Let's Talk Science Challenge
Events
November 1, 2023 - June 1, 2024
Student, Grades: 6-8
Are your students up for the Let's Talk Science Challenge? Put their STEM knowledge to the test by taking part in theory, hands-on, and team activities in this national STEM competition.
Spider Webs
This is a great hands-on activity for large-scale community events or even in class visits. Students build spider webs out of toothpicks, thin, flexible wires, and beads. This can act as a supplement to other bug-related activities or even to discussing elements of mathematics in nature.
Mr. Bear Lessons: What is Science?
This activity will introduce younger audiences to what science is.
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.
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.
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!
All That Fat
In this activity, we will learn about how natural adaptations, like fat, can help animals survive in polar regions.
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!
How Many Students?
Students explore statistics by collecting data of their classmates names and seeing whether or not female or male names are longer.
