About
The day kicks off with a meet and greet with our enthusiastic Rangers followed by an interactive and engaging science presentation which will wow students with exciting liquid nitrogen experiments! In this practical and interactive STEM-based program, students investigate the physical characteristics of objects and how they move such as bouncing, flying, jumping, rolling and sliding. They’ll interact with objects in the natural world and observe the effects of push and pull forces on familiar objects. They’ll participate in a range of fun activities and be challenged to develop solutions for identified needs (like the need for speed in our go-kart championship!) and explore possible solutions to movement challenges. Selected students will be invited up to dress in real science uniforms such as lab coats, goggles and gloves whilst we explore the everyday role of scientists and their importance in our community. Surrounded by sea, land and open air, students will participate in guided investigations to explore how objects move within these spaces. Students will laugh and cheer as they watch this engaging presentation and get hands-on all whilst learning about objects and how they move.
Syllabus Outcomes Addressed
STe-5PW-ST observes the way objects move and relates changes in motion to push and pull forces
STe-2DP-T develops solutions to an identified need
PDe-5 explores possible solutions to movement challenges through participation in a range of activities

Syllabus Content Focus
Key inquiry questions answered:
- What causes objects to move in different ways?
Movement of objects
Students:
- observe the way a variety of familiar objects move, for example: (ACSSU005)
- sliding
- rolling
- spinning
- bouncing
- observe the effects of push and pull forces on familiar objects, for example: (ACSSU033)
- changes in motion, eg starting, stopping, changing speed or direction
- changes in shape, eg stretching, breaking
- participate in guided investigations to explore how particular objects move on land, water and/or in the air, and how these objects are affected by forces (ACTDEK002)
Day Outline
| Introductory Presentation | The day kicks off with a meet and greet with our enthusiastic Rangers followed by an interactive and engaging presentation. (approx. 30-40 minutes) |
| Grouping: Students are divided into two groups. Students are allocated a Ranger guide for each activity. Each activity is on a rotational basis. | |
| Activity 1 | Students participate in each activity for approximately 40 minutes. |
| Activity 2 | Students participate in each activity for approximately 40 minutes. |
Activities
Introduction: The day kicks off with a meet and greet with our enthusiastic Rangers followed by an interactive and engaging presentation, including liquid nitrogen demonstrations! We’ll get student volunteers up to dress up as scientists and demonstrate the correct use of lab coats and safety equipment and use objects from our display to demonstrate how objects move in this exciting introductory talk!
Please select which 2 of the 3 activities we have available during your booking request:
Activity 1: Slime Bonanza – TOP PICK – Students will LOVE getting their hands all dirty and slimy with this activity. Here students will be changing the shape of an object by applying a force to it such as squashing and stretching it. Students will get to stretch and punch the slime to compact it to identify the properties of forces. The best part = students get to take the slime home with them.
Activity 2: Launching Air Pressure Rockets – TOP PICK – Students design and build their own rocket before launching their spacecraft into the sky using a specially-designed high-pressure industrial rocket launcher. Through friendly competition, students will monitor the highest rockets, learning how each shape and design affects movement. A unique, engaging and action-packed activity focusing on air pressure and its effects on everyday materials.
Activity 3: Billy Cart Championships – Students will race each other in teams with our custom-made billy carts. Students observe how objects with wheels move such as rolling. This fantastic experience will enable your students to learn how to conquer forces whilst working together in teams building their communication skills, balance and fitness.
