SOMETHING INCREDIBLE is coming to Vancouver*
|
I have just moved to Vancouver. I have just decided to do science shows and workshops in Vancouver (and more). I am in the process of setting up a new website and choosing a new official business name. It may still be possible to hire me for a show on the island as I do come to visit from time to time. Contact me by email or call me if you would like to book a show. Thanks to all the people and organizations that have hired me over the past twenty-six years. It's been fun and the fire department was only called once. (* both literally and figuratively) |
Check out the epic science video
I post teaching resources on Teachers Pay Teachers (not just science)
If you are interested in teaching resources I created across the subject areas*, head to Teachers Pay Teachers to check out my "store." (*eventually)
I will keep adding resources every week during the summer.
They will be useful to teachers, early childhood educators, out of school care leaders, home learner parents and possibly North Korean dictators.
Feel free to email me suggestions of resources you would like to see. I can be emailed at glennfromx2 (at) gmail.com.

Rube Goldberg Device - Cordova Bay School
Here is something my students did last year related to my passion (science education). They built a Rube Goldberg Device. Rube Goldberg drew comics of "simplified" things.
So my grade three and four students (2013/2014) made a "simplified" bell with about twelve steps. The best part was watching them solve problems, often in ways I had not thought of.
Aaron and I did a double Feature science show at the Brentwood Bay Community Hall (2013)
Glenn Kachmar and Aaron Bannister put on two science shows on Aug. 18 at the Brentwood Bay Community Hall. Admission was free, but many people made a donation. We raised $178 and will make a $90 donation to Peninsula Streams. The event ran from 1:00 to 3:15 and included a bubble show (Aaron), stations to do hands-on science and a Whiz Bang Science Show (Glenn).

Interview on the Zone with Dylan and Jason (FM91.3)I had an interview on The Zone to discuss the Double Feature Science Show. I recorded it with an app called Piezo and trimmed the the extra stuff off either end and exported it as an mp3 file with GarageBand. The interview is to the right. Let me know if the sound clip doesn't work on your computer. But it should.

I am available to do shows in preschools and daycares, I can do workshops for homelearners and am available for tutoring as well. Check out the different buttons below for the various educational services. The "TRY THIS AT HOME!" button is a page with science or art ideas for rainy days. I am planning to do more professional development this year. New workshops have been posted including coding workshops for elementary teachers.
