No/Low materials

What happens to the things we put in the garbage? In this activity, participants will learn how long it takes common everyday materials to degrade in a landfill and ways they can reduce the amount of waste they produce.

This is a fun, interactive activity to help participants understand the process of cross-pollination! This activity includes optional extensions that explore the impact of climate change on bees.

This is a fun, simple activity to help students understand how plants grow in a greenhouse.

An experiment that demonstrates the greenhouse effect. Includes a presentation on the carbon cycle and student debate topics related to climate change.

Learn about Canadian animals and the sounds they make.

Students will conduct a simulation to demonstrate control of several variables in the ecosystem, where different scenarios will be used to demonstrate the positive and negative effects humans have on local ecosystems.

Students will learn about the habitat and lifecycle of Pacific salmon, the effects of climate change on salmon populations and the importance of sustainable fishing practices.

Youth explore the water cycle by creating their own rain clouds. In the optional extensions, youth will learn how climate change affects the water cycle and discuss ways to lower their impact on the environment.

This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "Polar Bear, Why is Your World Melting?" by Robert E. Wells followed by a hands-on activity. Using some very ordinary items at home, we're going to learn about the greenhouse effect.

This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "The Last Tree" by Maria Quintana Silva and Silvia Alvarez followed by the hands-on activity. Using some very ordinary items at home, we're going to learn how plants are important in the fight against climate change as they help absorb pollution from the environment to keep it safe and clean.

This workshop consists of two parts: a reading of the "When the Earth Shook" by Lisa Lucas followed by a hands-on activity called Trouble-to-Toys. Using some very ordinary items at home, we're going to learn about how they can create a toy out of recycled items.

What is science? In this activity, youth learn about the different ways of studying the world around us. They will use the scientific method to design and test an alka seltzer rocket.

Nitrogen cycles through our ecosystems. It is an essential nutrient for many living things and plays a key role in the environment. However, too much nitrogen can be harmful.

Many environmental factors can impact plant growth, and as a farmer, you will have to look for genetic modifications that can help you grow the best crop this year!

Students will analyze historical, long-term trends in climate and explore environmental process through hands-on activities to gain an understanding of weather and climate in Northern Canada and relate to their own experiences with local weather patterns to discuss the changing climate in the north.
