Teach students some basic engineering principles through this entertaining hands-on exploration. In this program, students become budding engineers as they design a bridge able to withstand the physical forces acting upon it.

This program invites students to create a complex chain-reaction machine, using familiar materials in unusual ways. They will work in small teams as they experiment with the transfer of energy.

This is an interactive guided tour, linked to the Social Studies curriculum in both provinces

Discover how our houses are wired, allowing us to control various devices independently in different rooms. Through various hands-on electricity experiments, students will explore electrically conductive and insulating materials, and will learn the parts of an electrical circuit.

How do airplanes fly? Find out in Flight, a Museum school program.

Students visit the Museum’s collection, make observations, and ask questions about the role of aviation and the aerospace industry in Canada.

What makes things move? What makes them stop moving? In this program, students will investigate a variety of forces—and put them to work—as they determine the best way to make cars race down a track.

Enjoy an evening of space or aviation themed activities and workshops, plus a guided tour of the Museum.

So what is a night at the Museum really like? The displays don’t walk and talk, but the Museum will definitely come to life with interactive demonstrations and workshops, a guided tour by flashlight,

This program introduces students to the power of simple machines, and how we use pulleys and gears in our everyday lives. They will experiment with pulley systems to discover how they help with tasks such as lifting heavy objects.
