Discover how geologists work! Go beyond igneous, sedimentary & metamorphic rocks to learn the variety of contributions minerals make.
A hands-on Earth Science workshop where students investigate geological processes and landforms. Your students will learn about:
This science workshop is a run as a station-based exploratory session with our presenter working with the students to ensure learning outcomes are met.
Australian ACARA Content Outcomes:
Observable changes occur in the sky and landscape (ACSSU019).
Earth’s surface changes over time as a result of natural processes and human activity (ACSSU075).

NSW Science Syllabus Content
A student:
ST1-10ES-S
recognises observable changes occurring in the sky and on the land and identifies Earth’s resources
ST2-10ES-S
investigates regular changes caused by interactions between the Earth and the Sun, and changes to the Earth’s surface
ST3-10ES-S
explains regular events in the solar system and geological events on the Earth’s surface
For explanatory points & implementation advice for each dot point, please visit the NESA Science and Technology K–6 Curriculum site
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-PQU-01
poses questions to identify variables and conducts fair tests to gather data

I just wanted to pass on how much the staff and students really enjoyed it and how perfect it was to launch our science week activities. The students were enthralled, educated and entertained – a perfect trifecta!
-Caulfield Grammar School – Big Science Big FunThanks so much for presenting at our school on Monday. Our students enjoyed the show.
-Greenvale Primary School – Big Science Big FunFizzics Education curated a thoughtful and hands-on experience for the children, incorporating practical, skill-based learning activities and followed by a science presentation at the end of the event involving liquid nitrogen. This was delivered safely and effectively, capturing both the children and the parents for the duration of the presentation.
