This year, Nature Play QLD has worked with the Australian Citizen Science Association and other stakeholders to launch activities to celebrate citizen science not just on 7 November but from July until December 2020. Educational resources have been provided for teachers and parents to encourage them to run a BioBlitz a period of biological surveying to record all the l...iving species within a designated area. This program is open to primary schools, early childhood centres, OSHCs, home schools, daycares and parents at home.

01.01.2022 Bicycles are so cool! Not only are they fun (see picture of Mary on her speed machine), but also they are #science machines which convert energy: energy from what you eat into kinetic energy (or movement). So, you eat a sandwich, then jump on the bike and ride somewhere. #science The amazing thing about bicycles is they are super-efficient at converting energy from your body into kinetic energy around 90% efficiency! A car only has between 20-35% efficiency. This means only... about one-quarter of every litre of petrol that goes into a car is used to move the car forward. Plus when you’re on a bike, you don’t need to worry about parking or polluting the planet or paying for a gym membership. Win win win! So get on ya bike today, keep fit, and you’ll realise that there’s #STEMEverywhere. The #STEMEverywhere campaign by Australia's Chief Scientist is about highlighting everyday people doing everyday activities, and showing you how they relate to #STEM. Feel free to join the campaign by using the hashtag #STEMEverywhere or commenting below with an image or activity you think relates to STEM. If you’ve been enjoying this #STEMEverywhere series and are feeling inspired to take some more STEM activities, visit the STARportal for lots of ideas for home and school STEM fun.
