Deep Blue Oceans Show Enquire Now Science of the Deep Blue! Dive into the science of the sea as we explore the physical factors that determine life underwater and along our coastlines. Learn about what drives ocean acidification and its effect on coral. How do heat and salt drive our ocean currents? How does pressure change underwater and what does this mean for marine life as well as scuba divers? Why do light wavelengths & intensity change as you go deeper and what does this mean for organisms? How do whales and dolphins use echolocation to locate prey? Which technologies are being used in current ocean research? … and more! This show & workshop was specially designed for National Science Week 2020 ‘Deep Blue: innovations for the future of our oceans.’ Available as a primary school science incursion within Australia or as a video conference to any school around the globe! Trustpilot Online Class Version We’ve run live interactive distance programs since 2010 and are highly experienced in making online classes engaging for students on a variety of web conferencing platforms. All of the same curriculum points will be covered, but the activities may vary from those listed for face-to-face incursions. Our online classes include opportunities for students to ask questions. Full child protections are in place We usually connect to classes & homes via Zoom, however if you wish to use a different software we can work with you on getting the connection live. If you connect with us via Zoom Full system requirements for Zoom here Each student should test their Zoom connection here. Once the date & time is arranged we will send you simple connection instructions (one click & you’re in!)

Living things live in different places where their needs are met (ACSSU211). Living things have life cycles (ACSSU072). Living things have structural features and adaptations that help them to survive in their environment (ACSSU043). The way objects move depends on a variety of factors, including their size and shape (ACSSU005). A push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape (ACSSU033). Light and sound are produced by a range of sources and can be sensed (ACSSU020). Heat can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another (ACSSU049). Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance (ACSSU076). Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted (ACSSU080). Changes to materials can be reversible, such as melting, freezing, evaporating; or irreversible, such as burning and rusting (ACSSU095). Solids, liquids and gases have different observable properties and behave in different ways (ACSSU077) Australian National Curriculum Mapping for all our science workshops & shows NSW SCIENCE SYLLABUS CONTENT for all our incursions NSW Science Syllabus Content: A student: STe-5PW-ST observes the way objects move and relates changes in motion to push and pull forces STe-3LW-ST explores the characteristics, needs and uses of living things ST1-8PW-S describes common forms of energy and explores some characteristics of sound energy ST2-4LW-S compares features and characteristics of living and non-living things ST2-6MW-S describes how adding or removing heat causes a change of state ST2-8PW-ST describes the characteristics and effects of common forms of energy, such as light and heat ST2-9PW-ST describes how contact and non-contact forces affect an object’s motion ST3-4LW-S examines how the environment affects the growth, survival and adaptation of living things ST3-6MW-S explains the effect of heat on the properties and behaviour of materials ST3-8PW-ST explains how energy is transformed from one form to another ST3-9PW-ST investigates the effects of increasing or decreasing the strength of a specific contact or non-contact force NSW K – 10 Science Syllabus mapping for all our incursions Victorian Science Syllabus Different living things have different life cycles and depend on each other and the environment to survive (VCSSU058) Heat can be produced in many ways and can move from one object to another; a change in the temperature of an object is related to the gain or loss of heat by the object (VCSSU063) Forces can be exerted by one object on another through direct contact or from a distance (VCSSU064) Living things have structural features and adaptations that help them to survive in their environment (VCSSU074) The growth and survival of living things are affected by the physical conditions of their environment (VCSSU075) Light from a source forms shadows and can be absorbed, reflected and refracted (VCSSU080) Print a PDF which details K to 6 mapping of all our science visits Science Show Demonstrations Light attenuation What happens to light as we go deeper? Under pressure How does pressure change as you descend into the ocean? Colourful currents How do heat and salinity affect ocean currents? Echolocation We look at how whales & dolphins hunt prey It glows! How is luminescence used by some organisms underwater? Science of SCUBA Divers avoid decompression sickness... how & why? Ocean acidification Corals can't handle big changes in pH. How is this a problem now? Hydropower We can harness the energy of the waves! Weird sealife We look at the diversity of life underwater Whale snot sampling Seriously, this is a thing! Using drones in current research Fresh vs salt water How much freshwater is there really in the world? Cleaning our oceans How are scientists & engineers combating pollution in our oceans?
