Decode the Universe: Space Signals with Micro:bit
Are you looking for an activity to do with your class or children this National Science Week? Join QSITE Gold Coast as they bring a hands-on workshop aligned to this year’s school theme: DECODING THE UNIVERSE. Use the micro:bit to send and receive simple binary code messages representing space objects (e.g. star, comet, planet). This…
Community Science Corner Launch at Gosnells Library
Join us for a fun-filled morning of science, nature, and community as we officially open the Community Science Corner! Step into the world of Citizen Science – where curious minds of all ages can explore, observe, and discover together. Whether you’re a nature lover, budding scientist, or just looking for a great family morning out,…
MIS Science Week
During Science week our classes will compete in a Magnet Maze Challenge, a hands-on, STEM-based activity. Students will work in small groups to design and build cardboard mazes and use magnets to guide metal balls through the paths, exploring magnetism, force, and motion.
Science Open House
Explore the zoomable universe with an exciting Open House in the school science laboratories.
The world through a Microscope
We will be purchasing microscopes and then looking at things from the world around us. For example, the juniors will collect things from nature and then look at them through the microscope. The seniors will look at and make slides of different things. They will be able to record their findings electronically and describe what…
Drone coding using DroneBlocks at Frankston High School
Get ready for an exciting adventure where YOU take control of a real flying drone! At our science fair, you’ll become a drone pilot and a coder all in one. Using an easy drag-and-drop program called DroneBlocks, you’ll learn how to make your drone fly, turn, hover, and complete amazing missions—just like in real life!…
Library STEM Fair at Repton Public School
Come to the STEM Fair! We will host a science technology engineering and mathematical fair with new books to stimulate our creative thinking and enhance our learning. We will display our ideas through creative presentations in the library for everyone to see.
Owl Pellet Dissection at South West Rocks Pre School
We will be dissecting owl pellets to try to piece together the food chain and learn about Owls’ diet and environment. This will require the children to use tweezers, refer to images to identify bones and think about the environment and how animals stay alive.
Yanchep Beach Primary School Science Fair
Our students will spend the next few weeks decoding the universe and practicing asking questions and being curious. As part of this amazing unit of work they will work as scientists using their science inquiry skills to answer questions they have posed. They are even decoding some of the mysteries we as adults still ask…
