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…

‘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…
NOCTURNA Dark Sky Retreat
Welcome to NOCTURNA, a celebration of the fragile beauty of the cosmos — embracing our long winter nights and taking the time to gaze at our still-pristine dark skies, a precious natural resource that is under threat from light pollution. The increasingly widespread use of artificial light outdoors not only impairs our view of the…
Creating Coral Reefs
Every class at Northlakes PS will begin National Science Week investigating coral reefs and the problem of coral bleaching and loss. They will learn about the recent technologies that are being implemented to conserve and restore coral reefs, including 3D printing. On one day in the middle of the week, every student will participate in…
