School Programs

Curriculum Enhanced
- KM: Children examine properties of objects.
- 1M: Students analyze properties of objects and investigate how they can be changed.
- 1SM: Students engage in and describe investigation.

Students will roll up their sleeves and step into the delightful world of chemistry – investigating the characteristics and properties of matter through experiments, and using their senses and lab tools to experience some surprising chemical reactions!

$250 | 60 minutes | Lab

Curriculum Enhanced:
- KE: Children explore movement of objects, humans, and other animals.
- 1E: Students investigate direction, pathway, and speed of moving objects and animals.

Let’s move! On the Inspiration Stage, students explore the movement of humans, objects and animals, and learn about kinetic energy and the energy of motion through creative movement and music.

Curriculum Enhanced:
- KES: Children examine and describe the surrounding environment.
- 1ES: Students analyze environments and investigate interactions and changes.
- 1LS: Students investigate and examine the needs of plants and animals.

In this outdoor lesson, students notice the animals/plants around them, think about the needs of living things, gain empathy in their interactions with them, and are challenged to create and play using large natural objects. Available May-June.

Curriculum Enhanced:
- K-3 Numbers, Shapes, Patterns & Relations

Explore numbers, shapes and patterns using creativity and dance! Spark and Decidedly Jazz Danceworks have teamed up to create a unique learning experience for young mathematicians-in-training. Available Thursdays at 10:00 and 11:30 AM.

Curriculum Enhanced:
- 1M: Students analyze the properties of objects and investigate how they can be changed.
- 2M: Students investigate properties of materials and relate them to a purpose.

Students explore an important aspect of science and innovation – failure – while working together to test out the suitability of different materials, manipulate them in different ways and build an invention that serves two functions at once (like a floating bridge).

$250 | 60 minutes | Workshop

Curriculum Enhanced:
- K-3 Numbers, Shapes, Patterns & Relations

In this workshop, explore patterns, shapes and number manipulation through movement, facilitated by a skilled expert from Decidedly Jazz Danceworks – observing all the shapes they can create with their body and patterns through their movement. Available Thursdays at 10:00 and 11:30 AM.

Curriculum Enhanced:
- 2E: Students investigate the behaviours of light and sound.

Sound is everywhere, yet it often behaves in ways that are unexpected. Using specialized and everyday materials, students will explore how sounds travel, are heard and interpreted. Makes a great companion to the LOOKS LIKE SCIENCE program! Monday, Wednesday and Friday only.

$250 | 60 minutes | Workshop

Curriculum Enhanced:
- 2E: Students investigate the behaviours of light and sound.

Prepare to be illuminated! Experimenting with the electromagnetic spectrum, students will explore the light that is both seen and invisible – moving, manipulating, reflecting and refracting it. Makes a great companion to the SOUNDS LIKE SCIENCE program. Monday, Wednesday and Friday only.

$250 | 60 minutes | Workshop

Curriculum Enhanced:
- 2E: Students investigate the behaviours of light and sound.

Get ready to take Jamie, Spark’s LEGO® mini-figure, on a surfing adventure across the rainbow! Students will collaboratively and creatively code them to ride through reflected, refracted and dispersed light, with some science and math surprises along the way. Tuesday and Thursday only.

$250 | 60 minutes | Workshop

Curriculum Enhanced:
- 2ES: Students investigate Earth, its landforms, its bodies of water, and its relationship to the Sun.
- 3ES: Students analyze changes in Earth’s surface and explain how its layers hold stories of the past.

Using past robotic space missions, search for the conditions needed for life on Mars! Throughout the live show, students will analyze Martian surface geology and its watery distant past, and make connections between the history of both Mars and Earth! Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 9:30 AM and 1:00 PM.

$250 | 60 minutes | Live Infinity Dome Show

Curriculum Enhanced:
- 3M: Students investigate and analyze how materials have the potential to be changed.
- 3SM: Students relate investigation to building knowledge.

Students transform into chemists and materials scientists, exploring the properties of matter in a real-life lab setting! Gaining valuable skills in lab safety, research and recording hypotheses and observations. Note: close-toed shoes and the ability to pull hair back are key!

$250 | 60 minutes | Lab

Curriculum Enhanced:
- 3E: Students investigate and explain how forces affect the movement of objects.
- 3CS: Students investigate creativity and its relationship to computational thinking.

Explore the magnitude and direction of forces while building and programming a LEGO® amusement park! Students will collaborate as they learn about sequences and pattern recognition in code, and will innovate and debug their amusement park ride to make it more inclusive for all. Tuesday and Thursday only.

$250 | 60 minutes | Workshop

Curriculum Enhanced:
- 3ES1 Students analyze changes in Earth’s surface and explain how its layers hold stories of the past.

The incredible geological history of Alberta includes ice, rivers, mountains, deserts and the wild and weird animals that inhabited it! Students will interact with fossils and various materials to create a story of changing landscapes through time, building their own model landscapes and interpreting the history they represent.

$250 | 60 minutes | Workshop

Curriculum Enhanced:
- 3E: Students investigate and explain how forces affect the movement of objects.
- 4E (new): Students investigate how forces can act on objects without contact.

Students explore the forces that surround us (contact and non-contact) through the design and creation of unique marble runs! Equipped with giant peg boards, a variety of tracks, magnets and simple machines, it’s an investigation of the power of physics in a real-world context!

$250 | 60 minutes | Workshop

Curriculum Enhanced:
- Gr 3-4 Numbers, Shape & Space

Addition and subtraction has never been so much fun! Explore how our bodies can be used to showcase patterns, shapes and number manipulation with a unique experience presented by Decidedly Jazz Danceworks. Available Thursdays at 10:00 and 11:30 AM.
