It might just be weapons-grade millennial nostalgia, but the internet really did seem better when all we needed was a profile song, an aggressively customised wallpaper, and a place to post cryptic song lyrics after a breakup. No matter how bad your day was, you still had a friend and that friend was Tom from…
Join us for Grow It and Know, a whole-school National Science Week investigation where students become scientists and explore this fascinating question: How does the colour of LED light affect the height growth of snow pea seedlings? Students will design a fair test, develop hypotheses, collect and analyse data, and draw conclusions based on evidence. Using…
The Art of Discovery is a week‑long art showcase celebrating the creativity, complexity, and humanity behind scientific research. This exhibition invites students, researchers and citizen scientists to share their work not just as data, but as stories. Revealing both the beauty of discovery and the reality of life in the lab. Works on display will…
Seeds, Streams & Science – The Trent Creek Living Lab invites students to explore how ecosystems work and how science grows from curiosity and inquiry, using Trentham’s local waterway (Trent Creek) as a hands-on learning environment. Students in Years 3–6 will take part in a full-day field experience with teachers, families and local Landcare volunteers….
Founded in 2024 by a group of enterprising Year 9 students, the Parkdale Science Fair brings together curious minds from Years 5 to 12 and local primary schools to celebrate hands‑on STEM. After attracting hundreds of entries across six feeder schools, Parkdale students and staff in 2025, the Fair returns in 2026 bigger and bolder…
Our Years 7 to 9 STEM Academy students will complete a Smart Greenhouse STEM project, in which they will grow seeds of their choice—such as barley, wheat, or corn—using the Smart Greenhouse kit. Throughout National Science Week, they will monitor light and soil moisture conditions using Micro:bits. Students will work collaboratively while applying critical and…
This event will be two lunch time sessions. The first will be during our regular science club meeting which will involve science-themed escape rooms and crystal growing activities. The second is a science show, with the main demonstration being uses of liquid nitrogen (e.g. ice cream making, breaking small objects, interactions with water).
This National Science Week, join UNE Discovery Voyager and UNE Botany academics as we explore the processes that sustain plant life on Earth, to appreciate the wonders of science. We will explore the humble seed as a key to unlock the captivating world of plant life, bridging connections between soil science, ecosystems, art, and biology….
ExBEERimental Science throws down the ultimate brewing challenge during National Science Week with The Brewers Gauntlet. Four Tasmanian breweries will push brewing to the limits, using science and creativity to experiment with ingredients, processes, and techniques that take brewing to the next level. Through guided tastings and lively conversations with brewers and scientists, discover the…
Inspiration in the making, our new science room mural. Created by a local First Nations artist and supported by a National Science Week grant we will be in the process of creating the mural and inspiring student design ideas in conjunction with our First Nations artist. The mural will showcase the knowledge and experience of…
