Filtering water after washing clothes can help prevent harmful plastic microfibers from polluted oceans and shorelines.

Learn about the importance of constellations and moon phases and how adaptations play a role in our survival on Earth.

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.

In this workshop, students examine current and potential energy sources used for transportation, learn about fuel cell cars, explore the various types of fuels used in transportation and design their own vehicle.

In this workshop, students will explore what makes up a healthy forest, and how tree and soil health is important for sustaining ecosystems. Students will consider how human actions affect forests, and how forests are important in combatting climate change. Discussions will focus on positive actionable steps students can take to protect plant and soil health in their communities.

Extreme weather occurs in many wild ways, which is affected by climate change! This workshop explores these implications.

Students design and build a structure that protects toy people from a hurricane.

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.

Learn about the human circulatory system and make your own scab!

Students design a water filter to separate a mixture.

Students are introduced to form and function of structures and then build a bridge given certain limitations.

Students will get to learn about what a structure is and what materials can be used to build a strong and stable bridge.

Students build a beaver dam and lodge to understand what stable structures are and then they test their structure by placing a load on it - something heavy like a brick - and see if the force will make the structure collapse.

Students use paper and build different shaped columns, test them for strength, and are then challenged to make 4 columns using only paper that will hold the most weight.

A hands-on activity set focused on elements and compounds and their use in everyday life.
