  • Coronavirus is here - How can you protect yourself?
    Feb 28 2020
    Fizzics TWIST is back! This is the second episode in our series of podcast experiments. Let us know what you think!    Coronavirus is here and it can be both scary and confusing. What even are viruses and what make coronavirus different?  In this episode we conduct an experiment about how viruses can be transmitted from person to person, and how you can prevent getting infected.    This episode is curriculum linked from Year 5 to Year 10:   Year 5  Living things have structural features and adaptations that help them to survive in their environment (ACSSU043 - Scootle ) Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions (ACSHE081 - Scootle ) Scientific knowledge is used to solve problems and inform personal and community decisions (ACSHE083 - Scootle ) Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks (ACSIS086 - Scootle ) Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and record data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate (ACSIS087 - Scootle ) Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations (ACSIS091 - Scootle )   Year 6  The growth and survival of living things are affected by physical conditions of their environment (ACSSU094 - Scootle ) Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions (ACSHE098 - Scootle ) Scientific knowledge is used to solve problems and inform personal and community decisions (ACSHE100 - Scootle ) Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks (ACSIS086 - Scootle ) Decide variables to be changed and measured in fair tests, and observe measure and record data with accuracy using digital technologies as appropriate (ACSIS087 - Scootle ) Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations (ACSIS091 - Scootle )   Year 7  Classification helps organise the diverse group of organisms (ACSSU111 - Scootle ) Scientific knowledge has changed peoples’ understanding of the world and is refined as new evidence becomes available Science knowledge can develop through collaboration across the disciplines of science and the contributions of people from a range of cultures (ACSHE223 - Scootle ) Identify questions and problems that can be investigated scientifically and make predictions based on scientific knowledge (ACSIS124 - Scootle ) Collaboratively and individually plan and conduct a range of investigation types, including fieldwork and experiments, ensuring safety and ethical guidelines are followed (ACSIS125 - Scootle ) Measure and control variables, select equipment appropriate to the task and collect data with accuracy (ACSIS126 - Scootle ) Reflect on scientific investigations including evaluating the quality of the data collected, and identifying improvements (ACSIS131 - Scootle ) Use scientific knowledge and findings from investigations to evaluate claims based on evidence (ACSIS132 - Scootle )   Year 8  Cells are the basic units of living things; they have specialised structures and functions (ACSSU149 - Scootle ) Multi-cellular organisms contain systems of organs carrying out specialised functions that enable them to survive and reproduce (ACSSU150 - Scootle ) Scientific knowledge has changed peoples’ understanding of the world and is refined as new evidence becomes available (ACSHE134 - Scootle ) Science knowledge can develop through collaboration across the disciplines of science and the contributions of people from a range of cultures (ACSHE226 - Scootle ) Identify questions and problems that can be investigated scientifically and make predictions based on scientific knowledge (ACSIS139 - Scootle ) Collaboratively and individually plan and conduct a range of investigation types, including fieldwork and experiments, ensuring safety and ethical guidelines are followed (ACSIS140 - Scootle ) Measure and control variables, select equipment appropriate to the task and collect data with accuracy (ACSIS141 - Scootle ) Summarise data, from students’ own investigations and secondary sources, and use scientific understanding to identify relationships and draw conclusions based on evidence (ACSIS145 - Scootle ) Reflect on scientific investigations including evaluating the quality of the data collected, and identifying improvements (ACSIS146 - Scootle ) Use scientific knowledge and findings from investigations to evaluate claims based on evidence (ACSIS234 - Scootle )   Year 9  Multi-cellular organisms rely on coordinated and interdependent internal systems to respond to changes to their environment (...

  • Experimenting with Nuclear Science with ANSTO!
    Jan 12 2020
    Fizzics TWIST is back! In this episode we're doing something a little different. Nuclear power has a pretty bad reputation right now, but it might be the energy solution that we need. But wait - how does it work? How does nuclear science work? In this episode we visit ANSTO to learn about nuclear science and build our own cloud chamber (a basic particle detector) to see it in action for ourselves.   This episode is curriculum linked from Year 5 to Year 10:   Year 5  Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions (ACSHE081) Scientific knowledge is used to solve problems and inform personal and community decisions (ACSHE083) With guidance, pose clarifying questions and make predictions about scientific investigations (ACSIS231) Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks (ACSIS086) Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations (ACSIS091)  Year 6  Science involves testing predictions by gathering data and using evidence to develop explanations of events and phenomena and reflects historical and cultural contributions (ACSHE098) Scientific knowledge is used to solve problems and inform personal and community decisions (ACSHE100) With guidance, pose clarifying questions and make predictions about scientific investigations (ACSIS232)  Identify, plan and apply the elements of scientific investigations to answer questions and solve problems using equipment and materials safely and identifying potential risks (ACSIS103) Reflect on and suggest improvements to scientific investigations (ACSIS108) Year 7  Collaboratively and individually plan and conduct a range of investigation types, including fieldwork and experiments, ensuring safety and ethical guidelines are followed (ACSIS125)  Measure and control variables, select equipment appropriate to the task and collect data with accuracy (ACSIS126)  Reflect on scientific investigations including evaluating the quality of the data collected, and identifying improvements (ACSIS131) Use scientific knowledge and findings from investigations to evaluate claims based on evidence (ACSIS132)   Year 8  Scientific knowledge has changed peoples’ understanding of the world and is refined as new evidence becomes available (ACSHE134) Science knowledge can develop through collaboration across the disciplines of science and the contributions of people from a range of cultures (ACSHE226) Identify questions and problems that can be investigated scientifically and make predictions based on scientific knowledge (ACSIS139) Collaboratively and individually plan and conduct a range of investigation types, including fieldwork and experiments, ensuring safety and ethical guidelines are followed (ACSIS140) Measure and control variables, select equipment appropriate to the task and collect data with accuracy (ACSIS141) Reflect on scientific investigations including evaluating the quality of the data collected, and identifying improvements (ACSIS146)   Year 9  All matter is made of atoms that are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons; natural radioactivity arises from the decay of nuclei in atoms (ACSSU177) Scientific understanding, including models and theories, is contestable and is refined over time through a process of review by the scientific community (ACSHE157) Advances in scientific understanding often rely on technological advances and are often linked to scientific discoveries (ACSHE158) Formulate questions or hypotheses that can be investigated scientifically (ACSIS164) Evaluate conclusions, including identifying sources of uncertainty and possible alternative explanations, and describe specific ways to improve the quality of the data (ACSIS171)   Year 10  Scientific understanding, including models and theories, is contestable and is refined over time through a process of review by the scientific community (ACSHE191) Advances in scientific understanding often rely on technological advances and are often linked to scientific discoveries (ACSHE192) Formulate questions or hypotheses that can be investigated scientifically (ACSIS198) Evaluate conclusions, including identifying sources of uncertainty and possible alternative explanations, and describe specific ways to improve the quality of the data (ACSIS205)     About Fizzics TWIST This Week In Science & Technology, brought to you by the team at Fizzics Education!

  • Where's NASA heading to next? Destination MOON!
    May 24 2019

    Fizzics TWIST is back! In episode 29 we discuss:

    Don’t Farm Octopuses: Scientists have warned that under no circumstances should we ever farm octopuses. The reasons are more numerous than their tentacles! Haha!

    Destination Moon: Under the direction of venerable dictator Donald Trump, NASA have announced they are going back to the moon. It’s been more than 45 years since we were last there, so why now?


    Dodgy Pineapples: The new Australian $50 dollar note (lovingly known as a ‘pineapple’) has a teeny tiny text problem. But Australian money is still some of the best in the world - and we have the best slang for it too.
