Behind the scenes: Meet an organic grain farmer

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Shelley and Tony Spruit are going against the grain. After more than a quarter century of growing wheat, soybeans, and corn — mainly for animal feed and ethanol — the couple began experimenting with alternatives on their family owned and operated farm near Ottawa, planting seeds from corn and barley varieties not traditionally grown in Ontario. The move is reflective of their agricultural philosophy, and Shelley Spruit believes it’s critically important to educate consumers about what they’re

Volunteer week: The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum offers an unusual museum experience

The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum — a working farm in the heart of the Ottawa — is not your typical museum. So it’s fitting that volunteering at the museum isn't your typical experience either.

Virtual reality brings the farm life experience to students worldwide

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Field trip planning just got a whole lot easier. Thanks to the power of virtual reality, teachers based anywhere in the world can now take their students on an educational tour of the dairy barn at the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum — which is also a working farm in Ottawa, Canada. The museum has partnered with Google Arts & Culture to develop “Explore a Dairy Farm,” a virtual reality (VR) expedition available through the Google Expeditions app. Nadine Dagenais Dessaint, who works as an

The Canadian economy and the Second World War

Kristy von Moos

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Canada’s economy underwent dramatic changes during the Second World War, as Britain looked overseas for new sources of food, lumber, minerals, and other resources. While the 1930s were dominated by the Great Depression, the outbreak of war spurred the greatest growth the country has ever known. Between 1939 and 1945, Canada’s gross national product (GNP) more than doubled.

Inventing is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration and 10% television

Hello there, my reading friend. Television is undoubtedly one of the great inventions of the 20th century. It is the best of things, it is the worst of things, if I may paraphrase Charles John Huffam Dickens. Would you care to accompany me down memory lane to look at one of the best television show you have never heard of, a story brought to you by a photo found in the 7 October 1948 issue of Photo-Journal, a weekly newspaper published in Montréal, Québec? Once upon a time, around September 1947

Greetings to you, my reading friend. It is with some trepidation that I offer you the following story of hardship and, sadly enough, tragedy. This being said (typed?), this story was also one in which brave crews did all they could to help their fellow human beings. As such, it was and is well worth telling. Having put before you these words of warning, yours truly will now set the stage for our topic of the week, found in the 7 October 1948 issue of Photo-Journal, a weekly newspaper published

A conversation with a honeybee (Part 2)

Sarah I.K.M. King, Eng., PhD

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Technology

Yesterday, in part 1 of “A conversation with a honeybee,” we began imagining what a honeybee might say if it had the chance to chat with a human.* The story continues below. I went inside to get an essential oil diffuser, to gently repel the mosquitos. As I was about to return to my tree to rest and start reading again, I heard some buzzing next to my flower bush. There was the bee, and she was counting, “Nine-hundred ninety nine flowers, one thousand flowers, one thousand and one flowers…” “I

A conversation with a honeybee (Part 1)

In honour of World Honeybee Day on August 18, let’s imagine what a honeybee might say if it had the chance to chat with a human*. On a hot summer day, after working long hours in my garden — taking care of my flowers and vegetables — I decided to rest in the shade of my apple tree and read a few pages. No sooner had I sat down when a little bee fell onto my book. I heard her crying for help, “Please, somebody help me. Help!” I answered, “I’m here, are you OK?” She was breathing heavily and
