Using senses such as sight, touch and taste, your brain is capable of making amazing calculations that let us respond to the world around us. Teach students more about this with our fun brain activities and lesson plan.

Climate is the average weather of a given area over a long period of time. This includes seasonal temperatures, rain, sunshine, and large weather events such as storms.

Siali is selected to trial a new augmented reality device called SquareEye. While the trial starts off fun, he slowly starts to notice that SquareEye is affecting his experiences in ways he doesn’t necessarily consent to. This story, set in the not-so-distant future, explores how digital technologies can alter our experiences without us knowing.

Light is an integral part of our sense of sight. The physical phenomena of light and of how it travels form patterns that we interpret as sight and colour. These provide excellent opportunities for students to investigate the sources and nature of light.

Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted. In this unit, conduct investigations that explore these ideas and discover the amazing behaviour of light for yourself.

Light and sound are all around us. What produces light and sound? Can you feel sound? Does sound travel through things? Do we need light to see? Are two eyes better than one? Let’s use our senses to explore light and sound.

Year 1-8 resource including English, Mathematics and Science for learning about safe road use and citizenship.

Because light is so easily observable, we can readily investigate its sources and patterns (including reflection and absorption) and consider how we receive and process the sensory information of light and colour.

Join Nanogirl as she experiments and investigates her way through the science of light, eyeballs, cameras and optical illusions!

Today let’s explore stillness. I want you to find a place outside in your garden. It’s good if you can see a dripping tap, pond, stream, or somewhere damp. You will want to see an open area, and perhaps be slightly undercover – you could sit up against a tree ...feeling comfortable!
