Stimulate interest in science and provide a valuable experience for your students.

Science on the GO! offers a variety of on and off campus experiences.

Science shows at your school featuring dynamic and highly engaging science experiments - an ideal way to introduce a new unit or consolidate student learning.   Demonstrations can be tailored to suit class studies/schedules etc.  Science workshops to engage hands-on learning, or on campus lab experiences to complement Yr 10/11 chemistry studies.

Or bring the STEM class on campus for a day of engaging STEM related activities for an experience not be forgotten!

Science on the GO! Experiences

  • Duration: 60 minutes
  • Year level: 4 to 8
  • Numbers: 120 students maximum
  • Venue: The classroom or school hall
