National Science Week – Doppler Rockets
The Doppler Rocket combines the elements of a toy with an audio Doppler shift to create an educational experience students won’t forget. The Doppler Rocket emits a true, sinusoidal sound waveform at a constant frequency of approximately 620 Hz. The circuit and speaker are housed in skinned foam that protects the unit during normal impacts….
Super Science Showcase
Selected students from Years 4, 5 and 6 have researched, planned and tested some exciting experiments to showcase to the whole school community for Science Week. Our Super Science Showcase will run for one whole day in the school hall with parent and student time slots throughout the day. There are a range of experiments…

Students are encouraged to join us after school for 2 hours of science fun and exploration.
Super Science Showcase
Scientists wonder how something happens every day. It is time to share your thoughts and investigate how contact and non-contact forces, including push and pull, affect the behaviour of objects. You will be encouraged to question and explore experiments while investigating some of the different types of forces. Visit our showcase and actively participate in…
Engineering with Scitech in the city
Want to be a part of engineering experiments during National Science Week? Engineers Australia is collaborating with Scitech to run activities in the Allendale Square lobby from Monday. See if your aeronautical skills “take off or tank” at the Laminar Flow Table and if your structural design skills “stack up or down” at the…
