Theme: Awesome Anatomy
Explore body systems from the inside out! Engage in live dissections that allow you to get a closer look at how body systems work. Choose from fetal pigs, hearts, and eyes to gain a better perspective on the living body and its intricate design.
Theme: Amazing Animals
This workshop is about adaptations in animals and how astonishing they can be. Students will gain an understanding of how animals (including themselves) adapt to their environment, each other, and climate change.
Suitable for: Grades 3-5
Discover the diversity of animal groups and compare characteristics and behaviours between animals from different habitats. Get the chance to meet a real animal for a fun and visual learning experience.
Theme: Living Planet
Students will gain an understanding of astronomy by learning about the structure of our solar system and the celestial bodies in it! Star Lab offers a portable planetarium experience for students participating.
Students will expand on their understanding of astronomy by traveling beyond our own galactic neighbourhood. Galaxies, nebulae, and supernovae—oh my! Star Lab offers a portable planetarium experience for students participating.
What makes a habitat a home for plants and animals? Students will learn what a habitat requires to support life and how animals and plants adapt and interact to survive in unique habitats all over the globe.
Theme: Innovate
Science Centre Specials
The following workshops are only available at the Saskatchewan Science Centre.
We’ll shed some light on the electromagnetic spectrum through demonstrations of total internal refraction, fiber optics, prisms, UV, and fluorescence! Students will use mirrors and lasers to problem-solve their way through a team challenge.
Learn about the tiny creatures that make up the amazing diversity of life in a wetland. Students will take samples of water collected from Wascana Marsh and use a stereoscope to investigate both the living and non-living properties they find, the role they play in the ecosystem, and how to support them amidst climate change.
Design, build, and test a dwelling that can withstand dramatic and extreme climates. Learn the use and importance of materials and how to be resourceful when these supplies are limited. This hands-on workshop has students teaming up to discover their own solutions to building challenges.
In this workshop, students will perform hands-on experiments to explore the state of matter. This introduction to chemistry will be one to remember!
Let’s talk simple machines! In this workshop, students will learn how simple machines manipulate forces and allow humans to do awesome things.
These workshops are made possible with the help of our sponsors.
