Human Anatomy

Visit the anatomy lab and find out what makes our bodies tick! Examine real human bones, brains, and other systemic organs. Learn how it all fits together using our state-of-the-art digital human dissection technology: the Anatomage™ table.

life under the microscope

With the help of our microscopes, students learn about the way live cells interact and multiply. We’ll guide them through a series of activities to teach them what’s happening beyond the scope of the naked eye.

 

chemistry in action

Give your students a chance to explore a wide variety of chemistry topics in one interactive session, from acids and bases to the difference between endo- and exothermic reactions.

Students told us:

"I feel the student interactions was the most enjoyable part because I got to talk with students that went to SFU and it made me understand more about the university and what I want to pursue in." (Data Discovery Day for High School students, November 2023)

"My favourite part was watching the demos as the chemical reactions were explained in an understandable and interactive way." (Chemistry Presentation)

"The most enjoyable part of the activity was observing how the universal indicator reacted with different substances. The presenters/guides were very well-versed and funny, and watching the liquid change colour was interesting." (Chemistry Presentation)

"When we were learning physics I really liked the part when we were learning about electricity because we did many fun experiments that were interesting and I also learned a lot." (Physics Presentation)
