Inside the Dino Prep Lab

Do you what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur? Have you ever wondered what kinds of dinosaurs are found in Australia? Discover the answers to these questions and why difference places have different fossils. Join the Australian Age of Dinosaurs for this look ‘Inside a Dinosaur Fossil Prep Lab. Step back in time this Earth Science Week.

Ocean Plastics

Join the education team at the Australian National Maritime Museum to learn about how plastic waste is affecting marine life and habitats. Students will also go on a virtual visit to our wharf to discover how innovative technology like the Sea Bin can help clean up the ocean and learn about some of the simple things we can all do to be more sustainable.

Dynamic Earth

Have you ever wondered what lies deep within the Earth? Do you know what makes the plates move and why there are volcano. Dynamic Earth explores earth forming processes and answers all these questions and more. Students will look at real specimens and see cool experiments to learn about plate tectonics, the earths layers and volcanoes.

Online PD for Science in the Classroom

Discover how to run simple science experiments in the primary classroom using easy to get materials. Teacher Online PD for Science in the Classroom Learn how to identify variables in a variety of hands-on simple experiments that you can use straight away in your classroom. You will actively participate in hands-on experiments in real-time with us, this is not a PowerPoint presentation or a series of videos.

During this session, your teachers will learn about how to turn materials available in the local supermarket into engaging and worthwhile classroom experiments. These experiments have been classroom-tested and have shown to be highly effective in increasing student understanding. All materials presented have direct syllabus links to both the ACARA and NSW K to 10 Science Syllabus.
