During Term 1 and 2, our Kindy students have been learning about the problems caused by polluted water, especially regarding the impact that it has on animals in the water, such as turtles and fish. They have been very interested in activities that allow them to clean up dirty or contaminated water sources. These activities have included…

ExBEERimental Science
ExBEERimental Science is a beer-tasting, science-sipping event connecting the public with the amazing science behind the brews they love! This year, three Australian breweries will craft both a control and an experimental beer. These beers will be exactly the same except for one experimental difference, which will highlight the incredible sensory shifts that science can…
‘Pour’ Intelligence: Building a Teachable Machine for Measuring Liquids
Measuring liquids can be a mL-ticulous task, it’s always like “Is it a mL bit more or a mL bit less”. While flow meters and level sensors are commonly used in STEM industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment they may be a ‘pour’ decision. Make room… for teachable machines, a current application of AI, which…
Crystal-A-Con
Everyone loves crystals. From snowflakes to diamonds to sugar, we see crystals everyday and we love them for being beautiful, shiny and symmetrical. Crystals are extra special to scientists because they are made up of repeating patterns of atoms and molecules. These patterns allow scientists to use a special technique called ‘crystallography’ to work out…

Seville Primary School Experiment Expo
Students will research, then choose their favourite fun experiment to test, then showcase to our junior students and families. The offered experiments may include (but choices will be student led with a focus safety) colour experiments such as marbling with milk and food dyes/ melting Smarties in milk, capillary action colour moving. Water/oil experiments such…
Creating Coral Reefs
Every class at Northlakes PS will begin National Science Week investigating coral reefs and the problem of coral bleaching and loss. They will learn about the recent technologies that are being implemented to conserve and restore coral reefs, including 3D printing. On one day in the middle of the week, every student will participate in…
