Prep Physical Sciences
Big Bang Education’s ‘How Things Move’ program has been designed to help teachers achieve the Australian Curriculum science understanding in Physical Sciences:
- The way objects move depends on a variety of factors, including their size and shape (ACSSU005)
Students will participate in a hands-on workshop investigating movement, including how different livings move and how their environment affects their movement; and how different objects and balls move and factors that can affect or alter their movement.
Workshops are delivered by a professional science educator with over 10 years of experience.
