Lab
See the idea. Put it to the test.
956 practicals from Kindergarten to Year 12, in 9 subjects. A practical gives the idea, what you need, the steps, what you should see and a safety card. A teacher-led practical 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 practical 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 practicals 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 practicals 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 practical lists the NSW syllabus outcomes and Australian Curriculum v9 codes it supports. They are references, not a verified or complete curriculum alignment.

A tsunami is a shallow-water wave whose speed depends on depth alone, so it crosses the deep ocean at aircraft speed and slows, steepens and grows as it reaches the coast.
Practical, model not builtLow riskWind turbine output and wind speed: the cube law and the Betz limit
The power carried by wind rises with the cube of its speed and with the area the blades sweep, and no turbine can capture more than 16/27 of it, which sets where wind farms are worth building.
