Good day Home School families,
Our next round of home school sessions are happening Tuesday February 17, 2015. The session content is as follows:
Ages 5-7: 9:45 AM - 10:30 AM in Kilowatt Korner
H2Olympics - Examining Water Properties
What is cohesion, adhesion, capillary action and surface tension? Find out the meaning of these key words as students cycle through water stations performing experiments.
Ages 8-12: 10:45 AM - 12:00 Noon in Enterprise Room
Zoom
What is the fastest thing humans know of? Why do things go fast? How does our body react to things that go quickly? What are the fastest animals on earth? Students will make their very own fast moving craft and learn how to add more power to speed things up.
Age 13: 10:45 AM - 12:00 Noon in Kilowatt Korner
Population Dynamics
Animal populations fluctuate naturally. There are many different reasons for this natural fluctuation from predation to weather to food abundance. In this session we will model the natural fluctuation of the rabbit population in Nova Scotia.
