Extractions: Have you ever thought about how much water goes down the drain whenever you flush the toilet? How about when you turn on the dishwasher? Do you think it's the same in other parts of the world? Well, these questions can be answered by participating in "Down the Drain," a collaborative online classroom project designed by the Center for Improved Engineering and Science Education (CIESE). This cool exercise lets you collect data from around the world to see how their water-usage compares to ours at home.

Genetic Engineering: A Guide For Kids By Tiki The Penguin Find out about genetic engineering in this guide What is it? Click here togo to my links page to find out more about groups concerned about genetic http://tiki.oneworld.net/penguin/genetics/GE13.html
Extractions: What can kids do? Lots of things. If you are worried about GE, here's what you can do: Find out about others who feel the same way. There are hundreds of groups in many countries all working to wake up other people to the possible risks of GE. You can join and I've listed some on my links page. You can send emails or write letters to your local or national government in your country - that would really surprise them. Better still, call or write to supermarket managers or even the companies who make GMOs. Tell them what you think and why. You can pester your mum or dad to help you (and them) find out more. Get them to buy organic food (which is not allowed to contain any GMOs). If you have a garden or yard, try growing your own vegetables. It's fun... and then you know where your food came from. You could even keep a couple of hens for eggs (being a bird myself, I don't like to think about eating eggs but I don't suppose the hen will mind if you're kind to her). Or buy local food , perhaps from a farmer's market, your local farm or join a veg box scheme. Again, you know where the food comes from, who grows it and what it is they grow.
Extractions: CU Wizards Schedule Do you know a child who likes to take apart toys and rebuild them, or who asks questions like, "Why do the lights turn on when you flip the switch?" If so, you should check out our engineering classes for kids. We offer weeklong summer classes where children can study machines and discover what makes them work, then design and build an electro-mechanical robot or toy of your their creation.
What Do Scientists Do? a 64page publication of the American Society for engineering Education. www.fedstats.gov/kids.html This listing provides quick links to US government http://www.tryscience.org/parents/se_6.html
Extractions: To understand the importance of a good science education, it's important to think about the many ways in which science contributes to our everyday lives. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you're probably enjoying the benefits that result from a scientist's work. Sound engineers make your movies and music better. Doctors study diseases and discover new cures and treatments. Chemists bring you health and beauty aids - from medicines to soap and perfume - to keep you feeling and looking your best. Agricultural scientists help bring fresh, nutritious produce to your supermarkets. Automotive engineers get you from point A to point B quickly and safely. And before the pest control company comes to service your home, there are entomologists studying how bugs and critters operate. These are just a few examples. Many more examples of science abound, on the ground, in the skies, and in the oceans. When you think of scientists or engineers, you might think of astronauts, lab researchers, oceanographers, biologists, geologists, or anthropologists. But many other people in your community work with science every day: your dentist, pharmacist, veterinarian, zookeeper, optometrist, park ranger, and physical therapist or nurse, among others. People with science backgrounds also work as statisticians, teachers, and journalists. In short, science is an important part of many different kinds of jobs. Interested in more?

Extractions: GEERing Up! UBC Engineering and Science for Kids is a non-profit program dedicated to providing youth in Greater Vancouver opportunities to explore science, engineering and technology in fun, creative, innovative and educational ways. Designed, organized and operated by UBC students, we endeavor to show program participants how fun, exciting and useful engineering and science can be, using interactive demonstrations and hands-on activities. The students hear the words, see the examples, and do the rest! Our goal is to provide this incredible learning experience to as many youth as possible. In addition to bringing workshops to schools all over the Lower Mainland in May and June for each year, we offer camps at UBCs Point Grey campus each July and August. At our Explorers, Imagineers, Innovators and Inventors camps, children and youth who will be entering grades two through ten visit our on-campus camps for deeper discovery and learning. In addition, GEERing Up! offers several unique programs and initiatives, including Girls Only! Week with our Discoverers and Developers camps, Young Women in Science and Technology Mentorship Camp (YWSET) for those in grades 9 through 12, our new Junior Engineer Leadership Program for those in grades 11 and up, and an Aboriginal Outreach Satellite Camp with the Komox First Nation. This year, we are also pleased to offer a second Satellite Camp at another aboriginal community yet to be selected. GEERing Up! is committed to equal opportunity access, and offers bursaries to all campers who demonstrate financial need.
