Explore how electrical energy is generated and how energy is transformed from one form to another by building a working wind turbine. Use the engineering cycle to build, test and revise our model so that it generates as much electrical energy as possible. Free STEM resources and an equipment raffle.
Participants will use a model to investigate the relationship between DNA, gene, and chromosomes. This exciting new activity ties the concept of inheritance of traits to the processes of meiosis, gamete formation and fertilization. Participants will build a set of chromosomes, model gamete formation and fertilization and then build the resulting offspring. Equipment raffle and free resources provided.
Participants will experience a unique model for how genetic traits are passed on to offspring. Concepts such as traits, alleles, phenotypes, genotypes and heredity will come alive as you create crazy creatures. Participants will also play the game of Adaptations. Free resources and door prizes.
This one hour workshop will focus on strategies to improve the understanding of Newton's second law, inertia and collecting data to cement the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. Equipment raffle and free resources provided.
