Resources

The Faculty of Science is pleased to provide the following resources, presenting myriad ways of exploring science and discovering innovation.

Let's Talk Science Outreach

Let’s Talk Science provides a unique opportunity for you to invite a university or college student volunteer into your classroom to conduct curriculum-aligned, hands-on science activities with your students at no cost to you or your school.

The Let's Talk Science All Science Challenge

This enrichment event is an exciting question and answer competition with fun, hands-on design challenges that inspires Grade 6, 7 and 8 students to acquire science knowledge beyond their curriculum. Participants work in teams of four to study the All Science Challenge Handbook, which covers a tremendous range of science material. All this preparation culminates in a one day event, with parents and classmates invited to cheer on their teams! Prizes are awarded to the winners and participation certificates are awarded to all team members.

The University of Waterloo will be host an All Science Challenge Event on April 21st 2011. Register now!
