SciencePlay Kids

SciencePlay Kids A space for children to explore science concepts in a fun & creative way. Science Workshops, Incursions, Excursions, PD, Activations, Science Cosulting.

I have developed SciencePlay Kids from a combination of my love for science (I have a PhD in Biochemistry) and the pleasure I get from watching my children investigate and explore. I hope you enjoy it too!! Science is everywhere. We encounter it 1000’s of times everyday without even realising. Food is science, weather is science, textures and materials are science, nature is science, the body is s

cience, everything in the kitchen is science, patterns are science, light is science, fluids are science, solids and gas are science, vision is science. There is science EVERYWHERE!

Big ideas and hands-on science came together at the Victorian Tunnelling Centre recently, where we had the pleasure of running a session as part of Girl Power, a program supported by the Suburban Rail Loop and Suburban Connect. 💡🧪

We’re all about sparking curiosity and making science fun and accessible, and hearing such positive feedback from participants makes it all the more rewarding!

✨ If you’re an organisation planning an event or community activation and want to include interactive, engaging science experiences, we’d love to chat! Get in touch via the link in bio.

Chuck your sunnies on and head outside now.

“Sometimes, we see circular rings of light that appear around the Sun or the Moon. These are
called halos and coronas. The rings are not actually around those objects; they are formed by the
way that light from the Sun or the Moon passes through ice crystals or water droplets in Earth’s
atmosphere, producing circular patterns. When admiring rings around the Sun, care must be
taken not to stare directly at the Sun, as this can result in eye damage.” Info from the Queen Victoria Museum website.

We were thrilled to be part of Trade & Tech Fit with the Suburban Rail Loop - Victoria’s largest hands-on careers expo for female and gender-diverse students exploring pathways in trades and tech. 💡🧪

With over 100 exhibitors from a wide range of industries, the event created an inclusive space for young people to discover future career possibilities - and we loved showing just how creative, fun and accessible science can be!

From curious conversations to hands-on STEM moments, it was a joy to share what we do and inspire the next generation of science lovers. 🌈🙌

Big thanks to everyone who came by our stand and to the organisers for making it all possible!
