Sailing Kit
This is a comprehensive lesson plan on sailing - the history of sailing, parts of a sailboat, the physics of floating, wind, physics of sails, keeling and modern sails. The kit also includes an activity where students make a sailboat and hold a regatta.
Insect Predation Game
Students learn about interspecific competition and population and ecosystem dynamics through a fun and dynamic game. They are introduced to adaptations, prey and predator relationships, food chains and evolution.
Alka-Seltzer Rockets
In this activity, we will learn all about gases, pressure and the states of matter by making alka-seltzer rockets!
Carbon Dioxide Candle - Demonstration
Put out a candle using carbon dioxide created by mixing vinegar and baking soda and learn about the states of matter and invisible gases!
Eggs-periment!
This activity will show us what vinegar does to calcium carbonate, a molecule that makes up sea shells, corals, and parts of your bones!
Create your own magnetic kite!
This activity will teach us about magnets and how they can overcome gravity by creating a magnetic kite!
Create Your Own Lava Lamp!
Learn about the density of liquids and the production of gases in this cool activity!
Feet for Fun
Measuring distances today is done using fixed units (cm, m, ft, inches), but this was not always the case! This activity explores how a person's foot can be used as a measuring tool, and the benefits of standardizing units.
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
To pictorially demonstrate the relationship between the sine and cosine graphs and the unit circle. This will give the students a better idea of what the graphs should look like rather than having them memorize it.
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!
