Educators

Questacon’s Wonderworks gallery is an opportunity to explore your students’ artistic sides while doing some great science at the same time!

Pre-visit preparation

Research shows that students gain much more when they are prepared for what they will see at a museum or science centre. Get your class to look at the exhibits and images on this web site.

Post-visit activities

Follow-up your visit by collating all your students photos, or by finding examples of “scientific beauty” in the neighbourhood around your school.

Here are some more activities to try:

Make your own antibubbles
Permanent bubble colours
Flashing envelopes
Disgustoscope
Salty prism
