Chemistry

From: 14 March 2010 To: 18 March 2010 Age Group: 9 -12 years

Chemistry is the science of chance. It looks at all the different kinds of substances and how they interact with each other. People in widely differing walks of life use chemistry on daily basis. This chemistry workshop encompasses a variety of simple and fun scientific experiments that aim to familiarize children with some chemical secrets, such as chemical reactions, atoms and molecules, acid base reactions, the difference between compounds and mixtures, among many other secrets.
   

The Human Body

From: 07 March 2010 To: 11 March 2010 Age Group: 9 -12 years

The human body is the entire physical and mental structure of a human organism. By the time the human reaches adulthood, the body consists of close to 10 trillion cells. Groups of cells combine to form tissue, which combines to form organs, which work together to form organ systems. This workshop is about the human body and its enthralling wonders. It includes experiments about lung capacity, digestion, DNA, the skeleton, pulse, as well as embryonic stages.
   

Food Chain

From: 01 March 2010 To: 06 May 2010 Age Group: 9 -12 years

Whether it is a hawk at the top of the food chain or a bacterium at the bottom of it, all living organisms are vital to the survival of the whole ecosystem. There are dozens of connections linking each organism with a number of others forming, not only food chains, but also food webs. In this workshop, students learn more about ecosystems and life cycles getting acquainted with the terms "food chain" and "food web".
  

Marine Biodiversity

From: 01 March 2010 To: 06 May 2010 Age Group: 9 -12 years

It is almost certain that life originated in the oceans; today, marine biodiversity is threatened by human activities. This workshop introduces children to marine life in Egypt through a variety of activities showcasing the nature of marine organisms. An outdoor activity, the workshop includes a trip to the aquarium.
  

Genetic Diversity

From: 01 March 2010 To: 06 May 2010 Age Group: 12 -15 years

This workshop includes several hands-on activities, one of which introducing students to the concept of genetic variation within a population. This activity is divided into three stages; observation and comparison of traits within a group, active demonstration of how increased diversity contributes to greater survivability, then reinforcement of the concept through a game in which participants play the role of a herd of deer coping with changes in the environment over the course of time.
   

Plant Power

From: 01 March 2010 To: 06 May 2010 Age Group: 6 -9 years

This workshop aims to provide students with an opportunity to learn more about the plant kingdom and its value for humans. Using games, experiments, and stories, the workshop informs children about the vital role of these organisms in the treatment of numerous diseases; hence, their impact on our daily life.

Sustainability

From: 14 February 2010 To: 18 February 2010 Age Group: 9 -12 years

Sustainability is maintaining Earth and its natural resources to continue to provide a home for humans and all its life forms. In ecology, sustainability is how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. For humans, it is the potential for long-term wellbeing, which depends on the wellbeing of the surrounding environment; thus, the responsible use of Earth’s resources. In this workshop, children learn to take care of Earth and the creatures living on it.
   

Ecosystem Services

From: 14 February 2010 To: 18 February 2010 Age Group: 12 -15 years

Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. In this workshop, children get acquainted with biodiversity, its significance for life to continue, as well as its three main levels; ecosystems, species and genes. Diversity of ecosystems provides essential benefits and services to human society like food, clothing, shelter, fuel and medicines, among others. After exploring the concept of biodiversity, the workshop focuses on the different ecosystems around the world, with special emphasis on Egyptian ecosystems.
