During National Science Week, all Year 4 students and Middle School Agricultural Science students from Tatachilla Lutheran College will be adding 100 rare plants to our EcoClassroom Sanctuary. The EcoSanctuary is currently home the Brush-Tailed Bettong, a critically endangered marsupial, and the Long-Nosed Potoroo which is near threated. Tatachilla wishes to continue its conservation efforts…

Little Explorers Science Workshops
Little Explorers Science workshops will involve our small but mighty learners exploring the different investigative skills through the use of science. Our workshops will run for a full week, giving each child the opportunity to participate. The week will include multiple engaging and hand-on activities that make the children hypothesis and discover their answers through…
In my Science Era
Having trouble spelling cell organelles? Just SHAKE IT OFF. This activity combines Science and popular culture by using the current trend of creating worded friendship bracelets (from the Taylor Swift ERA’s Tour) of the organelles found in cells. Any and all students are welcome to participate in this activity that reinforces the structure of a…
St Kevin’s Design Sprint
Peer Support groups will work on a design sprint for an endangered Australian animal using various materials.
Oakbank School Science Excursion
All students from reception to year 6 will attend an excursion to the SA museum and Botanic Gardens. Students will investigate plant life and explore the museum and how history can be linked to science and the biology and evolution of living things.
Altona Skipper Butterfly Stepping Stone Survival Project
The main objective of the Altona Skipper Butterfly Stepping Stone Survival Project (ASBSSSP) is to create a sustainable habitat for this butterfly in the Altona College grounds which lies between the two main habitats of this butterfly, Cherry Lake in Altona, and Truganina Swamp. We aim to highlight the vulnerability of this species and advocate…
Science Spectacular – A day of discovery and innovation
Students from K-6 will be grouped together to participate in four hands-on rotational activities: Building Wind Turbines: Learn about renewable energy by constructing mini wind turbines. Leaf Collections and Rubbings: Collect and create rubbings of various leaves while exploring plant identification. Planting Seedlings: Plant and nurture seedlings, learning about plant growth and the environment. Creating…
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…
The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary is an interactive display that includes 3D design and printing, real animal enclosures and puppetry to teach our junior students about the plight of the endangered animals in the ACT and around Australia.
