24 Hours of Science

Sink or Float?

Have you ever wondered why some objects sink and others float? As part of McGill’s Bicentennial and 24 Hours of Science, come find out with PhysicsMatters’ Sink or Float activity! Kids of age ~9-11 are all welcome to this highly interactive, online learning session where we will discover what makes an object sink or float by performing hands-on experiments with common household objects.

The event will take place on Zoom. To register your child for this activity, please fill out this form.

This session will be performed in English. Pour la version française, suivez ce lien.

Craters on the Moon

Have you ever taken a close look at the Moon and wondered how it got to be so bumpy, instead of being smooth? Come find out with AstroMcGill + PhysicsMatters’ Craters activity! Kids of age ~9-11 are all welcome to this highly interactive, online learning session where we will make our own craters and find out why they come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. All experiments use only common household objects. A document containing a list of objects will be added shortly.
