The premise of this experiment is that you can use the sun to “cook” things. It’s a first step to understanding the concepts of renewable energy, and how the sun’s heat can be harnessed as a tool to help us achieve our goals, without using nonrenewable energy sources.

In this lesson, students will learn about nattiit (ringed seals) from both biology and an Inuit perspective.

In this lesson, students will expand on their learning from lesson one (Introduction to Nattiit, Ringed Seal)  and build their understanding for how the nattiit are being impacted by climate change and human activity.

In this lesson, students continue learning how to use the micro:bit in a hands-on lesson in which they develop and test a water quality monitoring system. 

In this lesson, students learn about how humanity has taken inspiration from nature when considering solutions to complex problems.

This infographic explores four different types of telescopes, where they are used, and how scientists use physics to combine different lenses and mirrors to learn more about space.

In this lesson, students explore the concept of what a force is and how forces affect our lives.

Part 3 explores the design of the seahorse tail and how, despite being unusual, their tale provides greater flexibility when moving.

Part 2 explores the design of a humpback whale’s flipper, which is the secret behind their graceful and agile swimming.

art 1 explores what viewers can expect from the Design Redefined series, what biomimicry is, and why we replicate design found in nature into modern technology.

Zoom is an example of a video conferencing platform used specifically for hosting meetings virtually by using a camera and microphone on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone).

We’re excited to launch a new podcast, bringing you an audio version of everything you love about Root & STEM.

Watering your plants evenly throughout is almost impossible so use mother nature as an example and build your own aquifer!

These unplugged activities are geared towards a younger audience with the intention of introducing basic coding concepts.

Step by step coding can be a very difficult process to go through, even the tiniest mistake can result in a bug that crashes the game. A great way to display this is through cooking, and what better food than pizza!

In this series, the basics of Scratch will be introduced to provide learners with the foundational skills required to begin creating in Scratch.

This unplugged coding activity challenges learners to decode a secret message written in binary code. In this activity learners will explore the computational thinking methods of decomposition. Learners will break down the binary code to represent single letters then arrange them in the blanks to uncover the secret message.

In this series, the basics of Scratch will be introduced to provide learners with the foundational skills required to begin creating in Scratch.

This tutorial will take a detailed look at the last 4 steps involved in creating a video game narrative and provide the learner with more direction to finish writing their own narrative.
