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.
Mt Nardi Rainforest Science Big Day Out
The Mt Nardi Rainforest Science Big Day Out will see all Tuntable Falls students and staff up at Mt Nardi for a day with researchers, practising ecologists, NPWS staff, Birdlife representatives and cultural educators.
National Science Week School Wide Project – Let it Grow
We aim to deliver a whole-school project aligned with the 2026 theme, Seeds of Science: Nurturing Knowledge for All. Each class will receive materials to create and grow a collection of grass head potted plants. Through this hands-on investigation, students will plant seeds, provide water and sunlight, and observe growth over a 14-day period. They…
Agricultural Education Hall at the Royal Queensland Show (Ekka)
Celebrate science in action in the Agricultural Education Hall at the Royal Queensland Show (Ekka). Explore hands-on exhibits, learn about the science behind farming and food production, and discover how technology is shaping the future of agriculture. It’s a great way for kids and families to connect science with the real world – right in…
Remarkable Adaptations Show at Nambucca Valley Library
Meet dingoes and reptiles up close at Nambucca Valley Library. The Wildlife Twins will present a show in our Nambucca Valley Library courtyard (or small hall if raining) featuring reptiles and dingoes. The show will highlight the remarkable adaptations these animals have to flourish in Australia’s challenging environments. It will inspire the audience to engage…
Little Scientists Educator Workshop – Deepen children’s critical thinking and metacognition through STEM
Early childhood educators: Learn how to deepen children’s critical thinking and metacognition through STEM. While many educators already feel confident identifying children’s STEM-related interests and supporting child-led exploration, in this special online workshop you’ll learn to move beyond engagement to strengthen children’s critical thinking and deepen their relationship with what they are learning with carefully…
