Faculty of Science

Department of chemistry & chemical biology, high school tours, tour overview:.

Our tours are designed for high school students interested in the study of chemistry, chemical biology, and sustainable chemistry. Led by graduate students in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, tours usually last up to 150 minutes and consist of:

• A 15 minute pre-lab talk by the experiment leads;
• A 90 minute “hands on” laboratory experiment (See short descriptions of available experiments below.)
• An additional 45 minutes to complete associated experiment worksheet

To provide a safe educational environment for students, fees are collected to offset the expenses associated with employing student lab supervisors.

Costs range from $100-$450 (plus HST) depending on your class size. An accurate quote will be provided once we receive your application form.

An official invoice will be issued and is payable within 30 days via EFT, wire, online payment, or cheque.

Tour Application:

In-Person Laboratory Tour Application

Please allow up to 72 business hours for a response. Please contact Tanja Petrovic if you do not receive a response.

Experiment Descriptions:

Copper Cycles : In this experiment, students will start with elemental copper and will synthesize several copper compounds and finally recover the original elemental copper. Comparison of the final weight of copper obtained with the starting weight of copper will provide participants with a percent recovery yield. This experiment will introduce participants to performing simple chemical reactions. They will also learn basic laboratory skills and how to write observations.

If you require any further information, please contact Tanja Petrovic (Academic Department Manager) at [email protected]

McMaster Campus Tours

All other campus tours must be booked independently from the Chemistry lab tour.

Department of kinesiology, high school tours, tour overview:.

Our tours are designed for high school students interested in related areas of study such as physical education, health and wellness and health care (eg, 12 U Exercise Science, Biology, Physical Education/Fitness, Health and Wellness courses). Tours usually last up to 120 minutes (2 hours). They introduce students to the commonly used tests of human performance and body composition. Led by graduate students in the Department of Kinesiology, they consist of:

• A 15 minute PowerPoint introduction and overview of the scientific rationale for commonly used tests of human physical performance and body composition;
• A 90 minute “hands on” laboratory demonstration of a maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) test, Wingate tests and body composition tests using state-of-the-art scientific testing equipment. (See short descriptions of these tests below.)
• A 15 minute summary and question and answer period designed to allow students to learn more about the Kinesiology program.

ALL visitors must comply with all COVID-19 protocols, including being fully vaccinated (no exceptions), wearing a mask, keeping distance whenever possible ( Future Students – Visit ).

Use the link below for information on safety protocols for visits.

Tour Cost (Revised November 2021):

Payment can be made by cheque (payable to McMaster University) at the time of the tour or by major credit card

Note: For class sizes over 30 students, two tours need to be booked. Please complete another registration form

Tour Application:

In-Person Laboratory Tour Application

Test Descriptions

VO2max Test: Determines the maximal amount of oxygen that can be utilized by the body, and is considered the “gold standard” measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. It is the most commonly used test of performance for athletes who compete in endurance sports (eg, cycling and running). The test involves exercising at progressively higher workloads on a stationary cycle or treadmill while breath samples are collected through a mouthpiece.

Wingate Test: Determines maximal power output during a 30 second “all out” sprint on a specialized cycle ergometer. The Wingate Test is extremely demanding and maximally stresses the body’s aerobic and anaerobic energy systems. It is the most commonly used test of performance for athletes who compete in strength and power sports, or those who perform short repeated bursts of activity (eg, hockey, rugby, soccer).

Body Composition Test. Measures a person’s body mass, using a very accurate electronic scale, and body volume, which is determined while sitting inside the BOD POD chamber. The BOD POD provides information on fat and fat-free mass, resting metabolic rate, and an estimate of a person’s daily energy (calorie) requirement.

McMaster Campus Tours

Campus tours must be booked independently from the Kinesiology lab tour.
