Explore the process of fossilization and the differences between the types of fossils. Glimpse behind the scenes to follow the journey of a fossil from its discovery, excavation in the field, and preparation at the Museum. The program concludes with an interactive Q&A period where we use images, videos, and real fossils to compliment our answers. Alaska SeaLife Center researchers need your help to solve the mystery of the endangered Steller Sea Lion's population decline. Was it environment, pollution, or diet? Scientists use the "scoop on poop" to find out. By dissecting sea lion scat, students will use the scientific method to uncover clues about the animal's diet and foraging behaviour, determining the species, weight, and size of the fish the sea lion has eaten. The Scoop on Poop Alaska Sea Life Centre The Alaska Sea Life centre also offers Living in the Ring of Fire, Cephalopods: Squid Dissection, and more. Meet Hillary Lanigan from Curve Lake First Nation, the Outreach Coordinator for Indigenous Futures in Engineering at Queen's University. In this session, students will design and build a chair to support a toy bear, exploring strength, stability, and materials through the Engineering Design Process (EDP). They'll apply these principles in hands-on activities and present their creations to the class. This workshop emphasizes how engineering shapes daily life and the environment. Bear's Chair – Create a strong, stable structure Indigenous Futures in Engineering Royal Tyrrell also offers Discovering Dinosaurs, Dino Safari, and more. The Michigan Science Centre also offers Rad Reactions, Visible Light, and more. Why do things explode? Dive into the fascinating relationships between pressure, temperature, and fuel to uncover why things go KA-BOOM! In this exciting session, we'll explore the fire triangle and mix the wonders of physics and chemistry to create some loud, flashy, and spectacular effects.
