Discover the dinosaurs and other animals which lived in Alberta 75 million years ago, their environment, living conditions, and diet. The dinosaurs seemed to be intelligent and well adapted to their environment. Why did they disappear? Learn about theories of their disappearance and about the scientists who are uncovering this ancient history. Organized and circulated by the Exhibition Production Centre, Musée de la Nature et des Sciences, Quebec.
Build your visit around Dinosaurs & Company or add ½ hour to your program and explore the exhibit on your own.
FEB & MAR 2010
Slap Shot
and Hurry Hard
Celebrating the 2010 Olympics and Paralympics.
There are no education programs offered for these exhibits, as they are too small to accommodate full classes, but we wanted you to be aware that these exhibits will be on site.
Slap Shot - The Science of Hockey Choose the best puck for the hockey game. Predict then test which will be the most stable in flight: a hollow, medium weight or heavy puck. The drag on a puck in flight can cause it to be unstable, lose speed and fly off course. The right weight will help keep it stable. A Team Canada hockey player tests your puck choice with her slap shot. Will it make the score?
Designed and produced by the
Science Alberta Foundation through generous funding from RBC Foundation
and Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation.
Hurry Hard Choose the best ice surface for the curling sheet. Predict then test which ice surface will get our curling rock to the button: smooth, moderately pebbled or heavily pebbled ice. Getting just the right surface will let the rock slow down and curl. Watch while a curler throws the rock down your ice surface choice.
Created by the Science Alberta Foundation through generous funding by NSERC and Alberta Advanced Education and Technology.
FEB 20 through MAY 2010
This exhibit of favourites from the Collections was suggested by Galt staff as a project they were interested in. Our local audience has quite clearly asked for access to more of the artifacts from the Galt Collections and this project will bring many artifacts out of storage and into a fun and engaging exhibition. The exhibit planning committee members decided to expand the exhibit to include favourites from a wide variety of people in the community.
Build your visit around Treasures & Curiosities or add ½ hour to your program and explore the exhibit on your own.
JUN - AUG 2010
Build your visit around Our ancestors have come to visit or add ½ hour to your program and explore the exhibit on your own, or come for Kainai Voices [all Grades].
