Deep Blue Oceans Secondary 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 has been specially designed for National Science Week 2020 ‘Deep Blue: innovations for the future of our oceans.’ Also available 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 activities listed below will be covered during the conference. Upon booking, you will receive a PDF outlining the materials that you can have on hand to make the workshop more interactive. It’s not a problem if you can’t source all of the materials, as we’ll have these on hand for the workshop 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!)

PW2 The action of forces that act at a distance may be observed and related to everyday situations. PW3 Energy appears in different forms including movement (kinetic energy), heat and potential energy, and causes change within systems (ACSSU155). Energy transfer through different mediums can be explained using wave and particle models (ACSSU182) The motion of objects can be described and predicted using the laws of physics (ACSSU229) Energy conservation in a system can be explained by describing energy transfers and transformations (ACSSU190) Interactions between organisms, including the effects of human activities can be represented by food chains and food webs (ACSSU112) Multi-cellular organisms contain systems of organs carrying out specialised functions that enable them to survive and reproduce (ACSSU150) Ecosystems consist of communities of interdependent organisms and abiotic components of the environment; matter and energy flow through these systems ACSSU176 Australian National Curriculum Mapping for all our science workshops & shows NSW SCIENCE SYLLABUS CONTENT for all our incursions NSW Science Syllabus Content: A student: develops knowledge of the Physical World, Earth and Space, Living World and Chemical World, and understanding about the nature, development, use and influence of science (SC4-10PW). appreciates the importance of science in their lives and the role of scientific inquiry in increasing understanding of the world around them SC4-1VA & SC5-1VA relates the structure and function of living things to their classification, survival and reproduction (SC4-14LW) describes the action of unbalanced forces in everyday situations (SC4-10PW). analyses interactions between components and processes within biological systems (SC5-14LW) applies models, theories and laws to explain situations involving energy, force and motion (SC5-10PW).

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?
