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.

Aquifer in a tank: water table, wells and a leaking pollutant
Rain soaks into permeable layers and collects above impermeable ones; a well draws the water table down into a cone, and anything spilled at the surface follows the flow to the well.
PracticalLow riskPorosity and permeability of gravel, sand and clay
Porosity is how much water a sediment can hold and permeability is how fast it lets water through; both come from the size and packing of the grains, which is why an aquifer is sand or gravel and clay seals it.
Practical, model not builtLow riskWater cycle in a box: energy that lifts water and cold that returns it
Evaporation takes about 2.4 kJ from the water for every gram it lifts into the air and condensation gives it back, so the water cycle is also one of the main ways energy moves from the ocean to the atmosphere.
