Science resources include hands-on tools, equipment and learning materials that support investigation rather than rote learning. Instead of passively receiving information, students engage in active discovery.

Within this collection, you’ll find resources that support:

Physical, chemical and earth science concepts

Life science and environmental exploration

Cause-and-effect investigations

Measurement, observation and data collection

Inquiry-based and STEM learning

These resources help educators move science beyond textbooks into real-world learning.

All science resources in this collection are selected with classroom realities in mind and align naturally with:

The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF)

Foundation and primary science outcomes

STEM and inquiry-based learning approaches

Resources are suitable for play-based learning, structured investigations and open-ended exploration.

Inquiry-based science encourages children to:

Ask questions

Make predictions

Test ideas

Observe outcomes

Reflect and explain findings

Science resources that support inquiry help educators guide learning without limiting curiosity, allowing children to learn through doing.

Science resources in this collection are suitable for:

Early learning centres and preschools

Foundation and primary classrooms

STEM programs and maker spaces

Group investigations and hands-on rotations

Inclusive and support learning environments

Their versatility allows educators to adapt resources to different age groups and learning goals.

Science learning supports more than scientific knowledge alone. Through hands-on exploration, children develop:

Collaboration and teamwork

Communication and explanation skills

Persistence and resilience

Confidence to test ideas

A growth mindset

These transferable skills support success across all learning areas.
