• TLF-IDA004538

In this unit of work, students develop their skills in working scientifically and their understanding of sound energy and energy transformations.

• TLF-IDA004626

In this STEM lesson students explore local temperature and rainfall datasets over time and represent trends in innovative ways.

• TLF-IDA004620

Students learn about the important role engineering plays in conservation. They explore how engineers, industrial designers and ecologists collaborate to mitigate the impact of human activity on different species.

• TLF-IDA003910

This activity invites students to make a model organ pipe and explore how to amplify a tuning fork by holding it over the pipe and changing the length of the pipe. They investigate how at certain pipe lengths, the pitch made by the tuning fork sounds very loud as it resonates with the air column in the pipe. The activity ...

In this activity, student groups investigate how to clean a dirty water mixture. The groups compete to see who can design a filter that produces the cleanest water in the shortest time

• TLF-IDA003830

In this activity, students identify the water use areas in the school and the water use items found in those areas. On the ‘Water walk’, students also identify any leaking water use items. They assess how water savings can be made in each of these areas.

• TLF-IDA003897

This activity invites students to explore convection currents in water. Warmer water rising through cooler water bends light, allowing students to project its motion onto a screen and observe the flow. The activity includes a list of tools and materials required, what to do and notice, an explanation for the underlying ...

• TLF-IDA003813

In this activity, students use a story of a fictional river to explore the impacts of various land uses on the ecological health of a river. This demonstration can be used to introduce science or geography concepts related to your local catchment e.g. land uses, water cycle, human impacts and contaminants or waste in river ...

• TLF-IDA003896

This activity invites students to investigate why, when you touch a variety of materials, some will seem warmer or colder than others, even when they're at the same temperature. The activity includes a list of tools and materials required, what to do and notice, an explanation for the underlying science of what students ...

• TLF-IDA003917

This activity invites students to explore simple mechanical elements such as cams, levers, and linkages, while creating a moving sculpture. This activity is simple to start but may become more and more complex as students become familiar with possible motions and imagine ways to artistically decorate their contraption. ...
