How Many Stars Can You See at Night?
April 25 Students will study through investigation the effects of light pollution on night sky observation. They will share their results and suggest improvement within the community. View the activity here.
Let's Break the Particles
April 24 This is a hands-on activity to learn that energy can be transformed into various forms. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Moreover, this kinetic energy can be used (if more than the relative binding energy) to break atoms, particles and molecules to see “inside” and to study their constituents. View the activity here.
Blue Marble in Empty Space
April 23 Using photographs and models, students are taken on a virtual journey to outer space. They can look back at the Earth as they travel further away and see it growing increasingly smaller, giving the experience that we live on a tiny planet that floats in a vast and empty space.

Meet Our Home: Planet Earth
April 22 Converting a visual to a tactile experience, this activity lets visually impaired students learn about and explore some of the characteristics of our home planet, the Earth. View the activity here.
The Fibre Optic Cable Class
April 21 This activity is an interactive “out-of-the-seat” demo that allows the students to become involved in learning about fibre optic cables by imitating the way that one basically functions. While enjoying the physicality of the demo the students will pick up basic details of light, reflection, optical properties, and applications to technology. Additionally, the activity will go into details of how fibre optics are used in astronomy technology and how it is used to improve our understanding of the universe. An emphasis should be placed on asking direct questions to the students about how these concepts can influence technology,...
