  1. 2676. Ignite wonder, empower dreams, explode soda
    Dr Sandra Eix (Science World British Columbia)
    05/06/2019, 13:15
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Science Centres have long been known for pyrotechnical demonstration shows, summer camps, and larger-than-life exhibits. But we are increasingly being recognized as key players in larger learning ecosystems that support STEM learners of all ages. I'll show ways that Science World (and other informal science education organizations) collaborate with more formal institutions like universities,...

  2. 2402. Physics Students as Museum Curators
    Dr Joanne O'Meara (University of Guelph)
    05/06/2019, 13:45
    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Invited Speaker / Conférencier(ère) invité(e)

    Third-year undergraduate physics students in our Science Communications course were assigned the task of designing, building, and testing hands-on activities tied to the grade 6 science curriculum. In partnership with the Guelph Museum, we then ran a week of activities for local-area schools to participate through field trips. This presentation will discuss the collaboration in more detail,...

    The McMaster Nuclear Reactor (MNR) is a 5 MW multipurpose research reactor, located on campus at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. As one of the three most powerful university-based reactors in North America, and the only major neutron source in Canada, the MNR offers unique opportunities for teaching and learning, especially for physicists. We are currently developing a series of...

  4. 2443. Citizen Science with the Canadian Collaborative Occultation Network
    Dr Terry Bridges (Dept of Physics and Astronomy, Okanagan College)

    Physics Education / Enseignement de la physique (DPE-DEP)
    Oral (Non-Student) / Orale (non-étudiant(e))

    I will discuss the CanCON (Canadian Collaborative Occultation Network) project, a citizen science initiative to study Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) in the outer solar system. CanCON involves teachers, students, and amateur astronomers using modest telescopes and digital cameras to determine TNO sizes through precise measurements of the occultations of background stars by the TNOs. Stellar...
