The Great Science Circuit at St Brigid's Primary School

  • - (AEST)
  • St Brigid's Primary School
    St Brigid's Primary School, Raymond Terrace, NSW 2324, Australia

Get ready for a day of wonder, curiosity, and hands-on discovery! The Great Science Circuit invites students to step into the world of science as they move through a series of exciting activity stations. Each stop along the way offers a new challenge to explore, experiment, and think like a scientist. From bubbling reactions to creative engineering tasks, students will collaborate, question, and uncover the magic behind how our world works.

This is more than just a science day—it’s an adventure where every rotation brings a new opportunity to explore, discover, and be inspired!

  • Seed Dissection & Microscopy Station: 
    Students examine different seeds using magnifying glasses and digital microscopes to observe seed structure, compare varieties and discuss how plants grow. 
  • Planting & Germination Station: 
    Each student plants their own seed in a biodegradable pot. They learn about what plants need to grow and predict germination outcomes. 
  • Seed “Engineering” Challenge: 
    Students investigate how seeds travel in nature. They design and test their own “flying” or “floating” seed models inspired by dandelions, helicopters and waterfloating seeds. 
  • Crystals: Growth, change and processes: 
    Crystal growing is fundamentally about watching something grow over time, just like a seed. Students will compare living growth with nonliving growth, reinforcing scientific understanding of systems. 
  • Scientific Storytelling Station: 
    Using picture books, students learn how scientific ideas often begin with observation and curiosity, reinforcing the theme of small ideas growing into big discoveries. 
  • First Nations Station 

Students will look at natural items from local Country, Indigenous pattern examples and artworks and seasonal cycles
