Larapinta Primary School
22 Albrecht Drive, Larapinta, NT 0875, Australia
Students from across the school will engage in a series of outdoor science rotations designed to spark curiosity and inspire a love of garden-related science. Set in cultural garden space, these hands-on activities will encourage exploration, creativity and problem-solving.
The rotations will focus on seeds, science and sunshine. Students may investigate how plants grow, explore what seeds need to survive, and observe living things in the garden environment. STEM-based challenges will invite students to design mini greenhouses, create simple watering systems, or test how different conditions affect plant growth. Sensory and discovery stations will allow younger learners to examine soil, seeds and natural materials, while older students will engage in experiments, data recording and collaborative problem-solving
The learning experiences will be designed to nurture curiosity, build scientific thinking and promote teamwork. By connecting science to the natural world, students will develop an understanding of sustainability, responsibility and the importance of caring for our environment. Through play, inquiry and discovery in the sunshine, students will experience science as something active, meaningful and accessible to all.
