You and your students can be part of a research project and help support college student Shaylynn, who is conducting a survey for her Senior Thesis on emojis. She has been interested in ways different groups (ages, cultures, genders, etc.) interpret and use non-linguistic communication.

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of how people use emojis. This survey consists of: one section about intentions behind emoji use, one section about patterns of emoji use, one section about personality, and demographic information. It will take around 10-15 minutes to complete.

BugQuest is a national citizen science initiative. Schools and community sites across Canada can apply to host an insect trap for a season, collecting samples of flying insects from spring to fall. There's no charge and all the supplies will be provided to the selected sites.

The insects are then identified using DNA barcoding to build a clearer picture of Canada’s insect biodiversity. The project connects hands-on field sampling with real biodiversity research, while allowing students and educators to contribute directly to national-scale science.

A National Search to Uncover Biodiversity Discover the incredible insect biodiversity living in schoolyards, parks, and backyards across Canada. Starting in

The 2025 winter solstice will happen at 11:33 AM NL time on December 21. While we tend to think about it as the shortest day/longest night of the year, it only happens for a moment as it is the precise moment when the North or South Pole is furthest away from the Sun. Learn more in this short article from the Perimeter Institute:

By Grace Hunter Discover how this astronomical phenomenon works and why it’s celebrated. December 3, 2025 The longest night of the year is just ahead. Here are answers to common questions about the winter solstice, and why it's been an important part of human history since our very beginnings. The...
