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.

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 practical works from published figures by hand, with a calculator or in a spreadsheet. No Lab page includes an interactive model; the Concept Studio holds the demonstrations.

    Volume of a rectangular prism: packing centicubes and filling with water

    The volume of a prism is the number of unit cubes in one layer times the number of layers, and 1 cubic centimetre holds 1 millilitre, so a box measured in centimetres predicts the water it holds.

    Volume of a cylinder: formula, measuring cylinder and displacement

    The volume computed from πr²h agrees with the water a cylindrical container holds and with the water an equal solid displaces, tying a formula to two independent measurements.

  3. Mathematics 7–10 · Year 10

    Cone and cylinder of equal base and height: three pours

    A cone fills a cylinder of the same base and height exactly three times, which is the 1/3 in V = (1/3)πr²h.
