See the idea. Put it to the test.

956 activities from Kindergarten to Year 12, in 13 subject areas. A practical gives the idea, what you need, the steps, what you should see and a safety card. A teacher-led demonstration gives the idea and its hazards; its method is for tutors on the learning platform.

Review

Reviewed before publication (owner’s confirmation, 24 September 2026). That covers every activity here, and a practical’s page lists the sources its author read.

A safety card on every page

The risk, who supervises and the hazards. The 38 teacher-led demonstrations show their idea and hazards here; their materials, steps and sources, and any result, control or note that states a number or an amount, are for tutors and administrators on the learning platform.

School laboratory, not for home

207 activities are medium or high risk. Each says so on its page: In a school laboratory, with a teacher supervising, under the school's risk assessment. Not for home.

Curriculum references

Each activity lists the NSW syllabus outcomes and Australian Curriculum v9 codes it supports. They are references, not a verified or complete curriculum alignment.

Clear all

A practical is carried out at the bench, in the classroom or outdoors. A practical with its model not built stands on its own; the page says where a step mentions the model. A calculation and data activity works from published figures by hand, with a calculator or in a spreadsheet. No page includes an interactive model.

    Two dice: why 7 comes up most

    The sums of two dice are not equally likely because more pairs of faces make 7 than make 2 or 12, and many rolls show the counts settling towards those chances.

    Two strips and a split pin: quadrilaterals from their diagonals

    Two strips pinned together act as the diagonals of a quadrilateral, and measuring the sides and angles of each shape they make, and folding it along its diagonals, shows which quadrilateral it is and which diagonals are lines of symmetry.

    Which nets fold into a cube

    A net is a flat arrangement of faces that folds into an object, and only some arrangements of six squares fold into a cube.

    Which scales: choosing units and instruments for mass

    Different scales read to different steps, so the unit and the instrument are chosen to suit the object, and grams, kilograms and tonnes convert by thousands.
