Throughout National Science Week students will participate in a variety of activities relating to glass including investigating spinifex resin. Students will create posters and interactive displays of their learning, as well as making a short movie. At the end of the week students will invite their families to come to school for a community sharing…

Combining Western and Indigenous Science to Help Us Undertake Responsible Caring of the Land
The objective of the Great Southern Regional TAFE STEM day is to excite students from rural backgrounds about the extraordinary and unique biodiversity of southwestern WA. We want to ‘plant the seed’ to encourage students to continue to seek knowledge about the unique ecology of their local landscapes. We hope they will recognise the importance…
Scientists Assemble – The science of superheroes from screen to laboratory
Science of science fiction matters; more people will be exposed to physics and science concepts in movies than in classrooms, so it’s important that Hollywood gets it right. As we’ll see, science accuracy doesn’t take the fun out of the movie, and in fact, the best movies in terms of physics are often the best…
HMRI’s Poo Palace
The Poo Palace is a giant inflatable with tunnels and slides that re-creates the human digestive system. Children and adults will be able to experience the journey food takes along the digestive tract. The Poo Palace journey starts with children entering a ‘giant mouth’. Next they slide through a tunnel representing the oesophagus and into…

That would need an image too (landscape orientation). Geoff Crane, Manager, National Science Week Cancer Council NT(CCNT) provides support, prevention education and advocacy for…
THINK SCIENCE! at Old Gippstown
