Super Science Club

After School Science Club!

Super Science Club is a partnership between the UFV Faculty of Science and Science World which provides students the opportunity to participate in a hands-on science club! Our goal is to provide students in grades 1-6 with engaging after school STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) experiences through exciting demonstrations, hands-on investigations, active games, and more.

Every fall and winter semester UFV science students are trained by Science World to deliver fun and informative after-school science activities to children in the Fraser Valley.

Since 2010 UFV students have been delivering the Super Science Club program to schools including, Eugene Reimer Middle School, Gordie Howe Middle School, Bernard Elementary, Central Elementary, Rosedale Elementary, and Deroche Elementary. Each year, Super Science Club reaches over 100 elementary students (and future scientists?!!).

Weekly Club:

The Super Science Club usually runs from 3:15-4:30 pm once a week and we can run primary groups for up to 12 students in grades 1-3 and/or intermediate groups for up to 15 students in grades 4-6. The program covers 4-5 weeks of activities!

2022 Topics include:

  • Everyday Discoveries - Scientific Method
  • Tinkering with Wigglebots - Engineering
  • Optics - Physics
  • Code-A-Long - Design and Technology
  • Crystal Formation - Chemistry

Science World Family Membership

If students have good attendance and uphold the SSC Code of Conduct, they receive a one-year family membership to Science World at the end of the program! These memberships are for immediate family only, up to 2 adults and 4 children per membership. If two children in SSC are siblings, they will receive only one membership for their family.

Family Science Night

Science World opens its doors to families of current Super Science Club participants, their teachers and site liaisons for one evening at the end of each term (December and May). There will be hands-on activities and the opportunity to explore Science World exhibits with the whole family.
