In January 2018, New Zealand became one of only eleven countries that have successfully built and launched a rocket capable of sending satellites into space. This interview with Rocket Lab Avionics Manager Naomi Altman explains the science and technology behind that incredible achievement.

This article takes a playful, creative approach to pure mathematics, guiding readers through craft activities that let them explore the properties of Möbius strips and mathematical knots.

The living things in a community interact with each other.

Why not conduct a scientific survey of the crab population on your local shoreline and develop your student's investigative attitudes.

On average, a volcanic eruption occurs somewhere on Earth each week! Volcanic eruptions are often seen as devastating events, but they are also instrumental in providing rich fertile soils and mineral deposits.

Humans have always looked with wonder at the movement of celestial bodies in the sky. Investigate movement, size and scale by creating 3D models of the solar system.

Strong earthquakes can affect millions of lives by causing buildings to collapse, destroying roadways, and affecting basic necessities such as water supply. But did you know that the majority of earthquakes are barely noticed?

Investigate energy, how it is created and how it is transferred and transformed and foil the evil plans of Professor Pitch Black and her sidekick Short Circuit!

A low pulse rate and fast recovery time after exercise can be indicators of good physical fitness. This investigation encourages students to develop their investigative skills by thinking carefully about the quality of the data they collect.
