SEVEN SIBLINGS FROM THE FUTURE: Exhibition at MOD.
The year is 2050. In southern Australia there is a plot of land known as Eucalara. Eucalara is already feeling the impact of climate change. Climate refugees started arriving decades ago, invasive species are on the move, and water is an increasingly precious resource. Amongst all this are seven siblings. The siblings have inherited this…
Rocketry 101
The ANU Rocketry will talk about the basic components that allow rockets to fly, and will discuss some of the fundamental scientific concepts, such as propulsion, aerodynamics and thrust. It will end with a Q&A and a Kahoot about rockets and space.
Science in the Club Quiz Night
How many physicists does it take to change a light bulb? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? What happens when you mix beer, scientists and trivia? Find out the answers to these and more at the Science in the Club Quiz Night. To celebrate National Science Week we’ll be hosting a quiz…
Tiny magnets, cell goop and the future of the Universe: Physics in the Cloud
Physics in the Pub has gone virtual! We’ve digitized and uploaded our scientists and they’ll be streaming to you from the cloud, about the complex protein structures in our cells, how tiny magnets can cure cancer and, well, the philosophy of everything. There’ll be songs, poems and quizzes, so have your device ready. Grab yourself…
COOL AERONAUTICS: STEM and Aerospace in the Northern Territory
Have you ever wondered how what you are doing at school applies in the real world? Our guest presenters will give you an insight into how they use physics, biology, chemistry, electronics, mathematics and much more in their everyday working life. Learn from Industry leaders what you need to study to have a career in…
CSIRO National Science Week Challenge
To celebrate National Science Week, we’re challenging all Australians to find out what connects them to the ocean, wherever they live. From taking photos of local waterways to designing and building a water filter, you can explore your connection to the ocean as deeply as you’d like. Head to our National Science Week Challenge website to learn…
Observing with Galileo: How the first telescopic views of the celestial sphere changed the world
From 1609 to 1613 Galileo used his own astronomical telescope of unprecedented precision and power to make an avalanche of astounding new discoveries. This triggered a revolution in the way humanity sees its place in the cosmos. Some of these discoveries are well known like the discovery of the moons of Jupiter, the phases of…
Measuring Earth’s Gravity across the ACT
In this Young Stars session, we will measure gravity across Canberra. We will do this with help from young stars from across the region. How will we do this? Pendulums, lots and lots of pendulums. Suitable for ages 6-12+. Note: Parental supervision is required to avoid hazards related to small parts. This activity is a…
The Young Scientist Research Prizes
To foster and recognise excellence in Victoria’s early career scientists, the Royal Society of Victoria established four prestigious competitive prizes open to Victorian students in their final year of doctoral candidature, in all areas of the Biomedical & Health Sciences, Biological Sciences (Non-human), Earth Sciences and Physical Sciences. Following assessment of applications across the four…
