Science Background:
The basis of how the balloon works is that warmer air rises in cooler air. This is because hot air is lighter than cool air as it has less mass per unit of volume. Mass can be defined by the measure of how much matter something contains. The actual balloon (called an envelope) has to be so large as it takes such a large amount of heated air to lift it off the ground. For example, to lift 1000 pounds worth of weight you would need almost 65,000 cubic feet of heated air! To help keep the balloon in the air and rising, hot air needs to be propelled upwards into the envelope using the burner.

Science Background: All organisms interact, and a key science concept for students to understand is that all organisms affect each other and are affected by each other. Getting rid of a certain species like mosquitoes disrupts the entire food chain, and this simulation allows them to start thinking about the ecosystem in a big picture way.

Have you ever heard of the Peppered Moth? It's a great example of how living things can change because their environment has changed. And it's not just them! There used to be giant insects roaming the world, but they got smaller through time because their environments changed. In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina gives us some examples of how and why living things change because of their environments.

Win the chance for your class to operate a Lunar Rover in a simulated mission. There will be Canadian rovers on the Moon by the end of this decade. Let’s Talk Science, Canadensys Aerospace, and Avalon Space have teamed up to give Canadian youth in Grades 6-9 the opportunity to learn about rover technology and how to plan missions on the Moon.
The Lunar Rover Research Challenge invites teams of students to pitch their mission plans for the chance to remotely operate a Canadensys rover in a lunar-like environment.
Welcome to the Lunar Rover Research Challenge!
The challenge is for students to design a rover mission to find frozen water at the South Pole of the Moon. The activity is structured as a collaborative board game or digital game where students are guided through the design process. They equip their rover with scientific instruments, choose a target, then determine where to take measurements.
The experience is designed around 5 lessons:
1: Learn about Canada’s role in the upcoming lunar missions and the benefits of space exploration to life on Earth 2: Review the mission brief and learn how to plan a rover mission on the Moon 3: Plan the mission using an iterative design process scaffolded as a collaborative board game 4: Communicate ideas and prepare for submission 5: Reflect on the team’s experience and the impact of space exploration on society
Set in the context of space exploration, this project develops students’ design thinking, teamwork, and communication skills. Students must design their research mission by considering pros and cons, and weighing risks and rewards.
This challenge can be completed without a submission to the competition.

The purpose of this STEM project was for student’s to show their mastery of outcomes ME3.1 and ME3.2 using a STEM challenge. STEM is the acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and requires the usage of each area in the planning, design and building of an inquiry-based project. In this challenge, the students were tasked with designing and building a magnetic maze for their classmates to maneuver a paper clip through in a race. The students were required to plan their maze and gather materials prior to class then assemble and test during class time. They then had the opportunity to test the mazes of two other classmates. Post-reflection of the activity involved discussion and evaluation of what worked and what didn’t and the best ideas and strategies that were discovered.

It's time to talk about one of the most awesome scientists that has ever been awesome: Marie Curie. She figured out ways to get an amazing education despite the limitations of her homeland, discovered some really important answers to the question "what is stuff?", and she helped other people (like her husband) complete their own studies and discoveries.
