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.

Counting background radiation: the irregular pattern of random decay
Radioactive decay is random, so counts in equal time intervals scatter irregularly, yet the scatter follows a Poisson distribution in which the variance equals the mean.
Practical, model not builtLow riskFinding a hidden target with rolling marbles: a model of Rutherford scattering
Like Rutherford’s team, the learner infers the size and shape of something unseen from how often and how projectiles are deflected, and the inference sharpens as the number of trials grows.
