by hand or simply glanced at for ideas. Students should be encouraged to keep a journal for their inquiry-based science activities.
