National Science Week 2026: Blue Seeds of Hope Our students will explore the “invisible” heroes of our oceans: seagrass and seaweed forests. Guided by the theme “Seeds of Science: Nurturing knowledge for all,” students will investigate how marine plants act as climate change warriors through engineering and chemical challenges. This whole school program draws from groundbreaking (UWA) research, which…

Mirniyan Primary School Science Fair 2026 Growing Science Beyond the Classroom
Get ready to grow, discover and explore during National Science Week at Mirniyan Primary School! This year, our students will become real scientists as we transform part of our school into a living outdoor laboratory. Inspired by the 2026 theme “Seeds of Science: Nurturing Knowledge for All,” students will investigate how plants grow, how ecosystems…
Sizzling Science Sessions at Dalmain Primary School
Science Week at Halidon will be celebrated by students participating in some Sizzling Science Sessions. Students from pre-primary to year 6 will spend the day rotating around different hands-on, engaging science activities designed to get kids excited about science. Students will find out how holograms work, consider how they can help leave less of a…
Grand Farm Fiesta
Sweet Valley Baby Animals Mobile Farm Experience is bringing the joy of the farm to Margaret Jurd College. Their traveling animal sessions go beyond simple entertainment. With calm, hands-on encounters, the animals foster connection, ignite curiosity, and bring joy with every person they meet. Students will be able to interact with up to 30…
Luminescence – Discovery of a Glowing World
What will you see when the lights go out? On special nights of the year in the oceans and the forests of our South Coast home, we can stumble across glittering scenes of bioluminescence; a clump of ghost mushrooms inhabiting a dead tree stump, fireflies dancing, or we can swim in Jervis Bay with the…
Seeding Science in the Red Centre – Ikuntji Kuula Annual Science Camp
Haasts Bluff School have invited neighbouring remote Aboriginal schools in the same Luritja language group to a “Science Camp”. This will involve students working collaboratively to engage in hands-on, practical science activities, which will utilise ideas from the Two-Way Science book (CSIRO), especially Unit 3: What do plants need to grow? and the ASTA resource…
Forces that Shape the Earth Surface
In Term 3, our science focus will centre on the concept that forces shape the Earth’s surface through an engaging, hands-on investigation. Students will design and construct mini landscapes using soil, sand, and natural materials, then predict how environmental forces such as wind and water will impact these landscapes. Through guided experimentation, students will simulate…
Darwin High School – Earth and environmental field study
This proposal introduces a unique, one night field experience designed specifically for Science Week, enabling Year 10 Earth and Environmental Science students to investigate real-world water systems within Litchfield National Park. Students will engage in hands-on fieldwork, collecting and analysing data to assess water quality and explore the environmental factors that influence natural water sources….
Wildflower Nature Bathing Walk
Join a small group guided walk, spotting wildflowers and practicing nature bathing, through the endangered coastal wallum heathland at Mooloolah River National Park. This walk is for people wishing to spend time with nature and learn from, with, in and about the native ecosystems, accompanied by a guide and small group of nature lovers. It’s…
Science Week at Taylor Primary
Taylor Primary are going to be in their buddy classes and creating seed bombs! These are balls of soil and clay packed with native seeds. We are going to make the seed bombs then disperse them throughout the school and community. Later we will watch as they grow and see which environment they prefer.
