Grades 4-6

Soil is an essential source of life and nutrients for many living things!

In this food web activity designed for grades 4-6, participants utilize images of different animals to determine their relationships within an ecosystem, identify predator-prey connections and construct a comprehensive food web.

Get excited to view the total solar eclipse!

Is it a meteorite? Learn about types of meteorites and how you can identify them!

Participants learn how to identify animals that may live in their environment using “signs”. Then, they will learn how photogrammetry can be used to scan and make digital models out of animal tracks found in nature so that they can be 3D printed.

Learners create a Micro:bit step counter using Make Code.

Learners enhance their understanding of encryption and decryption to protect personal information and develop critical thinking skills by using different encryption tools to create and send coded messages.

Learners develop computational thinking skills and global competencies as they collaboratively work together to design and build a structure that will protect the last Truffula seed (from the story ‘The Lorax’).

Learners explore some foundational computer programming concepts and develop computational thinks skills by participating in three weeks of hands-on coding activities, via Scratch, for one-hour sessions, where each session builds off the previous session.

Learners build off the skills they developed in the (Scratch) Coding Club, developed by McGill University, and further expand some foundational computer programming concepts and further develop computational thinking skills.

Welcome to the science behind computer communication! Learners will explore the basics of binary, learn how to count in binary and how binary is used to encode different kinds of information in computers, through a variety of activities.

Students will learn some foundational programming concepts and develop computational thinking skills through several screen-free activities.

Learners develop decomposition skills and learn about sequences and repetition by using Scratch to code a drumming sequence.

Learners will practice and further develop their human emotion and facial recognition skills, similar to how AI programs learn.
