Working with Water

Working with Water

Explore water's properties with this hands-on workshop for younger students

Dive into the depths of water science for primary students!

Water, water everywhere! We look at the physical science of water itself in this hands-on workshop.
Skipper a soap-powered boat, create a Cartesian diver, investigate water chemistry and more.
Participants will explore:

  • sinking and floating
  • surface tension & pressure
  • fair testing

… plus all things wet in this fun and engaging primary science workshop visit!

Also available as a LIVE video conference to any school around the globe!

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 demonstrations, Q&A, and hands-on activities (you will receive a materials list upon booking).
  • 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.

Australian ACARA Content Outcomes:
Science

Earth’s resources, including water, are used in a variety of ways (ACSSU032).

Objects are made of materials that have observable properties (ACSSU003).

Everyday materials can be physically changed in a variety of ways (ACSSU018).

Different materials can be combined, including by mixing, for a particular purpose (ACSSU031).

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).

Australian National Curriculum Mapping for all our science workshops & shows

NSW Science Syllabus Content
A student:

STe-5PW-ST
observes the way objects move and relates changes in motion to push and pull forces

ST1-6MW-S
identifies that materials can be changed or combined

ST1-7MW-T
describes how the properties of materials determine their use

ST1-9PW-ST
investigates how forces and energy are used in products

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-PQU-01
poses questions based on observations and information to investigate cause and effect

Victorian F – 10 Science Curriculum

Earth’s resources are used in a variety of ways (VCSSU047)

The way objects move depends on a variety of factors including their size and shape: a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape (VCSSU048)

Respond to and pose questions, and make predictions about familiar objects and events (VCSIS050)

Participate in guided investigations, including making observations using the senses, to explore and answer questions (VCSIS051)

Natural and processed materials have a range of physical properties; these properties can influence their use (VCSSU060)
