Demonstrations of the diverse activities of the members of the Hunter Innovation & Science Hub. The Hunter Innovation and Science Hub is a network of organisations within the Hunter that collaborate to deliver ongoing community science engagement programs, including during National Science Week.
Topic: Environment and Nature
Through the Looking Glass
Students will link literature with science and study the book Window by Jeannie Baker. Students will observe the invisible glass experiment, experiment with microscopes and magnifying glasses. In small groups students will build a marble run over the course of the week. This is a whole school event K to 6.

Flows for Freedom Catchment Health Public Viewing and Information Site – Bythorne Park, Mount Barker
Low flows are crucial for sustaining a minimum level of catchment health. We know that one of the biggest causes of deteriorating catchment health in the Mount Lofty Ranges is the absence of low flows and the Flows for the Future Program is working hard to reinstate this critical water flow pattern. The Hills and…

Regenerating Australia
What does healing mean to you? This year, UNSW Science challenges you to think deeply over National Science Week about what healing means in a variety of contexts: environmental, health and community, to name a few. To bring this to life, we will explore the theme of healing through the new film Regenerating Australia. Regenerating…
Leftovers of a Ghost – Art Exhibition
Artists Emme Orbach and Noah Spivak collaborate on a series of experiment-based artworks in their latest exhibition. ‘Leftovers of a Ghost’ explores one central question: what happens when you allow a chemical reaction to dictate the outcome of an artwork? In the lead-up to the exhibition, the artists have encouraged chemical solutions to evolve on…
