New in 2012
Students in Chemistry 11 and 12 can now be a part of the Amusement Park Physics program. Student curriculum sheets match the prescribed learning outcomes by having the students look at the chemistry of the food served at Playland. Students can perform both qualitative and quantitative chemical tests, calculate molarity, determine percent composition and other appropriate experiments.

Playland’s Amusement Park Science program is an enrichment experience designed to enhance your student’s knowledge and understanding of the Science, Physics and Biology they learn in the classroom by demonstrating how these concepts apply to the world around them. Since 1988, over 100,000 students from BC have experienced Science of Fun and Amusement Park Physics at Playland. Students can learn about acceleration on the Roller Coaster and G-force on the Hellevator. A curriculum guide is provided with grade appropriate experiments developed by Jim Wiese, author of Amusement Park Science, and hosted by Playland
