Description

STEM ODYSSEY:

In this introductory STEM program, kids explore a variety of introductory topics and learn about the wonders of both the life and physical sciences. They explore themes and answer questions like “What makes your hair stand up?”, “Is it a magnet or magic?”, and “Just what are carbs, anyway?”. Formally known as Extraordinary Laboratory.

Weekly Topics: Harnessing Heat, Mission Nutrition, Lights..Colour..Action! Magnetic Magic, Optical Illusions, Sonic Sounds, Watts Up, Smelly Science

Additional Information

SP: SO - Harnessing Heat
Children will explore the science of heat & heat transfer! They will investigate molecular motion, insulators/conductors & frictional heat. Things really heat up with the use of temperature-sensitive equipment & a tactile temperature test!
SP: SO - Lights, Color, Action
Children will investigate optics through the science of light & colour! With a hands-on chromatography investigation, prisms & experiments with filters & UV light, children will explore our vision and the electromagnetic spectrum!
SP: SO - Magnetic Magic
Reveal the science behind the mysteries of magnetism! Children examine magnets & learn about the forces of attraction & repulsion. From exciting electromagnets to magnetic levitation, to the poles of planet Earth, magnetic magic is all around us!
SP: SO - Mission Nutrition
Children will focus on nutrition & fitness, including the essential components of a healthy diet & lifestyle. Through hands-on experiments, children will learn about nutrition labels, how bile helps us digest & how food fuels our bodies!
SP: SO - Optical Illusions
Children will learn how our eyes can trick our brains through the physics & psychology of optical illusions! They will manipulate flexible mirrors, explore the optics of classic mirror illusions, & experiment to create illusions of their own.
SP: SO - Smelly Science
The science of scents is in the air! Children will learn about our sense of smell & put their noses to the test as they experiment with the chemistry of aromas. From human nasal to animal adaptations, enticing aromas to stinky stenches, the nose knows!
SP: SO - Sonic Sounds
By exploring the science of sound, children will learn how our ears perceive sound waves. They will experiment with how sound travels, interact with sound-sensitive lights, and re-engineer their voices with voice-distorting technology!
SP: SO - Watts-Up
Children discover the world of static electricity. They explore electroscopes, & make feathers levitate within a static field. From lightning to wireless lighting, the Van de Graaff generator reveals the actions of electrons in a hair-raising display!
