Did you see that? Where did it go? High in the sky? Or down below? Watch very closely, here it comes back! We can do it again. Now how about that? Join us for the Chemistry Magic - a fun and enlightening science show.

This isn’t rocket science. Oh wait, it is! Did you know that it takes 5-15 years to design and build a rocket? We will explore rocket parts and aerodynamics while we construct model rockets!

Preparation: Pencil, paper, scissors, tape, straw, ruler, soft plastic water bottle

Expert: Ashwini Ramesh is an aerospace engineer and co-founder of Give Me Five, an organization that offers online STEM courses for youth.

Calling all food lovers! Join us as we explore the topic of food and nutrients! We’ll discover the beauty and origins of dishes from around the world and learn about the benefits of food diversity. Beware, you might feel a little hungry throughout the presentation so grab a snack and we’ll see you there!

Science Rendezvous this year will include a group dedicated to psychology. During this session,
you will get to explore your memory! You’ll get to learn about what memory really is and which
parts of the brain are responsible for memory. We will be exploring short-term, and long-term
memory while also learning about different memory strategies. There will be fun activities
throughout the session where you will get to test your memory skills while also learning about
strategies that will better help you remember important things. So if you’re excited to learn about
how to sharpen your memory and how your brain stores information, join us on May 7th at GH
Science Rendezvous!

Did you know your heart beats about 115,000 times each day? Come and join our “How does the Heart Work and the Cyborg Heart” event where we explore how the heart does its job. Together we will gain a deeper understanding of how blood travels through the heart and what causes the heart to beat. We will also learn about how pacemakers keep a malfunctioning heart healthy and beating. Don’t miss a beat and sign up for this heart stopping activity today!

Dr. David Stenning will discuss how new research in the exciting interdisciplinary research field of astrostatistics is advancing both astronomy and statistics.

We will look at how the milking robot operates and how the overall cow comfort in these new dairy barns is making cows live longer. We will present videos of cows being robotically milked virtual tour of a robot barn to see how these cows are living today. When you go to buy that container of milk or tub of ice cream at your local store in the future, you will then know more about how that milk product started o? at the farm before it gets to your table.

Have you ever looked at a dirty cup of water and wondered how you can make it cleaner? Tonight you will learn how!

Join Kia Barrow and Future Energy Systems as she teaches you about water quality, water treatment and the connection to energy consumption. Then build a DIY water filtration system at home.

A webinar given by a paleontologist discussing their experiences working on a variety of different Canadian fossils including Ediacaran fossils from Mistaken Point (Newfoundland) and the Northwest Territories, and Cretaceous fossils from the badlands of Alberta. The paleontologist will outline all of the steps that go into a fossil discovery: prospection, collection, preparation, research, and display and will be available for questions.

Do you want to be an Earth Doctor? Explore the steps of land reclamation with land reclamation scientists from Future Energy Systems and the Land Reclamation International Graduate School, University of Alberta. By playing along with the Dungeons and Dragons style game, you will face the challenges of land reclamation and try to heal the Earth yourself.

This session is recommended for children age 11 to 15 and families, however everyone is welcome.

In this workshop, you’ll discover how to bring these free resources into your classroom. You’ll examine the fossils, ask questions, and attempt some of the suggested classroom activities. Information on contents, curriculum connections, and borrowing both physical and digital editions of the Kits will be provided.

Join the team at SNOLAB for a virtual tour of Canada’s deep underground science laboratory. SNOLAB is a clean lab that is located 2km underground in an active mine. Scientists from around the world work together on huge experiment collaborations. Many experiments are focused on astroparticle physics but SNOLAB also hosts biology, geology and other types of science. Learn about the journey into the laboratory, about the science, and the people that make it happen.

Nanoparticles are between 1 and 100 nanometers. That is one-millionth of a millimetre! Nanoparticles are used in healthcare to deliver medicine to targeted body areas, environmental science to create wires for solar cells, and aerospace engineering for aircraft wings. Typically, nanoparticles are invisible to the human eye. In this session, we will use our microwaves to make nanoparticles that are highly luminescent and visible under UV light!.
