Buzzing Bees - Exploring Pollination

This is a fun, interactive activity to help students understand the process of cross-pollination!

Physics Volunteer Activities

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.

Biology Volunteer Activities

All That Fat

In this activity, we will learn about how natural adaptations, like fat, can help animals survive in polar regions.

Physics

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!

Biology Volunteer Activities

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.

Mathematics Volunteer Activities

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.

Biology Volunteer Activities

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.

Mathematics Volunteer Activities

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.

Chemistry Volunteer Activities

Create Your Own Lava Lamp!

Learn about the density of liquids and the production of gases in this cool activity!
