Resources for educators and students
Check out the National Science Week Resource Book, developed by the Australian Science Teachers Association. Filled with engaging, inquiry-based activities it is perfect for students from Foundation to Year 10.
Designed for use by educators, parents, preschools, science clubs, outreach officers and curious young minds, it encourages exploration of patterns in nature and decoding meaning through observation. Highlights include a special quantum science section for high school students—featuring an interview with our CEO, Peter Turner—and a project-based learning activity for all year levels that investigates local ecosystems and the hidden language of the natural world.
Bring Quantum to Your Classroom – If you’re looking to inspire your students with real-world science, whether for Science Week or to spark curiosity year-round, get in touch to arrange a visit or discuss opportunities. As availability is limited, we encourage schools to contact us early.
