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.

Our day in order: sequencing events and o'clock times
The events of a school day happen in a fixed order, the days of the week repeat in a cycle of seven, and when the minute hand points to 12 the hour hand points to the hour.
PracticalLow riskCalendar count: dates and the days between events
A calendar sets out the days in rows of seven, so the days between two dates are counted as whole weeks down the columns and extra days along a row, and the months have different lengths.
Practical, model not builtLow riskHalf past and quarter past on a geared clock
The minute hand and the hour hand move together: while the minute hand travels half way round, the hour hand moves half way from one number to the next.
Practical, model not builtLow riskHow long is a minute: comparing and measuring durations
Duration is how long something takes, and it can be compared by starting two events together or measured by counting repeats of a fixed timer.
PracticalLow riskQuarter, half and full turns with bodies and clock hands
A turn is measured by how far round something goes, so two quarter turns make a half turn, four make a full turn, and three quarter turns one way end where one quarter turn the other way ends.
Practical, model not builtLow riskReading time to the minute and timing what happens between
The minute hand moves one small mark each minute and the hour hand moves with it, so a time can be read to the minute and the time between two readings can be counted.
Practical, model not builtLow risk24-hour time and real timetables
The 24-hour clock numbers the hours from 00 to 23 so that a time needs no am or pm, and the length of a trip on a timetable is the difference between two times, counted on to the next hour and then to the arrival time.
