Liquid Rainbows and Non-Newtonian Fluids
In this session, we will explore the amazing properties of fluids. We will stack colourful liquids in a jar to make a rainbow. Then, mix a gooey batch of oobleck to learn more about non-Newtonian fluids and why viscosity matters to research and development chemists when designing a new lotion or shampoo.
Start Your Engines: Motive Power
Learn about opportunities in trades and develop your mechanical skills with a fun hands-on activity. We’ll be building our own rubber band powered model car!
Foldable Flyers: Making the Ultimate Paper Airplane
In this hands-on, high-flying session, earn your wings with an aerospace engineer and pilot who will teach you how to use the four principles of aerodynamics to create a paper airplane that soars.
Follow your Heart
In this session, you will discover different ways to take your pulse, and do a personal experiment to learn your own resting and recommended maximum heart rates.
Bubble-ology
In this session, we’re going to make lots of bubbles –big and small — and look at them with a scientist’s perspective.
Coding in Python with ImagiLabs
We will use the imagiLabs Learning Hub to create cool animations on a charm emulator! Let’s get coding!
Impact Craters
In this session, we’ll hear from an expert on craters, learn exactly how they’re formed, and create some model space collisions at home.
Mind-Boggling Paper Folding
In this session, we’ll construct our own hexaflexagons, learn how mathematicians use something called graph theory to map the paths between sides, and find some surprising connections to computer networks.
Physics Magic. DO Try this at Home!
We will discuss the law of inertia, Bernoulli’s principle, light refraction, and more. It’s not magic — it’s physics!
Your Amazing Skeleton
In this session, we will build our our model hands with bones and ligaments, learn more about the surprising composition of bones, and learn how biomedical engineers design solutions for patients who have injured a bone.
