Simple Science with Beth Deer

By Beth Deer

What was your favourite subject in school? For me it was art or music. I absolutely hated English and science because there was always so much writing involved. 

For this week’s AMI This Week segment, I am joined by Alan Nursell, the CEO of Telus World of Science Edmonton to show me some hands-on science experiments.

When this segment was first proposed, I was really anxious because as I just said, science wasn’t my thing. Once I found out it was physical experiments, I was really excited because I love being able to witness science happening.

Alan was great and did so well on camera. He made the experiments fun and very descriptive so I was able to follow along. Depending on how long we end up filming from home for maybe we can convince my senior producer, Michelle, to let us do something involving fire next time? I’m not joking. I really would like to do some experiments involving some daring things. 

I don’t want to give away too much but tonight's segment involves pencils and Ziploc bags. 

Watch the segment on AMI This Week at 8 p.m. Eastern on AMI-tv.
