Ontario Science Center Trip

Prep4Nine is having its first field trip for all our Prep4Nine students! Other students are also welcome!

We are so excited to meet our students in person and learn some science along the way.

When: Tuesday May 28th, 2024

Time: PLEASE ARRIVE BY 10:00 am for check-in and registration

Due to renovations we will meet outside infront of the OMNIMAX theatre.  All visitors will take a shuttle from the front of the building to the Science Centre's exhibit halls.

1. On-Site School Program

Topic: Living Things and the Environment

Grade: 1 & 2

Type: Hands-On Workshop, level 4 outside Kidspark

Duration: 45 minutes 

Time: 2:00 pm

What are the basic needs for all living things, and how do different organisms adapt to their environments? Learn about the important roles of air, water and soil and what humans can do to create a healthy environment to care for all living things.

We encourage our grade 1  and 2  students to take part in this fun workshop which is part of the grade 1&2 curriculum.

2. On-Site School Program

Topic: Machines & Mechanisms

Grade:  3 & 4

Type: Hands-On Workshop

Duration: 45 minutes 

Time: 1:00 pm

Feel the force! How do machines make it easier to get things done? Explore how different mechanisms transmit motion and transform forces. Then, design and build a machine of your own and test its ability to perform simple tasks.

We encourage our grade 3  and 4  students to take part in this fun workshop which is part of the grade 4 curriculum.

3. On-Site School Program

Topic: Maker's Challenge: Flight

Grade: 5-7

Type: Hands-On Workshop, meet on level 6 outside hot zone.

Duration: 90 minutes 

Time: 2:00 pm

Science, engineering and art collide with this exciting program! Consider the forces of flight as you design a strong, stable flying structure that uses the properties of air to lift an unconventional payload. Then, use your problem-solving skills to test and improve your invention.

We encourage our grade 5 -7  students to take part in this fun workshop which is part of the grade 6 curriculum.

4. On-Site School Program

Topic: Chemistry Concepts with Action

Grade: Highschool

Type: Hands-On Workshop, meet on level 2 outside the studio area

Duration: 45 minutes 

Time: 2:00 pm

Chemical reactions have never been so exciting! Make observations, predictions and connections to everyday life and the environment as you study the chemistry of elements, acid–base and redox reactions, gas laws, polymers and combustion.

We encourage highschool students to take part in this fun workshop based on the grade 9 - 12 curriculum

5. On-Site School Program

Topic: Human Anatomy and Physiology

Grade: Highschool

Type: Hands-On Workshop

Duration: 45 minutes 

Time: 1:00 pm

6. Both Highschool programs for $19

Topic: Human Anatomy & Chemistry Concepts

Grade: Grade 8/Highschool

Time: 1:00-1:45 & 2:00-2:45

Take a close look at the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Observe real mammalian organs and learn about the function of cells, tissues and organs in the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems.

We encourage highschool students to take part in this fun workshop that is based on the grade 10 & 11 curriculum.

Please note we can only have 1:2 ratio for parent to student, so only one parent can register per family for now. If you need a second parent ticket, please email us.

Registration will close on Sunday May 19th at midnight.

Parking is $12/day - flat rate, however if you have more than 3 kids in your car the parking fee will be waived. This is a great deal, so try to carpool if you can.

Prayer room: There is a worship room where you can pray your dhuhr and asr salah.

Lunch: We encourage everyone to bring their own nut-free lunches. There are dedicated spaces for the school groups to eat. We will find a place to eat together on the day of. There is also a cafeteria on site. 

*If you already have membership for the OSC, you do not have to register with  us and you can just show up on the day and join along with the group for the exhibit :) 

If you have a membership and are interested in the in class option you will need to buy the ticket.

We are excited for this trip and hope you can come and join us Insha'Allah!
