22.01.2022 Calling all budding young scientists! Embarking from August 15 for one month, as part of National Science Week, the Sydney Science Trail invites kids, their adult friends, and teachers alike for a FREE virtual expedition like no other -- exploring everything planet Earth, nature, animals, technology and space. This seismic quest is bubbling over with immersive games, live-stream talks, explosive science shows, and tours from world-class scientists and researchers. Join the Sydney Science Trail at www.sydneysciencetrail.net.au/

22.01.2022 Young children are natural scientists. Foster your 3-6 year old’s curiosity with a #scienceweek event specifically for young minds. https://www.scienceweek.net.au/why-why-why-foster-the-curi/

21.01.2022 Check out this eggcellent density activity! You will need: water, tall glass, teaspoon, table salt, food colouring (two colours), a fresh egg, small jug Full instructions here: https://www.creativescience.com.au//2/07/suspended_egg.pdf

18.01.2022 We have a collection of experiments and activities on the page of our website! Visit https://www.questacon.edu.au//questacon-at-h...ome-activity-s to find all the activities... such as this fantastic, fabulous, FLYING FEATHER experiment! - - MATERIALS: A hollow tube, such as a toilet paper roll, a plastic cup with the bottom cut off, a PVC pipe, or a piece of paper rolled into a tube! A light object, such as a small feather or a piece of tissue/toilet paper. - METHOD - Stand the tube upright over the light object. Hold the tube right at the bottom and tilt it back and forth, so the bottom of the tube is relatively still, and the top of the tube is moving a lot. Keep going until your light object flies! Be patient - getting the hang of this technique can take a bit of practice. ASK YOURSELF: What do you think is causing the feather to fly upwards? What happens if you move the tube slower or faster? What happens if you change how far away the tube is from the feather? Let us know how you go by sharing the results of this experiment with us using the #QuestaconAtHome hashtag! #

10.01.2022 Can a metal spring make a sound effect? You will need a metal Slinky spring and a disposable cup made from paper, plastic or Styrofoam. Method: 1. Hold one end of the spring up high and let the other end hang freely. Wobble the spring and listen to the sound it makes. 2. Hold the high end of the spring against the base of the cup and wobble the spring again. ... Does it make a louder sound? Wobbling the spring causes it to vibrate to make a sound, but the sound is very quiet. Holding the spring against the base of the cup causes the cup and the air inside the cup to vibrate. This makes the sound a lot louder and it can sound like a laser gun sound effect from a movie! See more
