Science on Stage Canada is a nationwide and international collaboration of science educators dedicated to the development and invigoration of science teaching across the country. Each Science on Stage Canada event will have a similar program with the flavour determined by the host-partner. See Science on Stage Program 2009 (PDF).

It is based on three pillars of support:

The Science Fair:
Showcase of Exemplary Teaching Practices

Teachers share their most successful and innovative ideas within a ‘science fair’ atmosphere. The teachers present how they inspire their students in the love of science.

Pedagogical Discussions

We deal with many obstacles in our day-to-day instruction. Bringing the perspectives of our colleagues from every region of Canada to the table in discussion of research and practice can only strengthen our efforts to overcome these obstacles.

Professional Development

SoSC 2010 offers three avenues of professional development. SoSC offers participants the unique opportunity for your students to have an authentic scientific inquiry experience through the Students on the Beamlines programme at the Canadian Light Source. The University of Saskatchewan’s College of Engineering offers multiple practical sessions. A Problem Based Learning workshop focussing on the life sciences is a third option offered by the College of Agriculture and Bioresources.
