Green Thumb - Changing the Colour of Plants!
What is your favorite colour? How do plants and flowers have so many different colours? What if you could change their colour? In this activity, you will explore the properties and structure of plants and how to change their color.
Exploring the Sine and Cosine Curve

Hole in Hand and Other Eye Related Tricks
To demonstrate how two eyes interact with each other, and how strange things can happen when we alter the conditions in which we see the world.
Magic of Density
Students will explore density by modifying the density of liquids, observing the density of different solids, and observing the density differences between objects that occupy the same volume by comparing varieties of pop. Mass over volume is the message!
All That Fat
In this activity, we will learn about how natural adaptations, like fat, can help animals survive in polar regions.
Elasticity - Rubber Band Bungee Jump
The objective of this activity is to be able to drop the object, and have it get as close to the ground as possible without it actually touching, much like with actual bungee jumping.
Buzzing Bees - Exploring Pollination
This is a fun, interactive activity to help students understand the process of cross-pollination!

Penny Drops
Students will explore surface tension and how water molecules stick together to form a drop of water by dropping water onto a penny or any other small coin.
Circulation
In this activity, participants will explore the functioning of their circulatory system and how different activity levels impact it!
What is your weight on another planet?
Perform a simple calculation to see how gravity affects your weight.
Daily and Seasonal Changes
Students learn about daily and seasonal changes through group discussion, songs, drawing and interactive demonstrations.
The Dots
Students learn about how data in computers is stored and transmitted as a series of zeros and ones and complete an activity to represent words and numbers using just these two symbols.
