H2 OH NO!
This workshop explores the effect of acidification on marine and freshwater systems.
High Flyers
Students explore various aspects of flight and apply their knowledge by designing and testing paper planes.
Mix It Up
Students explore why some things dissolve but not others by learning about particle interactions.
Fight or Flight? The Science of Stress - Virtual
Students will explore what happens in their nervous system, endocrine system and circulatory system when their brain detects stressful situations.
Burglar Alarm
How can we use basic knowledge of how circuits work to construct a simple appliance? This burglar alarm is easy to understand based on knowledge of circuits and switches.
Morse Code Telegraph
The principles of electricity and magnetism can be used to communicate - for example by using an electromagnet to make a Morse code transmitter.
Straw Structure Activity
This activity demonstrates the importance of engineering and allows students to practice teamwork!
How well does your Boat Float?
Buoyancy is the upward force that the water is exerting on the object that is floating. It is what is keeping the object from sinking! In this activity, we will learn about buoyancy through creating our own boats.
5 Senses
The students will identify and recognize their 5 senses when completing these activities. This activity goes well with the "Feast for the Senses" lending library kit.
Insect Predation Game
Students learn about interspecific competition and population and ecosystem dynamics through a fun and dynamic game. They are introduced to adaptations, prey and predator relationships, food chains and evolution.
Create your own bones!
In this activity, we will use everyday materials to make our own bones!
Feet for Fun
Measuring distances today is done using fixed units (cm, m, ft, inches), but this was not always the case! This activity explores how a person's foot can be used as a measuring tool, and the benefits of standardizing units.
Green Thumb - Changing the Colour of Plants!
What is your favorite colour? How do plants and flowers have so many different colours? What if you could change their colour? In this activity, you will explore the properties and structure of plants and how to change their color.
Exploring the Sine and Cosine Curve
To pictorially demonstrate the relationship between the sine and cosine graphs and the unit circle. This will give the students a better idea of what the graphs should look like rather than having them memorize it.
