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.
Animal Adaptations
Students have the opportunity explore different ways that animals insulate themselves to stay warm in winter by testing different insulating materials in ice cold water (e.g., fur, cotton balls, foil, thermal sock, etc.).
Let's Build a Telescope!
Learners will build their very own telescope and experience what it's like to look at different objects through a telescope lens.
Constellation Detective
Students are given an unlabeled picture of a night sky and asked to find the constellations in it.
Constellation Viewers
Students will learn about stars and create a "constellation viewer" where they can create a constellation to look at.
Make a Crater!
Learners will build their very own crater and test different sized balls from various heights to see how their crater size may differ.
Astrobiology Investigation
In this activity, students will test different "alien soil samples" for signs of life.
Fantastic Forces
During this activity, the participants complete four different tasks to learn about five forces - gravity, friction, magnetism, static electricity and buoyancy.
Cell City
This activity explores the structures of plant and animal cells via a dramatic skit, a matching activity, and creating a 3D model.
