Choose the Saskatchewan Science Centre for your field trip this year!
F
ield trips can enhance and expand upon the materials that you are teaching in class, but there are only so many opportunities to get outside of the classroom during the school year. When you do choose a location for a field trip, you want to make the most of it. Choosing the Saskatchewan Science Centre for your field trip is one of the best ways to do that. With more than 150 handson exhibits to explore, a large variety of workshops to take part in, and educational IMAX films, it’s easy to tie your lesson plan into a fun and productive field trip.
Each of our workshops is designed for a specific grade level to work with the curriculum that you are teaching in your class. Information about inquiry learning activities is provided so that you can plan lessons around the things your students experience at the Science Centre, and the visiting exhibitions and IMAX films are presented with Educator Guides to help take the load off of planning pre and post field trip activities. Start the day right at 9:15! A quick check-in, and by 9:30 one of our science educators is taking your class to their workshop location. Maybe it’s Star Trip – where our inflatable digital planetarium takes students on a visual journey out into the universe – followed by some exploration time on the exhibit floor! Promote inquiry learning and use the scavenger hunts or activity sheets available on our website to help their fun time be productive. This time could also include watching one of our hourly stage show demonstrations on topics including cryogenics, gravity, air pressure, animals, and even fire! Enjoy lunch on site at noon, which can be eaten out in beautiful Wascana Park if the weather permits. Then, at 1:00, watch an IMAX documentary on our five story screen with intense 3D images and more than 10,000 watts of surround sound to keep your students glued to their seats. By 1:45, you’re back on the way to your bus and back to school with plenty of time to spare.
Of course, that’s just one way to experience the Science Centre with your class! Whether you would like a full-day or half-day experience, we can help you plan it. Our full list of workshops, IMAX films, and teacher resources are available on our website, and as part of our Beyond the Classroom Teacher Planning Guide. If you’re too far away from Regina to visit us, let us come to you with our Go! Science Outreach team. A full day of programming can be brought right to your school, with hands-on, grade-appropriate workshops and stage shows that can bring your whole school together for some exciting science demonstrations!
Get beyond the classroom this year and ignite the scientific curiosity of your class at the Saskatchewan Science Centre! Real science. Real fun. Visit sasksciencecentre.com for more information.

Hidden Valley Ski Resort and Cypress Hills Provincial Park, Alberta – Student Centered Learning
I
f you ever went on a school ski trip then you know it is one thing that you will remember
for life. School ski trips are more than just a day out… they are times to learn, challenge, excel, bond, laugh, cry or make new friends. They memories being made by an experience many may not have the chance to do out of school.
Hidden Valley is located near Elkwater, within the Cypress Hills Provincial Park, Alberta. At 1,235 feet, and with an extensive snow-making system, you know the skiing will always be good. Open December through March the ski resort provides a great place to get students and teachers on snow for an affordable rate. Hidden Valley Snow School programs were designed with the needs of students, teachers and parents in mind by teachers. The Snow School gives more time to beginners who receive up to two-and-ahalf hours of instruction spread between morning and afternoon. This provides a safe, secure and fun learning environment for students with more supervision by professional instructors. All Snow School staff are trained by the Canadian Ski Instructors Alliance (CSIA) or the Canadian Association of Snowboard Instructors (CASI) so you know you are getting top quality instruction. Inclusion is an integral part of our policy and we have CADS (Canadian Association for Disabled Skiing) instructors on hand for any students with physical, cognitive or social difficulties.
There is a fully equipped rental shop and day lodge with plenty of room for bagged lunches or make use of the cafeteria with reasonably priced hot food on the plate. Our comprehensive teachers’ pack gives you a resource to use with readymade consent forms, information, checklists, participant list etc. Everything you need to get your trip up and running whether it is your first time or a seasoned organiser! Tobogganing, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, trail skating and a snow luge are all available close by the resort to enhance your trip and the Parks staff have the equipment you need. Environmental Education Programs are on offer through Alberta Parks and can be combined with your ski trip to add to the learning experience of the students. Accommodation is available in Elkwater or Medicine Hat should you wish to make this a multi-day experience.

Blumenfeld District & Heritage Site The Blumenfeld Church is the original church in the district of Leader, Saskatchewan. The first German settlers came to the district from Romania in 1908; they built the church seven years later, in 1915. The interior of the church is one of the most beautiful in Canada. It has been carefully maintained and includes all the original furniture and fixtures. Behind the church is a grotto made of prairie stones, where members of the Catholic religion gather once a year to enjoy a church service which is called “Pilgrimage.” The shrine near the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, near Blumenfeld, is also in honour of the Sorrowful Mother. In a niche in the grotto close to the church is a replica of the sculpture of the famous Michelangelo of the Blessed Virgin holding the body of her Divine Son after His death – the Pieta. For group tours please call 306-673-2663. THIS PROVINCIAL HERITAGE SITE IS OPEN BY APPOINTMENT.

