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.

Estimating 30 seconds: z-scores and the empirical rule on a class dataset
A class of time estimates gives a real dataset whose mean, median and mode can be compared, whose values convert to z-scores, and whose spread can be tested against the 68-95-99.7 rule.
Practical, model not builtLow riskDrop height against bounce height: scatterplot, correlation and least-squares line
Two measured variables with a physical link give a scatterplot whose strength and direction a correlation coefficient measures and whose trend a least-squares line predicts, within the measured range only.
Practical, model not builtLow riskMeans of dice: the sampling distribution of the mean and the central limit theorem
A single die is flat, but the mean of ten dice is bunched around 3.5 with a spread that shrinks with the square root of the sample size, and its distribution looks normal although the population does not.
