Healthy Soils

In this activity, participants will explore different types of soil. They will learn how human activity and climate change can affect the quality of soil. Note: the activities can be quite messy and are best done outside.

Physics

Nuclear Energy Roleplay

Participants learn about nuclear energy by role-playing the pathway in a CANDU (Canadian Deuterium-Uranium) nuclear reactor.

Chemistry

Feedstock Fermentation

Participants conduct an experiment on fermentation to learn how biofuels are created!

Engineering

Water Wheel

Participants will learn about how the movement of water can be used to create electricity!

Physics

Water Dam

This demonstration shows how water pressure can be used to generate hydroelectricity.

Health Sciences

Solar Bead Bracelets

Participants will learn about how we can harness the power of the Sun to generate electricity. They will create a fun craft to help remember sun safety!

Engineering

Wind-Powered Elevator Challenge

Participants build a working model of a windmill that lifts a load, like an elevator! They will discover how the wind is used to create green, sustainable energy.

Physics

Pinwheels

Participants create a pinwheel using simple materials and discover why wind energy is good for the environment.
