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.

    Will it happen: chance words and ten coin tosses

    Some events are certain, some are impossible and some might happen, and a coin toss is an event that might go either way every time.

    Fair or unfair: spinners with unequal sectors

    On a spinner the chance of a colour depends on how much of the circle it covers, so a colour with a bigger sector comes up more often over many spins.

  3. Mathematics K–6 · Years 3–4

    Toss and roll: recording repeated chance experiments

    Repeating a chance experiment many times gives results that vary from trial to trial, yet the counts for equally likely outcomes come out close to each other over many trials.

  4. Mathematics K–6 · Years 5–6

    Coin toss: more trials, less variation

    The fraction of heads in a run of tosses wanders far from one half for a few tosses and settles closer to one half as the number of tosses grows.

  5. Mathematics K–6 · Years 5–6

    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.
