After our mapping exploration, we look a long bus ride to...Laser Quest! We took part in their “Quest for Knowledge: STEM Program on Light and Sound” to discover how light and sound interact with various objects at Laser Quest and what materials are used to transmit, reflect, and absorb light and sound. We had a blast playing two fun-filled missions of Laser Quest!
On our second last day of school, we went nearby to Todmorden Mills Heritage Site to participate in their newly launched program on Indigenous peoples. We looked at various maps of Canada from different time periods and by different groups of people (i.e., Indigenous peoples, European settlers) and concluded that it is important to consider perspective when looking at a map. Students then created a map of Todmorden Mills, which were then compared to reinforce the point that maps of the same area can look different, depending on the focus and perspective. As we were a pilot group for this module, we had an opportunity to vote on the experience.
