Learners are presented with six solved mathematical problems and must work to debug these problems to determine which are solved correctly and which are not.

The goal of this activity is for students to program a mouse to get from the starting position to the cheese wedges without going on squares occupied by cats or mouse traps.

Students use computational thinking skills and global competencies to create a series of instructions describing how to draw a graph paper design.

Make a sustainable ecosystem for your organism(s) in a sealed environment - with no access to oxygen or external factors such as rain, air and pollution.

Learners develop decomposition, pattern recognition and algorithmic thinking by using their knowledge of simple geometric figures to code shapes in Scratch.

Learners develop pattern recognition skills and learn about repetition and events by using Scratch to code a dance.

How can we make sure that we will always have fish in our rivers, lakes, streams and ponds? In this game, participants learn about some of the factors that affect their local fish populations and solutions to help stabilize the populations.

Students learn about animals in water, human impacts, and are given materials to attempt to clean up a cooking oil spill.

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.

Students mine for chocolate chips in cookies, attempting to get as many chocolate chips as possible without damaging the cookie.

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.
