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.

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.

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 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.

Students learn how greenhouse gases contribute to ocean acidification.

In this workshop, students learn about motion and how mechanisms are used to transform and transmit motion. Students will then use their creativity and imagination to design and build their own cardboard Automaton!

Explore through a hands-on activity how using technology and robotics can help tackle current environmental issues.

Students learn about how climate change can impact the geographical range of disease vectors.

In this activity, students will use blood spatter and physics principles to solve a crime.
