Lesson plans and videos for your classroom

Introduce students to the nature of light by exploring the different ways light interacts with matter.

Light

Investigate common misconceptions about heat and provide opportunities to correct and build upon prior understandings.

Heat Transfer

Use crystals to teach about the chemistry of solids, liquids, dissolving, mixtures, properties, and reversible changes.

Crystals

Students will experience how ice cream was made in the past and explore how to manipulate temperatures.

Ice Cream

Prove the presence of air, then extend learning to meet the curriculum needs of the different year levels

Air is all around us

Oobleck is a well-known, easy-to-source activity that is always happily received by students.

Peculiar matter

Promote and maintain good health and wellbeing, and discover why we need to do so, from the perspective of poo.

Poo

In this hand hygiene-based activity, students compare the effectiveness of soap and hand sanitisers.

Soap or Hand Sanitiser

Help students understand how sound, as a form of energy, is sensed by our bodies and how it travels as vibrations in the air and other different materials.

Sound Vibrations

This activity links Earth’s weather and water cycle, the importance of freshwater to living things, and the basic chemistry concept of states of matter.

Water Cycle

This project was made possible through funding from The Invergowrie Foundation in collaboration with Swinburne University.
