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.

Solar cell angle test: light energy into electrical energy
A solar cell transforms light energy into electrical energy, and the current it delivers depends on how directly the sunlight strikes it, which is why rooftop panels are tilted toward the Sun.
Practical, model not builtLow riskTwo globes, two ways: series and parallel circuits
In a series circuit the energy from the cells is shared along one path, so two globes glow dimly, while in a parallel circuit each globe has its own path to the cells and glows almost as brightly as one alone, drawing more current and emptying the cells faster.