Tunnels of Moose Jaw At the Tunnels of Moose Jaw, we aim to engage our guests with both facts and fun all rolled into one dynamic presentation. We offer two separate theatrically guided experiences:
• The Passage to Fortune tells the story of the Chinese immigrants’ journey into Canada in the late 1800s. The students learn about the Head Tax, the Chinese Immigration Act and how these brave men helped build the CPR. It deals with their ultimate survival despite racism and hatred they suffered on a daily basis. • The Chicago Connection offers a glimpse into the days of prohibition, bootlegging and gangsters in the 1920s right here in Moose Jaw. Moose Jaw at the time was rife with political corruption and bad behavior by many in power. The students learn about their country’s history and the way things were in the Roaring Twenties. We offer packages to all teachers so their students can learn about Canadian history in a unique and memorable way. It’s a great way to supplement what is being taught in your classrooms.

THE LAST TRUE WEST
T
HE GRAND STORY of the settlement of the West, and the conflict that accompanied it, echoes across the prairies, with tales of the Métis leaders; Louis Riel and Gabriel Dumont; Cree Chiefs Poundmaker and Big Bear; Sam Steele of the NWMP and Major General Frederick Middleton. Travel the Trails of 1885 and experience the events, sites and stories that helped form our country. Begin your quest in Winnipeg, Manitoba, where you can visit the St. Boniface Museum, with its amazing collection of Métis artifacts and stories, as well as the birthplace and gravesite of Louis Riel. Follow the Métis frontier and travel west across the prairies to the South Saskatchewan River. Today, the city of Saskatoon makes a convenient starting point for the rest of your exploration.
Valleys of the Saskatchewan About 70 km north of Saskatoon, experience Métis culture and heritage at Batoche National Historic Site 1 . Learn more about this historic battle by exploring the Government militia trenches, Métis rifle pits, and battlefield. Along with the restored church and rectory, the Visitor Reception Centre has extensive exhibits, audio-visual presentation, and programming to bring the Métis people’s story to life. In the cemetery, a large river stone indicates where Gabriel Dumont is buried overlooking the beautiful riverbank. A short distance south of Batoche, is the Battle of Tourond’s Coulee/ FishCreek National Historic Site, where the first military engagement between the Métis and government forces took place. On the battlefield, view the silhouettes of government militia exchanging fire across Fish Creek with Métis and First Nations sharpshooters. North of Batoche, take the ferry across the river to scenic St. Laurent, an early Métis settlement and home of Our Lady of Lourdes Shrine which hosts an annual religious pilgrimage. Back on Hwy 11, the Duck Lake Regional Interpretive Centre tells the 1885 story from three perspectives: settlers, First Nations, and the Métis. For expansive views of the area, climb the centres 24-metre tower. Explore the town’s colorful murals depicting local history, and visit the First Shots Cairn, where a skirmish between the NWMP and Métis fighters resulted in the first shots of the conflict. To the west, on Hwy 212, Fort Carlton Provincial Park 2 recreates the golden era of the fur trade, but some of its exhibits deal with the NWMP’s hurried evacuation of the post after the battle at Duck Lake, and the resulting destruction of the fort by fire.
46 Saskatchewan School Destinations
Battle River Country Northwest of Saskatoon, at the scenic confluence of the Battle and North Saskatchewan Rivers, the twin communities of North Battleford and Battleford (once the seat of the North West Territorial government) are rich in history. At Fort Battleford National Historic Site 4 , learn about life as a Mountie, and hear the stories of Chief Poundmaker and the settlers during those eventful days. Follow the story by traveling west of the Battlefords to Cut Knife and visit the Chief Poundmaker Historical Centre and the Battle of Poundmaker Hill National Historic Site 3 , on the Poundmaker Cree Nation.
The North West Frontier North of Lloydminster, discover the fascinating story of Chief Big Bear and his clash with government forces. At Frog Lake National Historic Site in Alberta, about an hour from the city, grave markers are a grim reminder of the Frog Lake Massacre. Back in Saskatchewan, Fort Pitt Provincial Historic Park tells of the misunderstanding that resulted in the killing of an NWMP scout by the Cree, and the subsequent departure of the Mounties and the burning of the fort. The story continues at Frenchman Butte National Historic Site, to the east, where Cree rifle pits and the government artillery site are reminders of the difficulties Canadian militia had when they responded to the Frog Lake Massacre by attacking the Cree’s more strategic location. There are many more stories of the 1885 North West Resistance, and its aftermath, told at other sites and museums in Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba: at Humboldt, Sask., the site of the original Humboldt Telegraph Station and military camp; at Fort Edmonton (on their ‘1885 Street’), in the Sir Samuel Steele Collection at the University of Alberta, through exhibits at Fort Calgary and Calgary’s Glenbow Museum, and at the RCMP Heritage Centre in Regina. Visit them and experience the history of the last true west!
