The milestone event showcases the largest number of science activities in its history, adding a touch of Halloween fun.
School-aged kids can pan for gold, extract banana DNA, explore a giant cell, concoct slime from household products and jump inside a giant soap bubble, all while learning about chemistry, genetics, momentum and gravity.
Families are also invited to attend the popular Chemistry Magic Show at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., featuring about 20 fascinating demonstrations.
“This year’s Science Open House is truly a collaborative effort,” said Heather Neufeld, outreach coordinator for the Faculty of Science at Waterloo. “Students, staff and faculty from four departments and two professional schools within the Faculty of Science are coming together to share their passion for science with the community.”
