Workshops require a lot of equipment, so we can only offer one type per incursion. If you would like to include your whole Primary School in an incursion then a Science Show is a fun way to engage all ages.
Please click on the Workshop images above to see the Curriculum Links
Teacher assistance or additional adult supervision is required for incursions
'Circuits & Switches' or 'Wind Tunnels' do not require a projector or TV. 'Marble Runs' and 'How Sound!' do require a projector or TV.
For the table top Workshops 'Circuits & Switches', 'Turbulent Tunnels', and 'How Sound!' the ideal layout is 7 tables with no chairs. For 'Marble Runs' the ideal layout is a big empty space with no tables or chairs.
A hall or double class room
30-45 minutes set-up time
Between 60-90 minutes per Workshop session with a reset/student transfer time of roughly 10 minutes in between sessions.
Discovery is happy to discuss incursion opportunities with community organisations that will ensure adequate staffing and safety.
Yes but if the workshop needs to be packed up and moved then we charge the original price
We would like to acknowledge that the Discovery Centre is on the traditional land of the Dja Dja Wurrung clan of the Kulin Nation, and recognise that they are among the first scientists, astronomers and engineers in human history. We pay respect to them, their culture and knowledge, and to the Elders, past, present & emerging. Through our work here, we promote scientific understanding in the hope that we can help tend to this land to keep it healthy for future generations.
