Food on Earth and Space
We visit several farms (the Ottawa Experimental Farm, the Toronto Island Farm) and several community gardens. We are trying to see how the food is produced. And then to see how it could be produced in space (I.S.S. with the project Tomatosphere) or on Mars.

Planting the Seed for Space Exploration and Math
Hi everybody,
Great activity today for the taste/food in Space and...math!
We used resources from MX-Train like an astronaut; book "Planting the seed for space exploration" from Canadian Space Agency and seeds from Tomatosphere/Let's talk about science.
Canadian teams we're waiting for your photos. Please share your experience :-)Victoria K.
Laser ranging to the Moon, Mars and beyond
We are trying to build a laser maze on a budget (and learning about laser in Space) + we are studying colors and light with a spectroscope.
Next time, we will observe wavelength and learn about nodes and antinodes.Light and Nanosecond
We are trying to calculate the distance that light travels in one nanosecond.
