Ocean Smart Schools Enquire Now Join us for an exciting live show at your school designed for primary students to dive into the fascinating world of marine science! Discover how abiotic factors—like temperature, pressure, light, and sound—shape life underwater and our climate Plus, learn about technologies that support ocean sustainability. Ocean Smart Schools is more than a science show, it’s a powerful educational experience that strengthens young people’s connection to the ocean and their role in protecting it. By bringing the wonders of the sea into classrooms, we spark curiosity, build understanding, and empower students to see why a healthy ocean matters, not just to the planet, but to their own lives. This program gives children tools and inspiration to take positive action, nurturing the next generation of ocean-conscious leaders.

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 Science and Technology K–6 Syllabus (Implementation from 2027) For explanatory points & implementation advice for each dot point, please visit the NESA Science and Technology K–6 Curriculum site STE-SCI-01 identifies and describes characteristics of living things, properties of materials, and movement STE-PQU-01 poses questions based on observations to collect data ST1-SCI-01 measures and describes changes in living things, materials, movement, Earth and the sky ST1-PQU-01 poses questions based on observations and information to investigate cause and effect ST2-SCI-01 uses information to investigate the solar system and the effects of energy on living, physical and geological systems ST2-PQU-01 poses questions to create fair tests that investigate the effects of energy on living things and physical systems ST3-SCI-01 uses evidence to explain how scientific knowledge can be used to develop sustainable practices ST3-PQU-01 poses questions to identify variables and conducts fair tests to gather data 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) What you'll learn ✅ How oceans regulate our climate ✅ How ocean acidification impacts coral reefs ✅ The role of heat and salt in driving ocean currents ✅ How pressure changes underwater affect marine life and scuba divers ✅ Why light fades as you go deeper—and what that means for deep-sea creatures ✅ How whales and dolphins use echolocation to find food ✅ The latest technologies that are helping scientists protect our oceans and more! Includes the Ocean Smart Activity Booklet Filled with fun facts, games, and engaging activities that complement the Ocean Smart Schools Program, this booklet encourages students to think about the impact of humans on the ocean environment and how their actions can help ocean sustainbility.
