Make a Pattern (Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, Teacher, Parent)
We want students to learn how to recognise and make patterns! Patterns are everywhere and have importance in maths, science, arts and culture.
ACTIVITY OUTLINE:
We have created pattern making inspiration videos that can be accessed on demand. The concepts of patterns and symmetry align with the Australian and State curriculums and teacher resources are available here, if you’d like to use this activity in your classroom.
After students have made their own pattern they are welcome to submit it into our competition with an accompanying (50 words or less) statement, for a chance to win an awesome prize pack!
IS THIS A FREE EVENT? Yes
BROUGHT TO YOU BY: Bragg Your Pattern
SPECIAL GUESTS:
Helen Maynard-Casely loves to tell stories about science. She works as Senior Instrument Scientist at the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering, ANSTO, and her research interest centre about the structures of materials relevant to the dwarf planets of our solar system.
Helen’s journey to exploring these icy worlds began with her degree in Planetary Sciences from University College London and was followed by her PhD in high-pressure physics undertaken at the University of Edinburgh. Moving to Australia first to a post-doctoral position at the Australian Synchrotron, she moved to the Australian Centre for Neutron Scattering in 2013 to work on the High Intensity Diffractometer (known as Wombat).
When not working on Wombat, Helen also enjoys promoting crystallography and science to as wide an audience as possible, for example she coordinated the 2014 Crystallography365 project, was the 2019 Australian Institute of Physics ‘Women in Physics’ Lecturer and published her first children’s book (I heart Pluto) in 2020.
