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.
Nuclear Energy Roleplay
Participants learn about nuclear energy by role-playing the pathway in a CANDU (Canadian Deuterium-Uranium) nuclear reactor.
Feedstock Fermentation
Participants conduct an experiment on fermentation to learn how biofuels are created!
Water Wheel
Participants will learn about how the movement of water can be used to create electricity!
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.
Pinwheels
Participants create a pinwheel using simple materials and discover why wind energy is good for the environment.
STEM Storytime - Collect, Create, Compost!
In this activity, participants will learn how composting works and why it can help in the fight against climate change. They will create their own compost using household waste and materials.
STEM Storytime - The Chain Reaction
Participants will create their own chain reaction using everyday items and learn how energy is created in a nuclear power plant.
Microplastics Challenge
Participants will learn about synthetic fibers, participate in a microplastics challenge and explore ways to reduce microplastic pollution.
STEM Rocks!
