Experiment and Explore: Science Project

Answer questions using the scientific method!

Kids will learn about the inquiry process and apply it to their very own science project! This activity will guide kids in developing, testing and sharing results for an experiment, from brainstorming ideas to finding background information and making observations. The final session will include a time to share their findings with the group in a mini-science fair!

Heather Turnbull Learn more about me

As a scientist, I LOVE exploring and learning through hands-on experimenting! Planting seeds and sprouts and watching them grow is one of my favourite things to do. I am an active learner and am currently participating in my MEd, my fourth university degree. I have worked with the Ontario Science Centre, Science North, and as a grade 7 and 8 classroom teacher for many years - all great places to try new things. I believe staying curious is the most important thing people can do!

I like taking pictures of plants, animals, water and sky, then use them to create fun works of art using glass, wood or paint!
