Lights, chemistry, action!
From lasers to microplastic, public health to solar panels, chemistry connects physics, maths, biology and medicine. Explore the Polyzos Laboratory, Australian Laboratory for Emerging Contaminants and the Ultrafast and Microspectroscopy Laboratories (UML) where researchers are investigating and designing molecules, reactions, and materials to make our world safer, smarter, and more sustainable. Recommended for ages 16+.
How antimicrobial resistance in animals impacts public health
Over-use and misuse of antibiotics, antivirals and antifungals is accelerating the evolution of resistance to these drugs in microbes, creating dangerous “superbugs” – including some that can pass between animals and people. How can we help vets, doctors, and other healthcare professionals prevent antimicrobial resistance (AMR), avoid cross-species infection, and save lives? To find out,…
Science Fair – Moranbah State High School
Welcome to our exciting Science Fair, where science jumps off the page and into your hands! This event is all about exploring, discovering, and having loads of fun with science. You’ll visit a range of interactive stations where you get to experiment, build, and test things for yourself. Take a closer look at tiny things…
2025 Marie Curie Lectures: Quantum century – Unlocking the universe’s secrets and shaping our future with Dr Danielle Holmes
100 years ago, quantum physics was born to explain curious behaviour of tiny things. Since then, it has become our most powerful tool that humans possess, not just for increasing our understanding of the world, but for shaping its future. It has unlocked secrets of our universe, such as why stars shine and how migratory…
Lunch Time Food, Fire and Fear!
Centralian Middle School will celebrate National Science Week by conducting fun experiments for students during lunch time. We will make fireproof paper, rainbow lemonade, large-scale elephant toothpaste, test physics with a bowling ball to the face and have a go at eating insects. On Monday, students will make pictures on paper and then soak it…
Science Fair – Moranbah State High School
At the science fair, you will move through different activity stations where you can try experiments yourself. First, at the Microscope Station, you’ll look at tiny things like plant cells, crystals, or fabric fibers through a microscope to see details you can’t see with your eyes alone. Next, at the Spinning Colour Wheel station, you’ll…
