Culburra Wind-Powered Car Showcase
Students at Culburra Public School have been investigating renewable energy and the design thinking process by designing a wind-powered car using recycled materials and LEGO. Their original brief was to build a lightweight car that travels on wheels at least three metres using only the power of wind. Class groups have recorded the results of…
Young Tassie Scientists at Taroona Primary School
This year’s Young Tassie Scientists are University of Tasmania scientists who are keen to share their work through interactive talks and hands-on activities in Tasmanian schools and communities during National Science Week. Some of the Young Tassie Scientists on the Southern road trip are: Angus Olding (He/him), Chemist – Chemistry Chelsea Long (She/Her), Antarctic scientist – Antarctica: Science & Policy …
Little Learners – Storytime science
Aimed at 3-6-year-olds, Little Learners: Storytime Science is a new hands-on science and literacy program that combines book readings with hands-on STEM activities. Exploring big concepts, our museum facilitators will guide children on an interactive journey. Allowing them to take part in experiments and crafts that relate to the characters or themes in the book. For example,…
National Science Week at Seymour and District Community House
Children have the opportunity to immerse themselves in all that is science. Over three days children will be encouraged to explore different themes of science through interactive play experiences. ‘Our World’, ‘Basics of Math’, and ‘Sensory Play’ will provide opportunities for learning, hypothesizing and begin to understand how science is all around us.
Robotics and Movement
At Mountain District Learning Centre, we will be running an event for 30 young people. These young people will first learn about how solar energy works, how batteries operate, and the ways that a signal can then convert the energy into movement. The young people will then be required to open their robotics kit and…
Micro:Macro – Models of insight and inspiration
Micro:Macro explores the role of models in understanding and exploring our world. Featuring models from science, mathematics, medicine, engineering, art, and architecture. Models shift perceptions and change understanding. Through altering scale, the miniature becomes visible, massive, and understandable. Single cells are expanded thousands of times, insects hundreds, and a whole suburb shrinks to a tabletop. …
What Do Theoretical Physicists Do?
Physics is important because of its intellectual depth and beauty. Understanding physics leads to new technologies that can greatly enhance our lives. But how does physics work and what is it like to be a physicist? Join Professor Susan Coppersmith, Head of the School of Physics at UNSW and Fellow of the Australian Academy of…
