Hone in on your engineering skills whilst having a lot of fun. By observing gravity and friction devise mechanisms and technical actions to solve the problem of making the marble or vehicle follow a particular track. Does it need more speed? How could you make the object turn in a different direction? What kinds of angles…

Innovation Fueled Lunch Breaks
This year for National Science Week our senior students and staff will run engaging and age-appropriate innovative STEM activities with our R-9 students across two 45-minute lunch breaks. Stations will be set up in our biology lab and will showcase current innovation in the areas of, alternative energy and fuel cells, food sources, connecting our…
Scientist in Residence – Cleaning up our waterways
During Term 1 and 2, our Kindy students have been learning about the problems caused by polluted water, especially regarding the impact that it has on animals in the water, such as turtles and fish. They have been very interested in activities that allow them to clean up dirty or contaminated water sources. These activities have included…
ExBEERimental Science
ExBEERimental Science is a beer-tasting, science-sipping event connecting the public with the amazing science behind the brews they love! This year, three Australian breweries will craft both a control and an experimental beer. These beers will be exactly the same except for one experimental difference, which will highlight the incredible sensory shifts that science can…
‘Pour’ Intelligence: Building a Teachable Machine for Measuring Liquids
Measuring liquids can be a mL-ticulous task, it’s always like “Is it a mL bit more or a mL bit less”. While flow meters and level sensors are commonly used in STEM industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and water treatment they may be a ‘pour’ decision. Make room… for teachable machines, a current application of AI, which…
Crystal-A-Con
Everyone loves crystals. From snowflakes to diamonds to sugar, we see crystals everyday and we love them for being beautiful, shiny and symmetrical. Crystals are extra special to scientists because they are made up of repeating patterns of atoms and molecules. These patterns allow scientists to use a special technique called ‘crystallography’ to work out…
Jingili Science Expo and Science Fair Extravaganza
Jingili’s Annual Science Expo, 2 August Jingili Primary School hosts the annual Science Expo where ‘Real Life Scientist’ come to our school to provoke thinking and connect our students to how science work. The aim of this event is to engage the children, from preschool to year six, with a variety of science concepts and…
