25.01.2022 What a fantastic field day with the curious, engaged and intelligent Year 11s from Baldivis Secondary College! There is nothing like learning and reinforcing your great work in the field. These wonderful learning opportunities are made possible by our supporters - https://ausearthed.com.au/wa/supporters/

25.01.2022 All set up for the #WIMWASummit. Will we see you there?

24.01.2022 Weve spent the last two mornings working with the Year 5 and 6 students at Langford Islamic College. The curious Year 5s carried out some chemical testing of rocks to determine if they contained lime. The Year 6 students added to their awesome knowledge of volcanoes and examined the viscosity of some substances modelling lava. #PALMS thanks to Santos: Proudly Australian

23.01.2022 We are looking forward to hearing from Heidi and sharing our STEM activities and resources at this conference. Will you be there?

22.01.2022 Looking forward to sharing our resources at the #wastaa conference 2020. #WASP thanks to Woodside Energy

22.01.2022 We had the great pleasure of exploring soils with students from Hillcrest Primary School today.

21.01.2022 We see representations of exponential data in lots of circumstances. In the reporting of earthquakes and even in COVID-19 updates, but how do we help students understand this tricky concept? https://ausearthed.blogspot.com/2020//exponential-data.html #WASP thanks to Woodside Energy

21.01.2022 Following a virtual Summit with students from Nagle College, Pinjarra SHS, Duncraig SHS, Collie DHS, Guildford Grammar and Kent Street SHS it is great to catch up with wonderful contacts and students moving on to big things! (@kentstreetshs look who we bumped into!)

20.01.2022 The dedicated teachers of the Peron North Science Network spent some time after school yesterday exploring the many fun, hands-on activities that the PALMS Program offers. This active network of primary science teachers from the Rockingham area left armed with lots of ideas and resources to help them teach Earth & Space Science. Look out for some more teacher professional development sessions coming soon! #PALMS thanks to Santos: Proudly Australian

20.01.2022 We are looking forward to this great event on Friday!

19.01.2022 We started the week with a visit to the lovely students at Mosman Park Primary School. Students have been studying earth science recently and learned more about topics such as safety in mining, fossils, how rocks can help farmers, the light from the Sun that can change beads and volcanoes all through fun, hands-on activities. Thanks to our supporters for helping us spread our love of earth science #earthsciencerocks

18.01.2022 What a delight to work with the next generation of teachers again! Once again, everyone really engaged with the #WASP resources thanks to Woodside Energy

18.01.2022 This week the team also delivered training to Woodside North West staff so they can share the new STEM in Schools activities next year and brought hands-on incursions to students at Karratha Senior High School under #WASP thanks to Woodside Energy

17.01.2022 Lights, camera, action! Thank you to the Gold Industry Group for featuring us (under our new brand) in their commercial. We were excited to share the story of our partnership and the great resources available to schools. A special thanks to the students of Mercedes College who were the real stars of the show!

16.01.2022 The lovely students in Years 2-6 at Warriapendi Primary School enjoyed making fake fossils and doing some chemical testing of rocks today. Using the hand lenses caused great excitement as always and students couldnt believe they were touching a fossil that is at least 65 million years old minds blown! Thanks to our supporters for helping us to make these experiences happen. #eswa #earthsciencerocks

15.01.2022 The awesome Kindy students at Aspiri Primary School really enjoyed becoming miners and digging in the sandpit on Wednesday and Thursday this week. They learnt about the big dump trucks used on mine sites and some of the safety equipment miners wear. The students loved dressing up in their hi-vis vests and helmets! #PALMS thanks to Santos: Proudly Australian

15.01.2022 Students from Karratha Senior High School got hands-on with rocks and plate tectonics at our incursions today. We look forward to working with more students tomorrow thanks to #STEMOutreach with Chevron Australia

15.01.2022 It was fantastic to be in the field with you Bunbury Catholic College!

13.01.2022 The Year 2 students at St Lukes Catholic Primary School, Woodvale have enjoyed getting out in the lovely spring sunshine to be miners in the sandpit, making sure theyre working safely and gathering some important mineral resources. The Year 4s have been exploring soils while the Year 5s tested rocks to find out which one contained lime. Year 1 students investigated what made their beads change colour and Year 6s explored volcanoes and lava viscosity. A busy but fun two days with these lovely students!

13.01.2022 A sneak peek at a video looking at partial melting, igneous rocks and volcanism (with a yummy experiment!). For the full video - https://youtu.be/GlJecQfNU9c.

13.01.2022 Join us for a free professional development session highlighting the numerous STEM projects available for Years 5-10 from #WASP. 29 September at Curtin University, registrations are open now thanks to Woodside Energy

13.01.2022 Rocks, Rocks, Rocks! Today we had the great pleasure of working with students from Hale School (pictured) and St George's Anglican Grammar School on rock ID, the rock cycle and why Geology is important.

12.01.2022 One of our team members is on the road this week and has been lucky enough to visit the wonderful students at Broome Primary School and Roebuck Primary School so far. The Year 1 and 3 students at Broome PS enthusiastically investigated beads that change and also the features of a range of soils. The Year 4 students at Roebuck PS loved learning about how minerals in rocks can help farmers enrich their ancient soils. #WASP thanks to Woodside Energy #eswaontheroad

11.01.2022 Following the release of our tectonic processes animations last month we wanted to share some of the ways we tried to tackle misconceptions in this space (and just how difficult that is) - https://ausearthed.blogspot.com//animating-tectonic-proces. Click here for the videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0uNJio_I0w. #WASP thanks to Woodside Energy

09.01.2022 Whilst a bushfire changed our travel plans a little (sorry Derby!), we got to spend another day with the lovely students at Roebuck Primary School and Broome Primary School. Today, the Year 6 students at Roebuck PS and the Year 5 & 6 students at Broome PS took part in our Lava Viscosity incursion activity where they learnt about the features of shield and stratovolcanoes and modelled lava of different viscosities, using some everyday substances. The students at both schools asked some very insightful questions and their enthusiasm made it difficult to end the lessons! #WASP thanks to Woodside Energy #eswaontheroad

09.01.2022 There was lots of mining happening in the Pre-Primary area of Bannister Creek Primary School today when we visited. Students enjoyed finding out more about mining and how to keep each other safe during this engaging incursion. Lots of ‘gold’ and ‘diamonds’ were found and just a little imagination used! #PALMS thanks to Santos: Proudly Australian

08.01.2022 We were excited to head out to the Wheatbelt and work with Year 3 to 6 students at St Joseph's School, Moora yesterday. Students enjoyed making copies of our ammonite fossils to take home, learning more about volcanoes and relating the chemistry of rocks to farming practices. We definitely learned a thing or two about farming from the students too! #PALMS thanks to Santos: Proudly Australian

07.01.2022 We look at four ways to determine the density of rocks. Find out more - https://youtu.be/VynlKkyVnFE. #WASP thanks to Woodside Energy

05.01.2022 This week we’ve had the pleasure of working with the after-school Learning Groups run by The Smith Family at Clayton View Primary and Dryandra Primary Schools. The students have loved learning about fossils and making their own replicas of sea creatures which became extinct ~65 million years ago. We look forward to working with the group at Ashfield Primary next week. ESWA is proud to support the great work that The Smith Family does to help students and families in WA.
