1 PHUN WITH PHYSICS » EIT 1009 Physics is lurking around every corner! Discover physics in the commonplace, create a mini roller coaster, and test limits!

2 ENGINEERING SCIENCE QUEST » EIT 1013 Join the ESQ team to science up your Halloween. Treat yourself to tricks like invisible ink, fake blood and scabs, a lava lamp, a dancing ghost and a scream machine!

3 THE HYDRO-LOGICAL CYCLE » EIT 1014 Why are wetlands called the kidneys of the earth? What is groundwater and how does it become contaminated? We’ll help you explore several hands on activities related to the water cycle. Join us for some hydrated fun!

4 EARTH SCIENCE ACTIVITIES AND GEM SHOW » EIT 1ST AND 2ND FLOOR TABLES Discover careers in earth science: prospect for gold, dig out real fossils as a paleontologist, use geologists tools to identify minerals, and design an earthquake proof building. Make yourself a dinosaur hat and hang out with the dinos in the Museum!

5 QUIET SPACE » EIT 1015 Take a breather and enjoy the peace of space with our slide show of astronomy images. Pick up a planisphere for the next time you watch the stars.

6 MINE TUNNEL » BETWEEN EIT AND ESC ON THE 1ST FLOOR The greatest way to get between the EIT activities and those in ESC – travel through the Cobalt Discovery Mine tunnel!

7 LITTLE PLANT SHOP OF HORRORS » ESC 104 See, touch, smell, play: get personal with plants! Explore the wonderful world of plants, and the diversity of life. Check out how chloroplasts move in the cell and craft an animal from leaves.

8 ADVENTURES IN CHEMISTRY » ESC 149 Kids can try dozens of hands-on activities: making slime and gloop, dry ice experiments, non-Newtonian fluids, turning copper into gold and many more!

9 BRRAAAAINZZ AND BODIES » ESC 146 Join us on an incredible journey through the mind and body. Make a brain hat, inspect animal skeletons and organs, and get up close to preserved specimens. Can you identify your world by smell alone?

10 THE INVISIBLE WORLD » ESC 146 Learn about the microorganisms that are all around us, all the time. Explore the role that they play in our everyday lives. Peer through microscopes, and make your own banana DNA necklace!

11 GIANT CELL » PHYSICS 235 Be transported to a microscopic world – on a huge scale! Take a walk around the inner workings of a cell. Create cells and proteins, and take home a kit to make your own Incredible Edible Cell.

12 EYE-OPENERS » PHYSICS HALLWAY You won’t believe your eyes! Learn about light and vision from our Optometry students.

13 LET’S TALK SCIENCE » PHYSICS HALLWAY See some of the tricks and treats the Let’s Talk Science volunteers could bring to your classroom, and pick up a brochure for your teacher.

14 MINING MATTERS » EIT 2ND FLOOR The Prospector’s and Developer’s Association will show how Canada’s geology and natural resources matter to you.

15 ALL THE WATER IN THE WORLD » EIT 2ND FLOOR Can you guess how much of Earth’s water is actually available for human use? Susan Reid from the Waterloo-Wellington Groundwater Festival will show you!

16 CHEMISTRY MAGIC SHOW » B1 271 Don’t miss this dazzling show of spectacular science! These chemical reactions will keep you on the edge of your seat. Shows start at 11 am and 2 pm.
