Science Rendezvous is an annual nationwide celebration of science. UBC is joining the celebration for the first time this year, and during this free, family-friendly event we will be revealing exciting experiments and riveting research through hands-on activities, interactive presentations, and exclusive tours of UBC’s research facilities. This year we are “Celebrating our Natural World”, and we invite you to join us to:

· Explore the physics of energy consumption while experimenting with hydrogen powered model cars and other economical ingenuity.

· Go on a fossil excavation and discover ancient animals and other geological wonders.

· Test out a new set of Phylo game cards made especially for UBC’s Beaty Biodiversity Museum. <- That's me!

· Expose the secret chemistry of invisible ink.

· Get the chance to peek behind the scenes at a Marine Biology Research Lab and see some interesting invertebrates.

· Sink some seeds into a soily splat and bring some urban agriculture home.

· Be a DNA Detective and discover the meaning behind this miraculous molecule.

· Make some noise and search for the science of sound waves.

· Bring out your Junior Scientist for some knee-high knowledge

· And more!

The Beaty Biodiversity Museum will also be offering 50% off regular admission* so this is a great time to come and explore!
