We’ve created an updated version of our Activity Book that includes exciting experiments and activities from many different departments and agencies from within the Government of Canada. This new version accommodates different age groups and skill levels as the experiments and activities are tailored for different levels of difficulty and understanding. This is a great way to encourage everyone to challenge their inner scientist.

The Activity Books were assembled by the team responsible for Science.gc.ca - the official Government of Canada website for Science and Technology (S&T) information and resources.

Our Activity Books contain a series of individual experiments and activities that can be printed independently of each other. So, if you would like to learn how to make an Origami Whale, Build the Biosphere, or even find out Why Leaves Change Colour? you can download these activities now.

Look through the books to find fun experiments and activities to do at home, school, camp, alone or with friends. Teachers and youth groups are encouraged to order a free set of crests or zipper pulls – a great incentive for kids to complete the activities – along with a poster perfect for a classroom wall.

We encourage all youth group leaders to order these crests. They are perfect for sewing onto a favourite camp blanket, backpack, sash or lab coat.

Teachers and all other educators love our zipper pulls, they have a handy hook that lets kids attach it to their backpacks, coats, pencil cases or wallets.
