Science for Kids in French
Children cultivate their interest in science while improving their French language skills.
One-of-a-Kind Concept
Using a STEAM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) approach, EXPLORUM’s experiments offer a fun and interactive supplement to the Ontario Science and Technology Curriculum.
Students explore, question and have fun... Actually, they learn without realising it. Under the constant direction of an EXPLORUM supervisor, each young scientist has his/her own material with which he/she experiments.
Scientastic Saturdays
In partnership with one of Toronto’s best bilingual school!
Fun and dynamic science experiments in French (with a bit of English) for your young "scientist!"
90-minute workshops offered in 6 to 8 week sessions on Saturday mornings in a fully equipped Science Lab where students have their own station with up-to-date science materials and equipment.
5- to 8-year-olds could make a liquid rainbow, concoct gooey slime, build planets or much more.
9- to 12-year olds could explore the principle of a catapult, pretend they are astronauts, build their own car among other experiments.
