Exhibition Educational resources

Complementing our Exhibitions

A full range of educational materials are developed to complement and supplement exhibitions that are presented by Questacon.

For recent exhibitions, these materials are linked to the National Statements and Profiles, and progressively they will be made available through the Questacon website.

For exhibitions developed elsewhere, and hosted at Questacon, we make available any resources developed to accompany the exhibitions, or provide sources of information and activities.

Other resources

Our website has a range of other activities not linked to particular exhibitions. Try exploring Fun Zone, Puzzles, Science Circus Demonstrations, the Science Squad's Demonstrations or Dinosaurs Alive!

This search form only returns results from within the Questacon website.

About dowloadable resources

Lots of the educational resources here are presented in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format. This is the electronic equivalent of a blackline master... when you print the documents they look just they do when we print them!

To view and print Acrobat files you'll need the free Acrobat Reader. You can download that from Adobe. Information about the improved accessibility of Acrobat is also available: http://access.adobe.com/ .

Disclaimer

Please note that some exhibits may not be on the floor if are they are under repair or maintenance, or are touring to another science centre. Teachers are welcome to arrange a site visit to check available exhibits or contact Questacon for such information from Group Bookings via e-mail or telephone on (02) 6270 2893.
