Hole in Hand and Other Eye Related Tricks
To demonstrate how two eyes interact with each other, and how strange things can happen when we alter the conditions in which we see the world.
Magic of Density
Students will explore density by modifying the density of liquids, observing the density of different solids, and observing the density differences between objects that occupy the same volume by comparing varieties of pop. Mass over volume is the message!
Elasticity - Rubber Band Bungee Jump
The objective of this activity is to be able to drop the object, and have it get as close to the ground as possible without it actually touching, much like with actual bungee jumping.
Buzzing Bees - Exploring Pollination
This is a fun, interactive activity to help students understand the process of cross-pollination!
Nervous System - Neuron Highway
Students will send a ''message'', a piece of paper attached to an unmodified paper clip, along a string to demonstrate how the nervous system work.
The Dots
Students learn about how data in computers is stored and transmitted as a series of zeros and ones and complete an activity to represent words and numbers using just these two symbols.
Cell City
This activity explores the structures of plant and animal cells via a dramatic skit, a matching activity, and creating a 3D model.
Fantastic Forces
During this activity, the participants complete four different tasks to learn about five forces - gravity, friction, magnetism, static electricity and buoyancy.
Astrobiology Investigation
In this activity, students will test different "alien soil samples" for signs of life.
Food Web Jenga
Students will learn about food chains and trophic levels, and then gain an appreciation for the complexity and interconnectedness of ecosystems and how food chains are affected by environmental events using a game of Jenga with colour-coded blocks.
Nature Scavenger Hunt
Students will go on an outdoor scavenger hunt to find things related to nature and the environment.
Bridges, Strong and Stable Structures - Virtual Outreach
Students will get to learn about what a structure is and what materials can be used to build a strong and stable bridge.
Storytime - Microscope Fun
Read "Greg's Microscope" and learn about microscopes by building your own.
Viral Vaccines SARS-CoV-2
Students learn about pandemics, coronaviruses and vaccines and then design a vaccine using information on the SARS-CoV-2 virus structure.
Beautiful Bees
Students build a bee from foam balls and pipe cleaners to learn the anatomy of the bee, make a proboscis to "eat like a bee" and learn the bee waggle dance.
