Biology

February 6, 2023 By ScienceRiotGrrls

$452 HST included

July 24 @ 9:00 am – July 28 @ 4:00 pm EDT

Let’s get messy and learn!

This week we will be exploring living things – the six kingdoms of living things, cells -the smallest unit of life and the components of living things – natural polymers.

Kids will be :

  • experimenting with cellulose slime or methyl cellulose gunge!
  • making a polymer clay model of a cell
  • dissecting a flower
  • collecting and
  • visiting a local animal rescue or High Park Zoo – TBA

Focus on Women in STEM Rachel Carson, Marine Biologist, Author, & Conservationist, Rosiland Franklin, Chemist & X-ray crystallographer, Maria Sybilla Merian, the Mother of Entomology,Dr. Anne Innis Dagg, Zoologist

Cyanotypes

January 14, 2023 By ScienceRiotGrrls Leave a Comment

$115 CAD taxes included

June 2 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm EDT

In 1854, Ana Atkins used a newly discovered technology called cyanotypes to record all the specimens of algae found in the British Isles.

In this workshop, you will capture your own cyanotype image on a piece of cotton paper or cloth. Kids are welcome to bring their own piece of clothing or cloth to make a cyanotype print. Each camper will be able to make a minimum of two cyanotype prints. Create a record of the world around you with cyanotypes.

Winter Break 2023

December 19, 2022 By ScienceRiotGrrls Leave a Comment

$380 CAD taxes included

January 3 @ 9:00 am – January 6 @ 4:00 pm EST

Get Ready for Winter! Make lip balm and hand warmers. Experiment with exothermic – that means heat-giving – chemical reactions. You’ll be introduced to a variety of underrepresented STEM trailblazers

At its heart, science is about raising questions, exploring new possibilities, and looking at the world from a different perspective. We’ve put together some creative experiments and activities and developed a space where you can work with a group, make new friends and build your science skills! Join us for four days this winter break.

Spring – Tuesdays – Renewable Energy

November 28, 2022 By ScienceRiotGrrls

April 18 @ 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm EDT

$295 Taxes & Materials Included

What is Renewable Energy?  Why is it important?

In this 8-week session, students will learn about the chemicals that make up our atmosphere, the cycles that result in rain and the ground we stand on. Students will have an opportunity to create an invention using a simple solar electric circuit. 

Students will be introduced to scientists such as Eunice Newton Foote, Amanda Weeks, Lynn Jurich, Nzambi Matee and Katherine Hayhoe.

$295 materials and taxes included.

January 11 @ 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm EST

Chemistry Wednesdays

Chemistry! In this session we’ll explore the difference between chemical and physical reactions. Experiment with different material properties. Make homogeneous and hetereogeneous mixtures. Learn about the elements and where they were formed. We dig in deep and have fun. Yes there will be slime.

Kids will be introduced to STEM trailblazers, Marie Curie, Mae Jamison, Dorthy Crowfoot Hodgkin, and Lise Miter.

After School pick up available at request.
