Summer Science
Summer with the Science Centre
Summer might be over, but the science never stops! Take advantage of our learning resources throughout the school year and beyond. Organized by theme, you’ll find experiments, activities and games that can be adapted for all ages, abilities and interests. So, go ahead! Conduct an experiment. Contribute to citizen science. Repurpose single-use materials. Solve a crossword puzzle. Play a round of trivia. It’s easy to make science part of your everyday life!
Air is all around us, but we can’t see it. So, how do we know it’s there? This week, you’ll discover the air around you through aerodynamics, astronomy and art.
The Air Up There
It’s time to get your hands dirty with activities that look at the food we grow, the trees that shade us and the creatures that share the world around us.
Our Green Planet
Feel the heat! Learn the language of volcanoes, find fireballs in the sky and cook a treat with the Sun—high summer is the perfect time to experiment.
The Heat is On
It's time for a breath of fresh air with activities for inside, outside and even outer space. Explore weather, clouds, meteors and more as we look to the sky and beyond.
Air and Space
We’re headed to the ocean this week. Catch up on laundry while learning how to combat microplastic pollution, create a design that floats your boat and get hooked on crochet—it’s time for seaside science.
Seaside Science
From blazing barbecues to powerful peppers, add sizzle to your science this week with activities that turn up the heat.
Sizzling Science
Butterflies, outdoor adventures and an animal identification game make for a perfect close to a science-filled summer vacation.
